A Spotlight on Snap Research at CVPR 2022

Snap’s Research team is kicking off the week in New Orleans at the 2022 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference. This year at CVPR, our team will share seven new academic papers, alongside the world’s leading researchers, that show breakthroughs across image, video, object synthesis and object manipulation methods.
Snap’s Research team is kicking off the week in New Orleans at the 2022 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference. This year at CVPR, our team will share seven new academic papers, alongside the world’s leading researchers, that show breakthroughs across image, video, object synthesis and object manipulation methods.
We’ve worked closely with interns and external academic institutions on this work to make significant gains in video synthesis technology. These developments can ultimately inform what we bring to our community of Snapchatters around the world. 
The work presented in our papers is based on the following developments: Our team has built implicit video representations, resulting in state-of-the-art video synthesis on a variety of tasks, while maintaining modest computational requirements. We then introduce two new problems in the domain: multimodal video synthesis and playable environments.
For example, the CLIP-NeRF paper was a collaborative research effort to study the manipulation of Neural Radiance fields. Neural Radiance fields make it possible to render objects using neural networks, without needing sophisticated graphics pipelines. Findings from this work can help inform improvements to the ways digital assets are created for use in augmented reality experiences. And, this PartGlot paper explores how machines can better understand shapes and objects around us using language models.
We’re excited about the potential of this work to unlock the creativity of our community and creators across our products and platforms in the future.
