Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable level of advancements and appeal, with its moral implications being widely discussed. However, there are several AI technologies in the filmmaking sector that offer unique capabilities beyond creating entertaining content. Here, we discuss some of these tools that help filmmakers streamline their workflow and save…
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have remarkable capabilities when trained on natural data. Regardless of exact initialization, dataset, or training objective, neural networks trained on the same data domain tend to converge to similar patterns. For different image models, the initial layer weights typically converge to Gabor filters and color-contrast detectors, underlying a sort of "universal"…
Google has unveiled PaliGemma, a latest family of vision language models. These innovative models work by receiving both an image and text inputs, and generating text as output. The architecture of PaliGemma comprises of two components: an image encoder named SigLIP-So400m, and a text decoder dubbed Gemma-2B. SigLIP, which has the ability to understand both…
Google's latest innovation, a new family of vision language models called PaliGemma, is capable of producing text by receiving an image and a text input. Its architecture comprises the text decoder Gemma-2B and the image encoder SigLIP-So400m, which is also a model capable of understanding both text and visuals. On image-text data, the combined PaliGemma…
Hector (Haofeng) Xu, after years of studying aviation and aerospace engineering, elected to develop a safer form of helicopter flight following several nerve-wracking experiences in the air. In 2021, he formed Rotor Technologies, Inc., an autonomous helicopter firm dedicated to making the routine missions of small aircraft safer through advanced technology. The company retrofits existing…
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have found a solution to an issue that causes machine-learning model-run chatbots to malfunction during long, continuous dialogues. They found that significant delays or crashes happen when the key-value cache, essentially the conversation memory, becomes overloaded leading to early data being ejected and the model to fail. The researchers…
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence into various industries has led to several developments, including the field of arts. One of the key advancements is the Midjourney AI, a tool launched in July 2022 by the San Francisco-based independent research lab Midjourney Inc. The company, founded by David Holz, the CTO of Leap Motion, has…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) relies on broad data sets sourced from numerous global internet resources to power algorithms that shape various aspects of our lives. However, there are challenges in maintaining data integrity and ethical standards, as the data often lacks proper documentation and vetting. The core issue is the absence of robust systems to guarantee…
