?? The Corso Group at the University of Michigan is Recruiting PhD Students! ??Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI, machine learning, and computer vision? Does the lack of fundamental understanding about how data distributions lead to certain properties in the resulting model nag at you? Are you driven to improve how AI and Humans naturally collaborate in the physical world?The Corso Group (COG) at the University of Michigan is recruiting 2-3 talented, self-motivated, and creative PhD students for the 2024-2025 academic year.Led by Prof. Jason Corso, COG has been pioneering advances in physical AI and visual AI for the last two decades. We've contributed seminal work in areas such as machine learning foundations, video understanding (including the first paper on video captioning), human-in-the-loop computer vision, and interactive physical systems.?? Current Research Areas:- Human+AI collaboration to solve real-world challenges in the 3D world, including rural healthcare and mechanics (e.g., DARPA PTG program where I'm the PI: DARPA PTG https://lnkd.in/e3e_FtAB, DARPA News https://lnkd.in/eBa6yM8S).- Foundational machine learning: understanding the relationship between data, datasets, embeddings and models; enforcing certain structure during model learning to enforce problem-relevant properties; adaptive learning through self-guided inquiry with no labeling.- Procedural and instructional computer vision in goal-oriented physical AI.- Bridging the sim2real gap.…and many more exciting challenges!?? We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, races, genders, identities, ages, and degrees, both domestic and international. Students can be recruited through CSE, ECE, and ROB PhD programs.?? Interested?Submit your interest by completing this form by Dec. 1. https://lnkd.in/gAebFWve??
