Visualization

This student-run event is the 33rd-annual showcase of Visualization students’ work from the past year, including a gallery exhibition of physical works and a screening of time-based works.

“Floriography” is a multidisciplinary performance featuring live music, dance, projection, robotics and interactive installations. The program includes works for violin, marimba and electronics, alongside student- and faculty-created visual and spatial designs from the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts and the College of Engineering.

As autonomous driving systems evolve, the shift from standard vision-language models to vision-language-action (VLA) architectures marks a critical milestone by integrating "action" as a core modality. However, despite their potential, current VLA models are heavily bottlenecked by their reliance on massive dataset collection and expensive, dense reasoning annotations. This talk explores this multimodal evolution and presents NoRD, a novel, data-efficient VLA model that achieves competitive end-to-end driving performance without relying on reasoning overhead.
