Researchers at OpenAI have been able to train a machine learning model fed with pixel sequences to generate coherent images. This is another step toward understanding and bridging the gap between computer vision and language understanding techniques. Google’s BERT, Facebook’s RoBERTa, and OpenAI’s GPT-3 have made great strides with language tasks, but have hitherto been […]
This new NVIDIA project called StyleGAN2, presented at CVPR 2020, uses transfer learning to generate a seemingly infinite number of portraits in an infinite variety of painting styles. The work builds on the team’s previously published StyleGAN project. This new demo shows how the resulting machine learning training model can be used to create images and fluidly explore […]
Broadcast reports that Brightcove, Nagra (with its NexGuard forensic watermarking system), Akamai and BuyDRM (with its KeyOS multiKey service) are teaming up to offer Academy Awards judges a safe, pirate-unfriendly method watching the films they have been tasked with judging. The system will not only allow the Academy to audit the voting process and content, […]
Premier League football returns to TV Glenn Cummins, an associate professor at Texas Tech University, is making an academic career from something we all instinctively know – everything’s better when it sounds right and making something that doesn’t look or feel quite right sound better goes some way to improving it. For example, when it […]
A team of researchers at Duke University in the US led by computer scientists Cynthia Rudin has successfully used machine learning to convert blurry portrait photos containing just a few dozen pixels into a super high-resolution images. The PULSE (Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration) system works by reverse engineering the image from AI-generated high […]
The checklist covers: Los Angeles county’s department for public health has published a 10 page document outlining the protocols businesses wishing to reopen, including film and TV production companies and studios, must follow. Workplace policies and practices to protect employee health Measures to ensure physical distancing Measures to ensure infection control Communication with employees and […]
