GAP3D: Generative Alignment of VLM Latents to Patch-Level Embeddings for 3D Generation

Polytimi Anna Gkotsi, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Mohammad Mahdi Derakhshani

Recent approaches integrating vision-language models (VLMs) as prompt encoders for generative model conditioning typically rely on expensive end-to-end training or map features to…

From Demonstrations to Rewards: Test-Time Prompt Optimization for VLM Reward Models

Christian Gumbsch, Leonardo Barcellona, Lennard Schünemann +7

Reinforcement learning relies on accurate reward functions, which are often hand-crafted or even unavailable in real-world applications, such as robotics. Recent work has explored…

Reconstruction by Generation: 3D Multi-Object Scene Reconstruction from Sparse Observations

Andrii Zadaianchuk, Leonardo Barcellona, Lennard Schuenemann +7

Accurately reconstructing complex full multi-object scenes from sparse observations remains a core challenge in computer vision and a key step toward scalable and reliable simulati…

CTRL-O: Language-Controllable Object-Centric Visual Representation Learning

Aniket Didolkar, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Rabiul Awal +3

Object-centric representation learning aims to decompose visual scenes into fixed-size vectors called "slots" or "object files", where each slot captures a distinct object. Current…

SENSEI: Semantic Exploration Guided by Foundation Models to Learn Versatile World Models

Cansu Sancaktar, Christian Gumbsch, Andrii Zadaianchuk +2

Exploration is a cornerstone of reinforcement learning (RL). Intrinsic motivation attempts to decouple exploration from external, task-based rewards. However, established approache…

Dream to Manipulate: Compositional World Models Empowering Robot Imitation Learning with Imagination

Leonardo Barcellona, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Davide Allegro +3

A world model provides an agent with a representation of its environment, enabling it to predict the causal consequences of its actions. Current world models typically cannot direc…

Temporally Consistent Object-Centric Learning by Contrasting Slots

Anna Manasyan, Maximilian Seitzer, Filip Radovic +2

Unsupervised object-centric learning from videos is a promising approach to extract structured representations from large, unlabeled collections of videos. To support downstream ta…

Zero-Shot Object-Centric Representation Learning

Aniket Didolkar, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Anirudh Goyal +4

The goal of object-centric representation learning is to decompose visual scenes into a structured representation that isolates the entities. Recent successes have shown that objec…

Object-Centric Learning for Real-World Videos by Predicting Temporal Feature Similarities

Andrii Zadaianchuk, Maximilian Seitzer, Georg Martius

Unsupervised video-based object-centric learning is a promising avenue to learn structured representations from large, unlabeled video collections, but previous approaches have onl…

Bridging the Gap to Real-World Object-Centric Learning

Maximilian Seitzer, Max Horn, Andrii Zadaianchuk +8

Humans naturally decompose their environment into entities at the appropriate level of abstraction to act in the world. Allowing machine learning algorithms to derive this decompos…

Self-supervised Visual Reinforcement Learning with Object-centric Representations

Andrii Zadaianchuk, Maximilian Seitzer, Georg Martius

Autonomous agents need large repertoires of skills to act reasonably on new tasks that they have not seen before. However, acquiring these skills using only a stream of high-dimens…
