Neuromation at the LDV Vision Summit

On May 22–23, Neuromation had the honor of taking part in one of the most interesting interdisciplinary gatherings in computer vision and graphics: the LDV Vision Summit, hosted by the LDV Capital foundation. Members of our team in attendance included CTO Artyom Astafurov, CRO Sergey Nikolenko, Head of Product Matthew Moore, and VP Digital Economy Arthur McCallum.

Neuromation’s Chief Research Officer Sergey Nikolenko participated in a panel titled “Synthetic Media Will Disrupt or Empower Media & Technology Giants” about the role of synthetic data in artificial intelligence. The panel discussed key applications of synthetic data and achieved consensus regarding the growing importance of synthetic data in AI as well as the increasing role that synthetic media will play in the future.

One of the key features of the event was that it was truly cross-disciplinary: our team had the pleasure of meeting professionals from AI startups specializing in computer vision and computer graphics, media companies, news outlets, and investors who saw many promising startups at the event. Neuromation is always happy to visit and support important interdisciplinary events. After all, we can only make the future of AI together. Big thanks to the organizers, in particular Evan Nisselson, LDV General Partner, and Abigail Hunter-Syed, LDV VP of Operations; it was their conference more than anyone else’s.

Interestingly, panel discussions at the LDV Vision Summit were accompanied by live illustrations: a hired artist was doodling along as the participants spoke. It looked very cool in the process, and here is what the result looked like for the synthetic data panel.
