A model that can create synthetic speech that matches a speaker’s lip movements
Machine learning models can help to solve several real-world problems faster and more efficiently. One among these problems involves synthesizing speech for both animated characters and human speakers based on the movements of their lips.
A model that can realistically insert humans into images
The recent advent of generative models, computational tools that can generate new texts or images based on the data they are trained on, opened interesting new possibilities for the creative industries. For example, they allow artists and digital content creators to...
A new approach for map densification in visual place recognition
Visual place recognition (VPR) is the task of identifying the location where specific images were taken. Computer scientists have recently developed various deep learning algorithms that could effectively tackle this task, letting users know where within a known...
A new framework to design explainable AI for augmented reality applications
While artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools are now commonly used to enhance technological applications, the underpinnings of many of these tools are hard to decipher. This is because most of them are based on 'black box' models, models that analyze...
Model can predict how humans perceive attractiveness in different faces with high accuracy
Past psychology and neuroscience studies have often investigated how humans perceive different faces during social interactions. Some studies suggest that on average humans tend to find some faces more attractive than others, thus their ratings for specific faces can...
A model that generates complex recipes from images of available ingredients
Artificial intelligence (AI) models have already made their way into a wide range of real-world settings, helping humans to tackle everyday problems faster and more efficiently. Recently, computer scientists have also been exploring their potential for assisting...
A power-efficient engine that can disentangle the visual attributes of objects
Most humans are innately able to identify the individual attributes of sensory stimuli, such as objects they are seeing, sounds they are hearing, and so on. While artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become increasingly better at recognizing specific objects in...
A model that uses human prompts and sketches to generate realistic fashion images
Artificial intelligence (AI) recently started making its way into many creative industries, for instance, in the form of tools for digital artists, architects, interior designers and image editors. In these contexts, AI can automate processes that are tedious or time...
A model to automatically identify the sentiment polarity of specific words in written texts
In recent years, computer scientists have been trying to develop effective models for sentiment analysis. These models are designed to analyze sentences or longer texts and autonomously determine their underlying emotional tone.
