Title: On generating image and video hallucinations

Abstract: “Hallucination” is a term used in the AI community to describe the plausible falsehoods produced by deep generative neural networks. It is often considered a negative, especially in relation with large language models or medical image reconstruction. Yet, in many computational photography applications, we rely on such hallucinations to create pleasing images. It often does not matter if all (or any) information was present in the real world if the produced falsehoods are visually plausible.

Starting from that premise, I will present our recent work on hallucinations in image reconstruction, image style creation, and texture synthesis, using different generative models such as GANs, diffusion networks, and neural cellular automata. With a nod to the dangers some of these hallucinations might pose, I will also briefly discuss our work on deep fake detection.

Bio: Sabine Süsstrunk is Full Professor and Director of the Image and Visual Representation Lab in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland. Her main research areas are in computational photography, applied machine learning, and computational image quality and aesthetics. Sabine is President of the Swiss Science Council SSC, Founding Member and Member of the Board (MOB) of the EPFL-WISH (Women in Science and Humanities) Foundation, MOB of the SRG SSR (Swiss Radio and Television Corporation) and the Swiss Study Foundation, and Co-Founder and MOB of Largo Films, Ltd. She received the IS&T/SPIE 2013 Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year Award for her contributions to color imaging, computational photography, and image quality, and the 2018 IS&T Raymond C. Bowman and the 2020 EPFL AGEPoly IC Polysphere Awards for excellence in teaching. Sabine is a Fellow of ELLIS, IEEE, and IS&T.

We look forward to seeing you at this webinar.

Best,

Giuseppe
