With new and ever larger multimodal models being announced seemingly every week, it can be hard to keep up with the latest developments in computer vision and machine learning. Dr. Serge Belongie, a professor of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen, the head of the Danish Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence and LDV Capital Expert in Residence, provided a brief overview of some of the key concepts behind these advances, including autoregressive next token prediction, diffusion models, agentic AI and physics engines.
Serge Belongie earned a B.S. in EE from Caltech (1995) and a Ph.D. in EECS from Berkeley (2000). He was a professor of Computer Science at UC San Diego (2001–2013) and co-founded Digital Persona (the first mass-market fingerprint ID device), Anchovi Labs (acquired by Dropbox), and Orpix (an image recognition framework). He was named to MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 in 2004 and has received multiple honors, including the Marr Prize Honorable Mention (2007), ICCV Helmholtz Prize (2015), NSF CAREER Award, and Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. Serge has played a key role in organizing our Annual Summit since 2014.
