We evaluate candidates based on their intuitions around the state-of-the-art in the use of AI for creative applications. This usually involves a few publications at top-conferences (ICML, CVPR, NeurIPS, ...), but it is technically not required since we think many of the best applied researchers are often self-taught and even found outside traditional research institutions.
A company of 6 engineers making a new type of creative tool. Older creative tools wrapped computer graphics advances into a performant controllable user interface (e.g. brightness, hue, saturation, etc.) and we think modern tools should do the same for the latest AI research (e.g. diffusion models).
