Overview
About the project
We are living in a 3D world. A broad range of critical applications such as autonomous driving, augmented reality, robotics, medical imaging, and drug discover rely on accurate representation of the three-dimensional data. While enormous efforts have been devoted to images and languages processing, it is still at an early stage to apply deep learning to 3D, despite their great research values. Here, we launch the project of next generation 3D understanding, and want to appeal more young talents like you to make this happen. We are particularly interested in two topics of the next generation 3D understanding: 1) a large-scale pretrained foundation 3D understanding model; 2) a vision generalist model that connects 2D and 3D vision data such as images, point clouds, and RGB-D.
The Next Generation 3d Understanding (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)

- proposing a new large-scale foundation model for 3D understanding;
- proposing self supervision techniques for training large-scale 3D models with limited data;
- proposing novel generalist vision models that are able to tackle both 2D and 3D understanding;
- proposing novel techniques for training this cross-modality generalist vision model.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
