ECCV 2026 (Malmo, Sept 8) will feature a tutorial titled "From Perception to Simulation: The Emergence of World Models in Multi-modal Reasoning," with Tolga Birdal speaking 15:00-15:40.
The tutorial examines how world models are evolving from passive perception systems into engines for simulation, reasoning, and planning, covering:
- Recent advances in generative modeling, self-supervised learning, and multimodal architectures
- Learning dynamics from visual/multimodal data, integrated with planning and reasoning
- Connections between video generation, diffusion models, discrete representations, and embodied AI
- Open challenges: grounding, causality, physical consistency, and evaluation
Aimed at researchers, practitioners, and students, with invited talks and conceptual plus practical perspectives.
