A new AI-driven service called Deep Nostalgia from online genealogy company MyHeritage and using technology licensed from Israeli firm D-ID can animates portrait photos to create passable but fairly creepy fake video clips. It uses pre-recorded driver videos of facial movements and applies the one that best suits the image being manipulated. Users upload a […]
As demand grows for AI solutions that process images from cameras and other photo sensors, more efficient systems are needed. Like NVIDIA and others before it and drawing on its mobile technology developments, chip maker Qualcomm has unveiled an R&D project that reduces the compute power needed to handle visual AI, in turn reducing the […]
Researchers at the University of Trento, the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and Snap, Inc. have devised an AI system that uses a framework they call Clustering for Action Decomposition and DiscoverY (CADDY) to learn a set of discrete actions from a large library of video clips that can be used to create new “playable” videos […]
Gartner estimates that 37% of all organisations are using AI in anger today and predicts that that number will double to 75% by 2024. To maintain its competitive edge using detailed analysis of every aspect of its operations, one large US supermarket chain alone currently generates 2.5 petabytes of data A DAY! AI processes require […]
OpenAI’s latest piece of mind-boggling deep learning wizardry, DALL-E (Dali meets WALL-E, geddit?), is able to create illustrations, photos, renders or any other visual you care to mention just from a description that you provide. For more detail about DALL-E, try this very readable description from Dale Markowitz on The Next Web. GPT-3, for those […]
In an article for Forbes about the march of AI, machine learning and the technology that underpins both, author Stephen McBride refers to NVIDIA as “America’s most important company”. But why? Speed is key to training machine learning models cost effectively, and CPUs process slowly, so GPUs made by NVIDIA and companies like it are […]
