The 36th British Machine Vision Conference 2025: Wednesday, 26th November

Keynote 3 - Angela Dai

09:00 - 10:00

09:00 - 10:00	Title: Can Transformers Speak Geometry? Abstract: What if generating a 3D mesh were as natural as predicting the next word in a sentence? Autoregressive modeling has rapidly become a unifying learning paradigm across data modalities, across language to images, and now offers a compelling approach for 3D geometry. This talk explores how transformer-based autoregressive models enable mesh generation by representing meshes as sequences. Framing mesh generation as a next-token prediction problem enables new ways to handle the compact, irregular structure of human-designed 3D assets, directly compatible with downstream graphics and vision applications. We explore sequence formulation and data representation, and address practical challenges in scaling to high-resolution meshes and interactive synthesis. This will enable more accessible and democratized 3D content creation, paving the way for interactive design, rapid prototyping, and simulation-ready assets, and unlocking new possibilities for both creative and computational exploration of 3D geometry.
