Professor Junmo Kim’s research team from our department has garnered funding for 2024 SW Star Lab project under the Information and Communication Broadcasting Technology Development Program, administered by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP).
The SW Star Lab project aims to secure world-class original technology in five core SW domains (‘Big Data’, ‘Cloud’, ‘Algorithm’, ‘Application SW’, and ‘Artificial Intelligence’) and to cultivate master’s and doctoral-level SW talent. Selected research teams receive funding of approximately 1.5 billion won (about 200 million won annually) over an eight-year period.
Professor Junmo Kim’s research team proposed a project titled “Developing Sustainable, Real-Time Generative AI for Multimodal Interaction” in the ‘Artificial Intelligence’ domain.
This project seeks to overcome the limitations of current 2D-based image/video generation models through the development of 3D-based image/video generation model. The research focuses on developing image/video generation model capable of understanding objects as complete entities rather than from specific(fixed) viewpoint, enabling more realistic object generation and movement representation.
Furthermore, the proposal extends beyond simple generation models to include understanding multimodal inputs and restricting harmful content, aiming to develop technology that generates content with a deep comprehension of societal and economic implications.
This project is expected to create synergies by collaborating with the Vision-Centered Artificial General Intelligence (ViC-AGI) Lab, led by Professor In So Kweon from our department, which has been designated as KAIST Cross-Generation Collaborative Lab.
