NVIDIA is preparing to present what it learned to advance generative AI and neural graphics to the next level.
The popular tech giant recently announced it plans to present a handful of research papers at SIGGRAPH 2023, the premier computer graphics conference, to contribute to the advancement of generative AI tools and neural graphics.
SIGGRAPH 2023 is scheduled to launch on Aug. 6 through Aug. 10 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in the city of Los Angeles, California, per the event's official website and FAQ.
U.S. chipmaker NVIDIA recently announced it is investigating a potential cyberattack after two days of outage.
NVIDIA Generative AI Research Papers Details
NVIDIA mentioned in its announcement that it intends to present 20 new research papers that were made in collaboration with over a dozen universities in the U.S., Europe, and Israel to contribute to advancing generative AI and neural graphics.
Venture Beat mentioned in an article that NVIDIA has been researching how to improve and advance computer graphics for some time to help bring film-style rendering to video games. One of the results of its research is NVIDIA's Cyberpunk 2077 Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, which brings the technology preview of Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode for high-end PCs, per Cyberpunk 2077's official website.
NVIDIA mentioned that it collaborated with researchers from Tel Aviv University to author two of the 20 research papers to address how to advance generative AI models that transform text prompts into images. One of them describes a technique that needs a single example image to customize its output that accelerates the personalization process to around 11 seconds on a single NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU.
Meanwhile, the other introduces a highly compact model called Perfusion, which allows users to combine multiple personalized elements into a single AI-generated visual.

NVIDIA also worked with researchers at the University of California, San Diego to write its third research paper about tech that can generate and render a photorealistic 3D head-and-shoulders model based on a single 2D portrait, If studied further, NVIDIA claims it would be a major breakthrough that can make 3D avatar creation and 3D videoconferencing accessible with AI.
Its fourth research paper, written in collaboration with Stanford University researchers, aims to bring a lifelike motion to 3D characters through an AI system that can learn a range of tennis skills from 2D video recordings of real tennis matches and apply what it learned to 3D characters.
NVIDIA will reveal more information about its research papers - some tackling neural rendering models that unlock new capabilities for generating real-time, AI-powered visual details - during SIGGRAPH 2023.
What Is SIGGRAPH?
The SIGGRAPH conferences, or Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, are events that celebrate computer graphics excellence. These events are only held in two locations in the world: one in North America and one in Asia, per SIGGRAPH's official website.
Many computer graphics professionals worldwide attend the event due to the presentations of new computer graphics technology and research - one of the event's highlights.
