FineRecon: Depth-aware Feed-forward Network for Detailed 3D Reconstruction

Recent works on 3D reconstruction from posed images have demonstrated that direct inference of scene-level 3D geometry without iterative optimization is feasible using a deep neural network, showing remarkable promise and high efficiency. However, the reconstructed geometries, typically represented as a 3D truncated signed distance function (TSDF), are often coarse without fine geometric details. To …

Curbing Connection Churn in Zuul

By Arthur Gonigberg, Argha C Plaintext Past When Zuul was designed and developed, there was an inherent assumption that connections were effectively free, given we weren’t using mutual TLS (mTLS). It’s built on top of Netty, using event loops for non-blocking execution of requests, one loop per core. To reduce contention among event loops, we created …

Exploring the risks and alternatives of ChatGPT: Paving a path to trustworthy AI

You are making a smoothie for your friends to enjoy. Already mixed with assorted fruit and yogurt, your friend Ruchir arrives with a ripe apple and gives it to you to complete your refreshing masterpiece. Now complete, you can almost still smell the hint of apple as the drink is being poured. Before your first …

Unlocking efficiency: Harnessing the power of Selective Execution in Amazon SageMaker Pipelines

MLOps is a key discipline that often oversees the path to productionizing machine learning (ML) models. It’s natural to focus on a single model that you want to train and deploy. However, in reality, you’ll likely work with dozens or even hundreds of models, and the process may involve multiple complex steps. Therefore, it’s important …

Replit CEO Amjad Masad on Empowering the Next Billion Software Creators

Replit aims to empower the next billion software creators. In this week’s episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, host Noah Kraviz dives into a conversation with Replit CEO Amjad Masad. Masad says the San Francisco-based maker of a software development platform, which came up as a member of NVIDIA’s Inception program for startups, wants to bridge …
