I find it interesting that the perception of the ML community is that @Apple "does not publish" or that it "does not contribute frameworks". Anyways, I'm going to start actively sharing my colleagues works to gently push back on that perception :)

In GAUDI we don’t rely on a pre-trained text-to-image model and design a generative model for 3D indoor scenes from the ground up . It’s only a matter of time until similar models can be trained on internet scale 3D datasets.

Learning latents for radiance fields and camera poses is critical. As opposed to single objects (which can always be rendered from cameras on the sphere), the set of valid camera poses depends on each scene. Therefore, we need to encode which camera poses are valid for each scene

In order to model radiance fields for unconstrained scenes we decompose them into many small locally conditioned radiance fields which are conditioned on a latent spatial representation of a scene W.
