[CMU AI Seminar] Feb 15 at 12pm (Zoom) -- Christian Theobalt (Max Planck Institute for Informatics) -- Neural Methods for Reconstruction and Rendering of Real World Scenes -- AI Seminar sponsored by Morgan Stanley

[Asher Trockman]

Hi all,

Just a reminder that the CMU AI Seminar <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aiseminar/> is
tomorrow *12pm-1pm*:
https://cmu.zoom.us/j/99510233317?pwd=ZGx4aExNZ1FNaGY4SHI3Qlh0YjNWUT09.

Professor *Christian Theobalt (Max Planck Institute for Informatics)* will
be sharing his research on new neural rendering approaches.

Thanks,
Asher
