After Google and Microsoft, Opera jumps in the AI race

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

Opera announced a new feature that will be added to its browser’s sidebar. Called ‘shorten’, the tool is a ChatGPT-powered tool that can be used to generate summaries of webpages and articles. The blog also displays a short demo video that gives us a glimpse of how ChatGPT will be integrated in the browser.

Song Lin, Co-CEO of Opera, said in the blog post, “In more than 25 years of our company’s history, we have always been at the forefront of browser innovation. Whether inventing browser tabs or providing our users with built-in access to generative AI tools, we always push the limits of what’s possible on the web. Following the mass interest in generative AI tools, we believe it’s now time for browsers to step up and become the gateway to an AI-powered web”.

ChatGPT effect: Alibaba group to also debut a chatbot soon

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

ChatGPT, Open AI’s conversational chatbot, is currently one of the most popular tools on the internet. Designed to assist in tasks ranging from summarizing information to generating some of its own, the chatbot has trumped the likes of Tiktok and Instagram regarding daily active users. Microsoft hopes to cash into this rush by powering its Bing search engine with an advanced version of the GPT, the learning language model that runs the chatbot.

Alilbaba to launch ChatGPT rival too

Such has been the craze of ChatGPT that no tech company wants to be left out of this race. After years of hyped-up AI talk, something tangible has emerged and has the potential to knock Google off its perch or at least drastically change how it conducts its business.

Mark Zuckerberg demos a tool for building virtual worlds using voice commands

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, today showed off a prototype of an AI system that enables people to generate or import things into a virtual world just by using voice commands. The company sees the tool, which is called “Builder Bot,” as an “exploratory concept” that shows AI’s potential for creating new worlds in the metaverse. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the prototype at the Meta AI: Inside the Lab event on Wednesday in a pre-recorded demo video.

In the video, Zuckerberg explained the process of building parts of a virtual world by describing them. He begins with the prompt, “let’s go to a park.” The bot then creates a 3D landscape of a park with green grass and trees. Zuckerberg then says “actually, let’s go to the beach,” after which the bot replaces the current landscape with a new one of sand and water. He then says he wants to add clouds and notes that everything is AI-generated. Zuckerberg then changes up the landscape by saying he’d rather have altocumulus clouds, which is meant to demonstrate how specific the voice commands can be.

Runway Researchers Unveil Gen-1: A New Generative AI Model That Uses Language And Images To Generate New Videos Out of Existing Ones

Posted by in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI

The current media environment is filled with visual effects and video editing. As a result, as video-centric platforms have gained popularity, demand for more user-friendly and effective video editing tools has skyrocketed. However, because video data is temporal, editing in the format is still difficult and time-consuming. Modern machine learning models have shown considerable promise in enhancing editing, although techniques frequently compromise spatial detail and temporal consistency. The emergence of potent diffusion models trained on huge datasets recently caused a sharp increase in the quality and popularity of generative techniques for picture synthesis. Simple users may produce detailed pictures using text-conditioned models like DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion with only a text prompt as input. Latent diffusion models effectively synthesize pictures in a perceptually constrained environment. They research generative models suitable for interactive applications in video editing due to the development of diffusion models in picture synthesis. Current techniques either propagate adjustments using methodologies that calculate direct correspondences or, by finetuning on each unique video, re-pose existing picture models.

They try to avoid costly per-movie training and correspondence calculations for quick inference for every video. They suggest a content-aware video diffusion model with a configurable structure trained on a sizable dataset of paired text-image data and uncaptioned movies. They use monocular depth estimations to represent structure and pre-trained neural networks to anticipate embeddings to represent content. Their method gives several potent controls on the creative process. They first train their model, much like image synthesis models, so the inferred films’ content, such as their look or style, correspond to user-provided pictures or text cues (Fig. 1).

An AI ‘Engineer’ Has Now Designed 100 Chips

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, robotics/AI

Lurking inside your next gadget may be a chip unlike those of the past. People used to do all the complex silicon design work, but for the first time, AI is helping to build new chips for data centers, smartphones, and IoT devices. AI firm Synopsys has announced that its DSO.ai tool has successfully aided in the design of 100 chips, and it expects that upward trend to continue.

Companies like STMicroelectronics and SK Hynix have turned to Synopsys to accelerate semiconductor designs in an increasingly competitive environment. The past few years have seen demand for new chips increase while materials and costs have rocketed upward. Therefore, companies are looking for ways to get more done with less, and that’s what tools like DSO.ai are all about.

The tool can search design spaces, telling its human masters how best to arrange components to optimize power, performance, and area, or PPA as it’s often called. Among those 100 AI-assisted chip designs, companies have seen up to a 25% drop in power requirements and a 3x productivity increase for engineers. SK Hynix says a recent DSO.ai project resulted in a 15% cell area reduction and a 5% die shrink.

Automated Pre-Play Analysis of American Football Formations Using Deep Learning

Posted by in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI

Annotation and analysis of sports videos is a time-consuming task that, once automated, will provide benefits to coaches, players, and spectators. American football, as the most watched sport in the United States, could especially benefit from this automation. Manual annotation and analysis of recorded videos of American football games is an inefficient and tedious process. Currently, most college football programs focus on annotating offensive formations to help them develop game plans for their upcoming games. As a first step to further research for this unique application, we use computer vision and deep learning to analyze an overhead image of a football play immediately before the play begins. This analysis consists of locating individual football players and labeling their position or roles, as well as identifying the formation of the offensive team.
