An adaptable approach to assist creatives in enhancing animation.

A ground-breaking method to give animators more control over their work has been introduced by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, represented in a paper by Ana Dodik, the lead author. The technique relies on generating mathematical functions known as 'barycentric coordinates,' which guide how 2D and 3D shapes bend, stretch, and move throughout…

Intricate and unknown phrases put more strain on the brain’s language processing system.

Using an artificial language network, neuroscientists from MIT have identified the type of sentences that most effectively activate the human brain's language processing centres. Their findings, published in Nature Human Behavior, show that the most stimulating sentences are those which are complex due to uncommon words or grammar, or unexpected meanings. Simplistic sentences or nonsensical…

Charting the neural routes associated with visual recall in the brain.

For almost ten years, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have conducted studies to understand why some images are more memorable than others. The team used magnetoencephalography (MEG), which records timing of brain activity, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which identifies active brain regions, to discern when and where in…

Understanding OCR Technology and Its Potential Benefits for Your Marketing Strategies

OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that can convert images of text into a format that is machine-readable. This technology is being largely adopted in various sectors, including health, where it is used to process various medical records. The application of OCR, however, isn't limited to just healthcare and can be effectively leveraged…

Blink: A Fresh Multimodal LLM Standard that Assesses Fundamental Visual Perception Skills not Detected in Current Evaluations

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, University of Washington, Allen Institute for AI, University of California, and Columbia University have developed a novel benchmark study for evaluating core visual perception abilities in multimodal large language models (LLMs), called 'Blink.' The study suggests that current methods of evaluating LLMs conflate perception with linguistic understanding and reasoning.…

Researchers from Nota AI have unveiled the LD-Pruner, an innovative, structured pruning technique that maintains performance while reducing the size of Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs).

Generative models are key tools in various sectors, such as computer vision and natural language processing, due to their ability to generate samples from learning data distributions. Among these, Diffusion Models (DMs) and particularly Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) are favored for their high-quality image output, speed of generation, and reduced computational cost. Despite these advantages,…
