Abstract:
With the goal of general artificial intelligence, we aim to develop an AI agent that is not only capable of multimodal multi-task capabilities but also exhibits emergent and self-evolving abilities in an open-world context. It is a long-term endeavor. We are taking the initial step in studying a foundational model that facilitates flexible input/output formats, transitioning and reasoning seamlessly between multimodal signals while acquiring knowledge from an inherently multimodal world. Starting from the visual modality, the underlying premise to accomplish this goal is to unify visual comprehension and generation tasks within an end-to-end framework. The talk will introduce our explorations this year to achieve the goal, from plugins to unification, from model-centric to data-centric.
