Antonia Wüst@toniwuest.bsky.social · 6mo ago

We are pleased to announce a one-day symposium on AI and Creativity in Darmstadt! Join us for an inspiring lineup of speakers and a full day dedicated to exploring creativity in modern machine learning models and the relationship between biological and artificial creation. 🎨🤖

Excited to share that our paper "Synthesizing Visual Concepts as Vision-Language Programs" has been accepted to #CVPR2026! 🎉 We propose a novel method that combines VLMs with symbolic program synthesis to learn reliable programs of visual concepts. 🌐 ml-research.github.io/vision-langu...

Antonia Wüst@toniwuest.bsky.social · 8mo ago

🚨 New paper alert! We introduce Vision-Language Programs (VLP), a neuro-symbolic framework that combines the perceptual power of VLMs with program synthesis for robust visual reasoning.

Happy new year / frohes neues Jahr

The AI and ML Lab wishes you a joyful holiday season and an insightful start to 2026

🚨 Just one week left to apply! W2 Tenure-track or W3 Tenured professor for Ethical and Safe AI. 🤖 🙏 Please share widely!
