Ten years in: Deep learning changed computer vision, but the classical elements still stand
October 9, 2023
Computer Vision (CV) has evolved rapidly in recent years and now permeates many areas of our daily life. To the average person, it might seem like a new and exciting innovation, but this isn’t the case.
CV has actually been evolving for decades, with studies in the 1970s forming the early foundations for many of the algorithms in use today. Then, around 10 years ago, a new technique still in…
As the debate heats up around the use of copyrighted works to train large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta’s Llama 2, Anthropic’s Claude 2, one obvious question arises: can these models even be altered or edited to remove their knowledge of such…
