Scalable spherical CNNs for scientific applications

Posted by Carlos Esteves and Ameesh Makadia, Research Scientists, Google Research, Athena Team Typical deep learning models for computer vision, like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViT), process signals assuming planar (flat) spaces. For example, digital images are represented as a grid of pixels on a plane. However, this type of data makes …

Generative AI for retail: how to keep pace and get ahead

Generative AI marks a significant technological shift. Like the internet or the mobile phone, its potential impact on individual and business productivity is extraordinary. Indeed, 82% of organizations considering or currently using generative AI believe it will either significantly change or transform their industry (Google Cloud Gen AI Benchmarking Study, July 2023). In retail, the …

Birders and AI push bird conservation to the next level

Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used to model hidden patterns in nature, not just for one bird species, but for entire ecological communities across continents. And the models follow each species’ full annual life cycle, from breeding to fall migration to non-breeding grounds, and back north again during spring migration.

‘Electronic tongue’ holds promise as possible first step to artificial emotional intelligence

Can artificial intelligence (AI) get hungry? Develop a taste for certain foods? Not yet, but a team of Penn State researchers is developing a novel electronic tongue that mimics how taste influences what we eat based on both needs and wants, providing a possible blueprint for AI that processes information more like a human being.

Celebrating one year(ish) of Stable Diffusion … and what a year it’s been! 

On August 22, 2022, Stability AI co-released Stable Diffusion alongside talented researchers from LMU Munich and Runway ML. It was a watershed moment in AI that unlocked the power of text-to-image models. One year later, we’ve grown our team by a factor of four, launched more than twenty new products, and become the only independent, …
