Our group investigates foundational research problems that enable artificial intelligence (AI) systems to become a reliable component of our everyday lives.
The most important limitation of current AI systems is that they fail to give reliable predictions in unseen or adverse conditions. For example, computer vision systems are unreliable when objects are partially occluded, seen in an unusual pose or context, or in bad weather. This lack of robustness in AI systems is generally acknowledged but largely remains unsolved. Our working hypothesis is that AI models need to develop a causal generative understanding of our world to become a truly reliable component of our everyday lives.
