PAPERS

LION: Latent point diffusion models for generating 3D shapes

Nvidia introduced the Latent Point Diffusion Model (LION), a DDM for 3D shape generation. LION focuses on learning a 3D generative model directly from geometry data without image-based training.

Omni3D: A Large Benchmark and Model for 3D Object Detection in the Wild

Omni3D is a large benchmark and model for detecting 3D objects in the wild, which uses and merges existing datasets, resulting in 234,000 images annotated with more than 3 million instances and 97 categories.

EVA3D: Compositional 3D Human Generation from 2D Image Collections
EVA3D is a high-quality unconditional 3D human generative model that only requires 2D image collections for training, to achieve state-of-the-art 3D human generation performance.

Text2Light: Zero-Shot Text-Driven HDR Panorama Generation
Text2Light is a zero-shot text-driven framework that generates 4K+ resolution HDRIs without paired training data. The ability of Text2Light to generate high-quality HDR panoramas is proven.

Ask Me Anything: A Simple Strategy for Prompting Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) transfer well to new tasks out-of-the-box if given a natural language prompt. This paper proposes a new method of prompt generation called AMA (Ask Me Anything).

State-of-the-Art Generalization Research in NLP: A Taxonomy and Review
The authors propose a way for creating and evaluating generalizations in NLP. They present an analysis of the current state of generalization research, and make recommendations for the future.
