<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The goal of this project is to develop new approaches for visual reasoning that are grounded in learned general-purpose 3D-aware representations. This will involve advancing our understanding of
the state-of-the-art in 3D aware representation learning and developing new methods for injecting 3D priors into visual representation learning algorithms.</span></p>
