Identifying concept libraries from language about object structure

Catherine Wong, William P. McCarthy, Gabriel Grand +5

Our understanding of the visual world goes beyond naming objects, encompassing our ability to parse objects into meaningful parts, attributes, and relations. In this work, we lever…

GenMatter: Perceiving Physical Objects with Generative Matter Models

Eric Li, Arijit Dasgupta, Yoni Friedman +5

Human visual perception offers valuable insights for understanding computational principles of motion-based scene interpretation. Humans robustly detect and segment moving entities…

Approaching human 3D shape perception with neurally mappable models

Thomas P. O'Connell, Tyler Bonnen, Yoni Friedman +4

Humans effortlessly infer the 3D shape of objects. What computations underlie this ability? Although various computational models have been proposed, none of them capture the human…

Evaluating Multiview Object Consistency in Humans and Image Models

Tyler Bonnen, Stephanie Fu, Yutong Bai +5

We introduce a benchmark to directly evaluate the alignment between human observers and vision models on a 3D shape inference task. We leverage an experimental design from the cogn…

Unsupervised Segmentation in Real-World Images via Spelke Object Inference

Honglin Chen, Rahul Venkatesh, Yoni Friedman +4

Self-supervised, category-agnostic segmentation of real-world images is a challenging open problem in computer vision. Here, we show how to learn static grouping priors from motion…
