Using OpenPose with Stable Diffusion
We have just learned about ControlNet. Now, let’s explore the most effective way to control your character based on human pose. OpenPose is a great tool that can detect body keypoint locations in images and video. By integrating OpenPose with Stable Diffusion, we can guide the AI in generating images that match specific poses. In …
Exciting Changes Ahead: Big Update
We have a very big and exciting update to share with you. Over the past few months, I have been publishing many of my AI insights and experiments on Substack. One of the things that LLMs are exposing is the role that psychology and bias play in creating and interpreting information. Information isn’t passive. It’s some …

Conformal Prediction via Regression-as-Classification
Conformal prediction (CP) for regression can be challenging, especially when the output distribution is heteroscedastic, multimodal, or skewed. Some of the issues can be addressed by estimating a distribution over the output, but in reality, such approaches can be sensitive to estimation error and yield unstable intervals. Here, we circumvent the challenges by converting regression …

What you need to know about the CCPA rules on AI and automated decision-making technology
In November 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a set of draft regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making technology (ADMT). The proposed rules are still in development, but organizations may want to pay close attention to their evolution. Because the state is home to many of the world’s …
Simplifying data modeling and schema generation in BigQuery using multi-modal LLMs
The intricate hierarchical data structures in data warehouses and lakes sourced from diverse origins can make data modeling a protracted and error-prone process. To quickly adapt and create data models that meet evolving business requirements without having to rework them excessively, you need data models that are flexible, modular and adaptable enough to accommodate many …
