Researchers develop system cat’s eye-inspired vision for autonomous robotics

Researchers have unveiled a vision system inspired by feline eyes to enhance object detection in various lighting conditions. Featuring a unique shape and reflective surface, the system reduces glare in bright environments and boosts sensitivity in low-light scenarios. By filtering unnecessary details, this technology significantly improves the performance of single-lens cameras, representing a notable advancement …

Progressive Entropic Optimal Transport Solvers

Optimal transport (OT) has profoundly impacted machine learning by providing theoretical and computational tools to realign datasets. In this context, given two large point clouds of sizes nnn and mmm in Rdmathbb{R}^dRd, entropic OT (EOT) solvers have emerged as the most reliable tool to either solve the Kantorovich problem and output a n×mntimes mn×m coupling …

Fine-tuning Gemma, the journey from beginning to end

Chatbots are one of the more common, early use cases for generative AI, particularly in retail organizations. To make them useful for shoppers, a chatbot needs to be contextually sensitive to a retailer’s product catalog, with the ability to respond to customer inquiries conversationally, perhaps suggesting alternatives and complementary outfits. To accomplish this, an instruction-tuned …
