Our paper was nominated in the Best Paper Finalist of #ECCV2024. I sincerely thank all co-authors. Our work was also reported by Georgia Tech @ICatGT . My advisor @RehgJim will present it on Oct 2 1:30pm at Oral 4B Session, and Oct 2 4:30pm at #240 of Poster Session.@eccvconf
LEGO can show you how it's done! New @eccvconf work from @bryanislucky, a new generative tool can produce visual images to accompany step-by-step instructions with just a single first-person photo uploaded into the prompt. #wecandothat🐝 @GTResearchNews b.gatech.edu/47RT3bN

Howdy from Nashville, ya'll! 🎸🤠 Check out our stars at #CVPR2025, a top @IEEEorg research venue for computer vision experts presenting their work on how computers interpret the world using image and video data! Tech’s experts will take center stage this week at @CVPR at the Music City Center to share their breakthroughs in computer vision. @GeorgiaTech is in the top 10% of all organizations for first authors and the top 4% for number of papers. More than 2000 organizations have research accepted into the main program. Tech's first authors include Chengyue Huang, Bolin Lai, Fiona Ryan, Andrew Szot, Lifu Wang, Lex Whalen, and Haoran You. @ICatGT faculty represent the majority of faculty in the papers program. Yeehaw! Meet all of our experts now 🔗: sites.gatech.edu/research/#s… #GTComputing #TogetherWeCompute #ChangeTheGame

The full Llama4 will contain 2T parameters. This is quite amazing to learn "billion" is insufficient to describe the scale of LLMs.

Today is the start of a new era of natively multimodal AI innovation. Today, we’re introducing the first Llama 4 models: Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick — our most advanced models yet and the best in their class for multimodality. Llama 4 Scout • 17B-active-parameter model with 16 experts. • Industry-leading context window of 10M tokens. • Outperforms Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite and Mistral 3.1 across a broad range of widely accepted benchmarks. Llama 4 Maverick • 17B-active-parameter model with 128 experts. • Best-in-class image grounding with the ability to align user prompts with relevant visual concepts and anchor model responses to regions in the image. • Outperforms GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely accepted benchmarks. • Achieves comparable results to DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding — at half the active parameters. • Unparalleled performance-to-cost ratio with a chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. These models are our best yet thanks to distillation from Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet. Llama 4 Behemoth is still in training and is currently seeing results that outperform GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on STEM-focused benchmarks. We’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight.

📢#CVPR2025 Introducing InstaManip, a novel multimodal autoregressive model for few-shot image editing. 🎯InstaManip can learn a new image editing operation from textual and visual guidance via in-context learning, and apply it to new query images. [1/8] bolinlai.github.io/projects/…

🔎In addition, when different exemplar image pairs are used with the same textual instruction, InstaManip can capture the different visual patterns and apply them in editing query images. [7/8]

Super excited to be in Milan for #ECCV2024. I have an opening for a Postdoc in my lab at UIUC, in the areas of egocentric computer vision and multimodal foundation models. Message me here or by email, or find me at our 3 posters (and an oral :-)

Our ECCV paper is recognized as oral presentation! Thank all co-authors (@aptx4869ml, Xiaoliang Dai, Lawrence Chen, Guan Pang, @RehgJim ) for your awesome contributions. Our dataset and codes have been released. Project: bolinlai.github.io/Lego_EgoA… Code: github.com/BolinLai/LEGO

While learning new skills, have you ever felt tired of reading the verbose manual or annoyed about the unclear instructions? Check out our #ECCV2024 work on generating egocentric (first-person) visual guidance tailored to the user's situation! [1/7] Page: bolinlai.github.io/Lego_EgoA…
