CtrlNeRF: The Generative Neural Radiation Fields for the Controllable Synthesis of High-fidelity 3D-Aware Images
The neural radiance field (NERF) advocates learning the continuous representation of 3D geometry through a multilayer perceptron (MLP). By integrating this into a generative model, the generative neural radiance field (GRAF) is capable of producing images from random noise z without 3D supervision. In practice, the shape and appearance are modeled by z_s and z_a, respectively, to manipulate them separately during inference. However, it is challenging to represent multiple scenes using a solitary MLP and precisely control the generation of 3D geometry in terms of shape and appearance. In this paper, we introduce a controllable generative model (i.e. \textbf{CtrlNeRF}) that uses a single MLP network to represent multiple scenes with shared weights. Consequently, we manipulated the shape and appearance codes to realize the controllable generation of high-fidelity images with 3D consistency. Moreover, the model enables the synthesis of novel views that do not exist in the training sets via camera pose alteration and feature interpolation. Extensive experiments were conducted to demonstrate its superiority in 3D-aware image generation compared to its counterparts.
$C^{3}$-NeRF: Modeling Multiple Scenes via Conditional-cum-Continual Neural Radiance Fields
Singh, Prajwal, Tiwari, Ashish, Vashishtha, Gautam, Raman, Shanmuganathan
Neural radiance fields (NeRF) have exhibited highly photorealistic rendering of novel views through per-scene optimization over a single 3D scene. With the growing popularity of NeRF and its variants, they have become ubiquitous and have been identified as efficient 3D resources. However, they are still far from being scalable since a separate model needs to be stored for each scene, and the training time increases linearly with every newly added scene. Surprisingly, the idea of encoding multiple 3D scenes into a single NeRF model is heavily under-explored. In this work, we propose a novel conditional-cum-continual framework, called $C^{3}$-NeRF, to accommodate multiple scenes into the parameters of a single neural radiance field. Unlike conventional approaches that leverage feature extractors and pre-trained priors for scene conditioning, we use simple pseudo-scene labels to model multiple scenes in NeRF. Interestingly, we observe the framework is also inherently continual (via generative replay) with minimal, if not no, forgetting of the previously learned scenes. Consequently, the proposed framework adapts to multiple new scenes without necessarily accessing the old data. Through extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluation using synthetic and real datasets, we demonstrate the inherent capacity of the NeRF model to accommodate multiple scenes with high-quality novel-view renderings without adding additional parameters. We provide implementation details and dynamic visualizations of our results in the supplementary file.
In-Cabin Visual Perception in Autonomous Driving
The in-cabin visual perception has entered a period of high prosperity. The market demand is also gradually extending from the early simple face recognition and driver fatigue warning to the monitoring of a larger area in the cabin. According to public data forecasts, the global automotive CIS market will reach US$3.244 billion in 2027, of which the CIS market for in-cabin imaging systems will grow from US$209 million in 2021 to US$571 million in 2027, with a very broad development space . The use of visual perception technology can improve the user's driving experience. Through face recognition, the smart cockpit can verify the driver's identity and switch the personalized central control interface and multimedia settings according to the driver's identity.

Click through rate(CTR) prediction is a core task in advertising systems. The booming e-commerce business in our company, results in a growing number of scenes. Most of them are so-called long-tail scenes, which means that the traffic of a single scene is limited, but the overall traffic is considerable. Typical studies mainly focus on serving a single scene with a well designed model. However, this method brings excessive resource consumption both on offline training and online serving. Besides, simply training a single model with data from multiple scenes ignores the characteristics of their own. To address these challenges, we propose a novel but practical model named Domain-Aware Deep Neural Network(DADNN) by serving multiple scenes with only one model. Specifically, shared bottom block among all scenes is applied to learn a common representation, while domain-specific heads maintain the characteristics of every scene. Besides, knowledge transfer is introduced to enhance the opportunity of knowledge sharing among different scenes. In this paper, we study two instances of DADNN where its shared bottom block is multilayer perceptron(MLP) and Multi-gate Mixture-of-Experts(MMoE) respectively, for which we denote as DADNN-MLP and DADNN-MMoE.Comprehensive offline experiments on a real production dataset from our company show that DADNN outperforms several state-of-the-art methods for multi-scene CTR prediction. Extensive online A/B tests reveal that DADNN-MLP contributes up to 6.7% CTR and 3.0% CPM(Cost Per Mille) promotion compared with a well-engineered DCN model. Furthermore, DADNN-MMoE outperforms DADNN-MLP with a relative improvement of 2.2% and 2.7% on CTR and CPM respectively. More importantly, DADNN utilizes a single model for multiple scenes which saves a lot of offline training and online serving resources.
