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…
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…
DeepMind’s ‘remarkable’ new AI controls robots of all kinds
October 7, 2023
One of the big challenges of robotics is the amount of effort that has to be put into training machine learning models for each robot, task, and environment. Now, a new project by Google DeepMind and 33 other research institutions aims to address this challenge by creating a general-purpose AI system that can work with different types of physical robots and perform many tasks.
