微软3D生成扩散模型RODIN，秒级定制3D数字化身
编者按：近日，由微软亚洲研究院提出的 Roll-out Diffusion Network (RODIN) 模型，首次实现了利用生成扩散模型在 3D 训练数据上自动生成 3D 数字化身（Avatar）的功能。仅需一张图片甚至一句文字描述，RODIN 扩散模型就能秒级生成 3D 化身，让低成本定制 3D 头像成为可能，为 3D 内容创作领域打开了更多想象空间。相关论文“RODIN: A Genera...

完成一幅计算机学术生态的拼图，少不了这些“斜杠女性”
在微软亚洲研究院学术合作部，来自不同国家、有着不同学术背景和人生阅历的女性，正在以各自所擅长的方式，为跨领域研究搭建沟通协作的桥梁。这些“斜杠女性”有着不拘一格的职场哲学与处世之道，她们也更加乐于在开放、多元、包容的氛围中，为研究院连接众多合作伙伴，以自己的热情和智慧，为广阔的计算机学术生态拼图填补着不可或缺的板块。 Miran Lee，微软亚洲研究院学术合作总监 国籍：韩国 关系管理能手/ 自主...
Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, are able to generate human-like, fluent responses for many downstream tasks, e.g., task-oriented dialog and question answering. However, applying LLMs to real-world, mission-critical applications remains challenging mainly due to their tendency to generate…
作者：机器之心 在 NLP 领域，大规模语言模型（LLM）已经成功地在各种自然语言任务中充当通用接口。只要我们能够将输入和输出转换为文本，就能使得基于 LLM 的接口完成一个任务。举例而言，对于摘要任务，我们能够将文档输入到语言模型，语言模型就可以生成摘要。 尽管 LLM 在 NLP 任务中取得了成功的应用，但研究人员仍努力将其原生地用于图像和音频等多模态数据。作为智能的基本组成部分，多模态感知是...
