 AI:ATHow does AI perceive our 3D world from a few photos? How can it repre
 sent it and reason about it? Join us in this deep dive webinar to learn ho
 w AI can visually understand.How does AI reconstruct a 3D scene from a han
 dful of photos? This session lifts the hood on learnable 3D scene represen
 tation\, aimed at ML practitioners\, designers\, and persons with a techni
 cal interest but not necessarily in computer vision.We start with inverse 
 rendering\, the paradigm that lets us learn 3D structure directly from 2D 
 images\, and survey the landscape of how 3D scenes can be represented (NeR
 Fs\, point clouds\, meshes\, … ) before diving deep into Gaussian Splatt
 ing: how it works\, why it's fast\, and what makes it different from neura
 l implicit approaches.We'll then explore practical applications: 3D recons
 truction\, infusing semantic meaning into 3D scenes\, and text-based scene
  retrieval that allows querying the 3D world using natural language. You'l
 l leave with a solid\, intuitive grasp of how AI learns to perceive and re
 present 3D space\, and where this fast-moving field is headed.At the end o
 f this session you will:Understand the inverse rendering paradigm and how 
 AI learns 3D structure from 2D imagesGrasp how the Gaussian Splatting algo
 rithm works under the hood\, and why it's fast and efficientSee how multi-
 modal AI methods incorporate Gaussian Splatting to tackle various tasks in
  an explainable manner  Target audienceAnyone from industry\, public adm
 in and academia interested in 3D Computer Vision.This webinar is open and 
 free of charge for all participants from academia\, industry\, and public 
 administration from EU and/or EuroHPC JU member countries.Entry level & pr
