Using Computer Vision to Advance the Sciences

I'll present some of our ongoing work on using computer vision to create impact in the sciences. These target a two areas, solar physics and evolutionary biology, that deal with objects of radically different sizes but are unified by a need for high quality, trustworthy data.

I'll show off our efforts, done in collaboration with domain experts, that aim to produce the best possible maps of the Sun's powerful magnetic field and have created some of the world's largest repositories of data about bird morphology.

Solaris: Building a Multiplayer Video World Model in Minecraft

This talk will introduce Solaris: a multiplayer video world model in Minecraft. I will first present SolarisEngine, the software platform we built to simulate realistic multiplayer gameplay between bots at scale, enabling us to collect a large training dataset of aligned multiplayer actions and frames.

I will then discuss our staged training pipeline, starting with single-player pre-training before converting the model into a long-horizon multiplayer generator through bidirectional training, followed by causal training, and concluding with Self Forcing. I will also cover our memory-efficient implementation of Self Forcing, called Checkpointed Self Forcing.

Finally, I will showcase generated videos illustrating how Solaris maintains coherent long-horizon multiplayer interactions.
