Back in December 2019 – and how long ago does that feel now? – Robert Downey Jnr. fronted a series of YouTube Originals videos, ”The Age of A.I’., on the origins and development of artificial intelligence and its applications. Episode 1; How Far Is Too Far? The first episode in the series begins in the […]
A deeply creepy film that first emerged during the latter part of 2019 and that was due to receive wide exposure at this year’s now postponed of cancelled film festivals is gaining wider exposure In Event of Moon Disaster uses deep fakes to reimagine the Apollo 11 moon landing as a disastrous mission that cost […]
Working in partnership with ETH Zurich, Disney Research has made a significant technical breakthrough by devising a fully automated, neural network-based face-swapping method that can be used for, for example, changing the age of an actor, incorporating a deceased actor into a scene or for when a stunt double is required. When a face swap […]
As has been mentioned here previously, if restless creative minds are allowed too much time and unfettered access to digital technology, especially machine learning tools, things can get weird quite quickly. Wag Denis Malimonov, whose aim is to popularise the creation of art using machine learning, fed the PULSE (Photo Upsampling Via Latent Space Exploration) […]
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 […]
