It can separate specific sounds from complex audio mixtures based on natural language descriptions, visual cues from video, or time spans. https://ai.meta.com/samaudio/ https://huggingface.co/collections/facebook/sam-audio https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam-audio submitted by /u/fruesome [link] [comments]
GIE-Bench: Towards Grounded Evaluation for Text-Guided Image Editing
Editing images using natural language instructions has become a natural and expressive way to modify visual content; yet, evaluating the performance of such models remains challenging. Existing evaluation approaches often rely on image-text similarity metrics like CLIP, which lack precision. In this work, we introduce a new benchmark designed to evaluate text-guided image editing models …
