Navigating Research: Strategies and Mindsets

Vincent Sitzmann (Google Scholar) (Website) is a postdoc at MIT. His work is on neural scene representations in computer vision.  Ultimately, he wants to make representations that AI agents can use to solve the same visual tasks humans solve regularly, but that are currently impossible for AI.

**Highlights from our conversation:**

👁 “Vision is about the question of building representations”

🧠 “We (humans) likely have a 3D inductive bias”

🤖 “All computer vision should be 3D computer vision.  Our world is a 3d world.”
