<p>What does it take for AI-generated images and videos to do more than simply look real? In this episode, we speak with Ziqi Huang, a Ph.D. candidate at NTU’s MMLab, about her research on making generative AI more controllable, reliable, and aligned with human understanding. She introduces ReVersion, which helps diffusion models learn relationships between objects; VBench and VBench++, which evaluate video-generation models across multiple human-aligned dimensions; and VChain, which enables models to reason through visual steps before generating a final video. We also discuss why realistic-looking outputs can still violate physics or common sense, how generative models could support robotics and physical AI, and Ziqi’s journey from an undergraduate interested in art and technology to an award-winning AI researcher.</p>

<p>In this episode, we sit down with Kethmi Hettige, a Ph.D. candidate in Computing and Data Science at NTU, whose research focuses on spatial-temporal prediction and reasoning. Kethmi shares how her work combines AI, graph neural networks, physics-guided learning, and large language models to tackle real-world challenges such as air quality prediction, traffic forecasting, and environmental monitoring. We explore her research contributions, including the importance of interpretable and trustworthy AI systems, and integration of scientific knowledge into machine learning models. Beyond the technical discussion, Kethmi also reflects on her experiences throughout the Ph.D. journey.</p>

<p>How do we measure the value of a smile? Dr. Hilary Ma joins us to discuss her research on participatory arts and the aging experience. From the galleries of the National Museum to the heart of Singapore's neighborhoods, learn how her initiative, Project ARTISAN, uses intergenerational storytelling to combat loneliness and build resilience in seniors. It’s a story of art, heritage, and the powerful "kampong spirit" that emerges when we create together.</p>
