Performing these tasks typically requires high-end robots, accurate sensors, or... Pretrained Language Models as Visual Planners for Human Assistance To make progress towards multi-modal AI assistants which can guide users to achieve complex multi-step goals, we propose the task of Visual Planning for Assistance (VPA). Given a goal briefly described in natural language, e.g., "make a shelf", and a video of the user's progress so far, the aim of... Generative Disco: Text-to-Video Generation for Music Visualization Visuals are a core part of our experience of music, owing to the way they can amplify the emotions and messages conveyed through the music. However, creating music visualization is a complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process. We introduce Generative Disco, a generative AI system that...
