Dolby Labs invests $600,000 in Georgia Tech's computing research

🧠 Last week at Covision Lab, we held an internal tech session on Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) and Domain Generalization - two complementary approaches for improving the robustness of vision models under domain shift between training and deployment. 🌍🤖 We explored how these methods enable models to transfer knowledge across visual domains without relying on labeled target data. The session covered key techniques such as DANN, FCN in the Wild, Maximum Classifier Discrepancy (MCD), CORAL, DLOW, and MixStyle, highlighting how they align feature distributions or manipulate style statistics to mitigate the effects of domain shift. It was an engaging discussion that sparked new ideas on applying domain adaptation and generalization techniques across multiple projects at Covision Lab. 🚀   #TechSession #DomainAdaptation #DomainGeneralization #ComputerVision #DeepLearning #AIResearch

A new era of art and AI is coming 🎨 Refik Anadol’s Dataland, the world’s first dedicated AI art museum, will open next spring at The Grand LA, redefining how we experience creativity and technology. The museum will feature the ground breaking Infinity Room, powered by World Models, a new kind of AI that understands real-world physics. In partnership with Google Arts & Culture, Dataland is also launching an artist residency program exploring the future of human–machine collaboration.

This is what I WISH someone had told me before my first AI conference. When I attended my first computer vision event (ECCV 2018, in Munich 🇩🇪). I had no idea what I was doing... no plan, no focus, just excitement. And honestly, I missed out on a lot because of it. So here’s what I do differently now before every big event like #ICCV2025 👇 → Define what you want to take away I like to start with a few keywords that capture what I’m curious about. For me, the keywords for this conference are: - multimodal - robotics - embodied - safety It helps me focus on what I want to learn, not just what’s trending. → Use the conference website wisely Every big conference publishes workshop and paper lists early. Take an hour to scan titles and abstracts... it’s the best prep you can do. * Use the keywords defined by the previous step to filter the content to highlight relevant content. → Know your possible outcomes You’ll either: (1) find tons of papers/workshops in your area, lucky you! OR (2) find fewer matches: which is fine, because you’ll know exactly where to spend your attention. → Build a short connection list List collaborators or friends you want to reconnect with. Then add a few new people working close to your interests... building meaningful connections starts with intention. If you are not careful, you might spend the whole conference talking mostly with people that you already knew. → And finally, bring your A-game. People might not remember what you said or did, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. Be kind. Be curious. Have fun. --- Your turn: If you’re attending ICCV or any other big conference this year, what’s your go-to strategy to make the most of it?

“With robots and AI taking away jobs, is there still room for empathy on the part of the viewer when seeing them on stage?” asks experimental theater director Richard Maxwell. Maxwell and collaborators have been on campus for two-week residency - organized by the Department of Theater and co-sponsored by E&I - developing a new work for the stage that features robots as characters. Exploring the intersection of art, technology, and empathy, Maxwell’s residency has included class visits, open rehearsals, an artist talk, and working with students across the curriculum.

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗯 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 Last Saturday, Smartlab West opened its doors for the Weekend of Science, welcoming curious young minds and their families to step into the world of research and discovery. Children aged 8 to 14 became real scientists for a day — wearing lab coats, experimenting, and exploring how science connects to everyday life. Together with Sanquin and HID, visitors discovered how fascinating research can be through hands-on activities like: 🧪 Blood typing with Sanquin 🍬 Chemical experiments – how sour is a sour candy? 🔬 Microscope sessions 👃 Sensory experiments A special highlight was the sneak preview of the new Experience Lab, developed by HID, the Gemeente Amsterdam, and MBO College West | ROC van Amsterdam. Using VR glasses, visitors explored how future students will learn about medical research and diagnostics through gamification and real-life scenarios. The Experience Lab prepares the next generation of professionals for vital roles in healthcare innovation. Despite the rainy weather, the atmosphere was lively, and the sense of curiosity was contagious. Het Slotervaart

In this eye-opening Raise the Line conversation, Sean Moloney, CEO and founder of EmbodyXR, explains how AI-powered extended reality (XR) -- which integrates augmented, virtual, and simulation-based environments -- allows learners to interact with patients, pursue multiple diagnostic choices, and experience varied outcomes based on their decisions. Join host Lindsey Smith as she explores how EmbodyXR maintains clinical accuracy, the connectivity it offers between headsets, personal computers and mobile devices, and other capabilities that are shaping the future of how healthcare professionals, patients and family caregivers will learn.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Great things in science and business are result of decades of hard work and research behind the screen. People put in sweat and blood without the surety of anything in return except for countless failures on the way. Blue sky research is the term for researching without a definite goal. People driven by curiosity, hunger for new knowledge work on such things. The primary motive is not to create ever-lasting wealth but to create an ever-lasting impact on the world. Sony Computer Science Labs have achieved great feats through Blue-Sky research. Over the duration of 30 years, despite being funded by the corporate giant SONY, the CS Labs have been successful in maintaining its autonomy from the influence of corporate motives. Over the years the Sony's CS labs have transitioned from researching upon pure science to widening it's scope over fields having practical applications like AI, Biology, Augmented Reality, Agriculture, etc. Their scope have now been more focused on addressing challenges faced by humanity. Things like robotic dogs, humanoid robots, AI-assisted music production, Augmenting human intellect through technologies like brain- embedded chips, Bio-inspired prosthetics, Synecoculture, etc. invented by Sony's CS Labs shows the spirit of the researchers and what avoiding use of KPI-matrices for performance evaluation in the field of creativity and imagination can do. When you are driven by curiosity and have a strong will, sky is the limit.🚀 #BlueSkyResearch #AI #Robotics #Sony #SonyCSL #BioTech #HumanAugmentation #Creativity
