CANCELED: From Segment Anything to Generalized Visual Grounding

In this tutorial, members of the AI team at Meta and its academic partners will overview the latest research on visual grounding. We will cover each building block necessary to move toward future general purpose visual grounding systems, including universal image and video encoding, multimodal language understanding, semantic instance segmentation and tracking, and more. We will provide practical guidance on using SAM open source models, resources, and tooling to tackle the field's biggest open research problems. A new suite of SAM systems to be released this year will provide a foundation for our tutorial, offering practical entry points for each course component.
