Virtual Human Lab is a research initiative by Couger Inc. that explores the creation of virtual human agents by integrating machine learning, brain science, and game AI. The lab publicly shares portions of its research, including advanced AI models like SmolDocling for document understanding and projects on offensive text detection, decision-making using multimodal LLMs, and demosaicing techniques for imaging. The lab also engages in philosophical discussions on consciousness and AI embodiment, presented through blog posts and podcasts. It emphasizes creating systems that mimic human-like cognitive processes to benefit society. The lab’s activities are supported by a mix of technical experiments and human-centered design approaches.
