Shrey Jain, Karen Easterbrook and E. Glen Weyl Generative foundation models (opens in new tab) (GFMs) like GPT-4 will transform human productivity. Yet the astonishing capabilities of these models will also strain many social institutions, including the ways we communicate…
Large-scale language models have revolutionized natural language processing tasks, and researchers are exploring their potential for enhancing human-robot interaction and communication. In this post, we will present our co-speech gesturing chat system, which integrates GPT-3/ChatGPT with a gesture engine to…
了解AIGC音频/图像数据生成，这几篇论文给你划好了重点！
作者：谭旭 作为近期人工智能领域内的顶流之一，AIGC（AI-Generated Content 或 Generative AI）早已火爆出圈，频登各大互联网平台热搜。基于深度学习的内容生成在图像、视频、语音、音乐、文本等生成领域都取得了令人瞩目的成果。 由于现实世界中的信息在多数情况下呈现文本、图像和语音等多种模态，人类会通过综合运用多种感官来感知和理解现实世界，因此，如何赋予计算机这种综合理解...

Microsoft Research India is creating tools to help preserve fast disappearing languages
In 2010, Bo, a language of the Andaman Islands that is at least 65,000 years old became extinct when the only person who spoke this pre-Neolithic tongue died. This isn’t an isolated case. Every two weeks, a language is lost…
Introducing CliffordLayers: Neural Network layers inspired by Clifford / Geometric Algebras.
We are open sourcing CliffordLayers (opens in new tab), a repo for building neural network layers inspired by Clifford / Geometric Algebras. This repo contains the source code of our ICLR 2023 paper Clifford Neural Layers for PDE Modeling (opens…
