“For example, in this case, what we do is we literally took one of the videos from the last side and we put this video into our three D reconstruction pipeline. And it turns out that it is able to reconstruct a three D scene at this direction quite reasonably well. So the pipeline was quite simple. We take some image. And then we convert that image to a video, and then we put the image video into a reconstruction. And it turns out that it was pretty, pretty consistent.”

“But what's really surprising about Dream Machine is that we almost did nothing with regards to these NERF datasets or have zero, three D priors into how the model works. But the model just by itself learns to kind of uncover these interesting physical aspects …”

“Even though we haven't really asked the model to do anything about it, the model is able to reason about the second shot being a cut of the first shot that happens to have the same things in the first shot. So this is curse definitely some kind of a non-trivia…”
Song: Strict Physics Simulation Cannot Solve Fictional or Artistic Video Generation
