Abstract: Embodied intelligence is one of the important milestones of artificial intelligence. In this talk, I will introduce several important data sources in the embodied intelligence large model, and how to train the embodied large model from these data. Specifically, it includes Internet video data, pre-trained vision language large models, imitation learning data and reinforcement learning data. I will introduce the following work: (1) General Flow, which learns world priors from human video data (2) ViLa and CoPa, that extract world priors from pre-trained large vision language models (3) Foundation RL, which employs large models to assist real world RL, to greatly improve the model success rate.
Bio: Yang Gao is an assistant professor at IIIS, Tsinghua University. Before that, he got his Ph.D. degree from UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Trevor Darrell. He also spent a year at Berkeley for his postdoc, working with Trevor Darrell and Pieter Abbeel. He is mainly interested in computer vision and robotic learning. Before that, he graduated from the computer science department at Tsinghua University, where he worked with Prof. Jun Zhu on Bayesian inference. He has interned in Google Research on natural language processing from 2011 to 2012, with Dr. Edward Y. Chang and Dr. Fangtao Li and in Waymo autonomous driving team during the summer of 2016. He also worked on autonomous driving problems at Intel research during the summer of 2018, with Dr. Vladlen Koltun.
