Research Areas
Vision & Animation
Vision & animation technology generates visual assets or objects in 2D or 3D form. Our focus in this field is to interpret and understand images or videos, then convert them into various formats for application.
For example, we study domains such as video-to-motion — where we build 3D models from 2D images or transfer human movement in a video to a target object — or lip-syncing, where we generate lip animations that correspond to the input text.
KRAFTON AI’s goal is to use these studies to streamline processes that require designers or animators to execute them manually, while at the same time maintaining realistic quality.
Multi-modal Learning
Voice Synthesis
Reinforcement Learning
Language Model
Data-centric AI
Data-centric AI focus on the quality of data used to enhance model performance. We study data management strategies surrounding data collection, processing, labeling, augmentation, and other processes that play an important role in building high-quality datasets.
For example, we study whether it is possible to achieve the same level of performance with less data or what type of data we would need to supplement for improved model performance.
Data-centric research based on deep learning enables AI models to make more accurate and powerful predictions. This field contributes to improving the reliability and fairness of AIs and is crucial in establishing a long-term direction and foundation for research organizations.
Application
Virtual Friend
We create agents in various forms of friends who can play games with users like you. Those agents can understand the current situation in the game, chat, and play with you.
Singing Voice Synthesis
We create songs by applying the unique voice and pitch of the character to the melody and lyrics. We have produced a song for ANA, one of KRAFTON’s Virtual Humans.
3D Avatar Generation
We can generate 3D avatars trained in specific styles using photos of actual people as input. We can also create new styles by adding data.
In-house Application
We create various tools that can help with game development and distribute them throughout KRAFTON. In this process, we aim to discover the potential to bring innovation to the gaming industry as a whole.
