5 天之前 · Teaching AI to communicate sounds like humans do. Inspired by the human vocal tract, a new AI model can produce and understand vocal imitations of everyday sounds. The method could help build new sonic interfaces for entertainment and education. January 9, 2025. Read full story →

2025年1月17日 · Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications. Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds. New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors.

2025年1月15日 · The researchers found that “human–AI systems do not necessarily achieve better results than the best of humans or AI alone,” explains graduate student Michelle Vaccaro and her colleagues. “Challenges such as communication barriers, trust issues, ethical concerns and the need for effective coordination between humans and AI systems can ...

2023年11月9日 · Before the generative AI boom of the past few years, when people talked about AI, typically they were talking about machine-learning models that can learn to make a prediction based on data. For instance, such models are trained, using millions of examples, to predict whether a certain X-ray shows signs of a tumor or if a particular borrower is ...

2024年12月2日 · Researchers developed a fully integrated photonic processor that can perform all the key computations of a deep neural network on a photonic chip, using light. This advance could improve the speed and energy-efficiency of running intensive deep learning models for applications like lidar, astronomical research, and navigation.

2024年3月21日 · A new distribution matching distillation (DMD) technique merges GAN principles with diffusion models, achieving 30x faster high-quality image generation in a single computational step and enhancing tools like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.

2024年11月25日 · They also compared AI-generated images that did not include a physics-based flood model. The team’s physics-reinforced method generated satellite images of future flooding that were more realistic and accurate. The AI-only method, in contrast, generated images of flooding in places where flooding is not physically possible.

Inspired by the mechanics of the human vocal tract, a new AI model can produce and understand vocal imitations of everyday sounds. The system can also be run in reverse to guess real-world sounds from human vocal imitations.The method could help build new sonic interfaces for entertainment and education.

2021年3月10日 · Caption: This figure shows the experimental demonstration of 2D and 3D holographic projection. The left photograph is focused on the mouse toy (in yellow box) closer to the camera, and the right photograph is focused on the perpetual desk calendar (in blue box).

2024年3月8日 · Unlike humans, AI does not have peripheral vision. Equipping computer vision models with this ability could help them detect approaching hazards more effectively or predict whether a human driver would notice an oncoming object.
