Hi! Paris Advanced Fellowships

Creative AI: Enhance Lightweight Learning for Graphics with Application to Other Scientists.

Through this project we aim at enabling scientits to sketch & refine their mental image of animated 3D scene. Our methodology leverage lightweight learning such as for allowing efficient and controlable result, with procedural layered models. The project is funding the PhD of Tara Butler, the research of Renaud Chabrier, and the venue of James Gain (University of Cape Town) as invited professor.

Main researchers involved: Marie-Paule Cani, Damien Rohmer, Renaud Chabrier
