Researchers teach AI to spot what you’re sketching
A new way to teach artificial intelligence (AI) to understand human line drawings — even from non-artists — has been developed.
Researchers leverage shadows to model 3D scenes, including objects blocked from view
Imagine driving through a tunnel in an autonomous vehicle, but unbeknownst to you, a crash has stopped traffic up ahead. Normally, you’d need to rely on the car in front of you to know you should start braking. But what if your vehicle could see around the car ahead and apply the brakes even sooner?
5 Free Courses on Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a subfield of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with its environment rather than relying solely on pre-existing data. It is an area that blends trial-and-error learning with feedback from actions to improve future performance. In this blog, we will explore 5 free courses that I …
Training Stable Diffusion with Dreambooth
Stable Diffusion is trained on LAION-5B, a large-scale dataset comprising billions of general image-text pairs. However, it falls short of comprehending specific subjects and their generation in various contexts (often blurry, obscure, or nonsensical). To address this problem, fine-tuning the model for specific use cases becomes crucial. There are two important fine-tuning techniques for stable …

Hypernetworks for Personalizing ASR to Atypical Speech
*Equal Contributors Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) for personalizing automatic speech recognition (ASR) has recently shown promise for adapting general population models to atypical speech. However, these approaches assume a priori knowledge of the atypical speech disorder being adapted for — the diagnosis of which requires expert knowledge that is not always available. Even given this knowledge, …
