Combining the Transformers Expressivity with the CNNs Efficiency for High-Resolution Image Synthesis
Tl;DR: They combined the efficiency of GANs and convolutional approaches with the expressivity of transformers to produce a powerful and time-efficient method for semantically-guided high-quality image synthesis.If the title and subtitle sound like another language to you, this article was made for you!Image-GPTYou’ve probably heard of iGPT, or Image-GPT recently published by … [Read more...] about Combining the Transformers Expressivity with the CNNs Efficiency for High-Resolution Image Synthesis
InventorBot: Using AI to Generate New Ideas in Any Field
PatentsView — Access to US PatentsIn 2015, the USPTO set up a free Application Programming Interface (API) that allows programmatic access to over 7 million patents that were granted between 1976 to date [4]. You can use it to search for patents and it will return fields like patent number, grant date, title, abstract, inventor names, etc. Note that the database does not … [Read more...] about InventorBot: Using AI to Generate New Ideas in Any Field

NNN: Neural Networks for Noobs — Part 6
When (not) to use neural networksIf you have read the last five articles, you should have got quite a good idea what neural networks are, what its parts are, how to train them and how to find the best model. What I haven’t talked about yet is when you actually want to go through all this hassle and construct such a model.Other than media often suggests, neural networks are not … [Read more...] about NNN: Neural Networks for Noobs — Part 6
