Stable Diffusion and crazy animations
Neural networks that create images based on text or voice descriptions have only recently begun to appear. But they have already gone from fanciful abstractions to almost photographic images that are generated in minutes. The Stable Diffusion neural network, which appeared in mid-August 2022, generates images of 512×512 pixels in just a few seconds under all conditions. This system is one of the biggest competitors for Dalle-2. Xander Steenbrugge, a programmer and artist from Belgium, used Sta

AI and shop-and-go
In a search for a promising buffet offering instead of the usual meal options for University of Denver students, food and facilities management company Sodexo found San Jose-based AiFi, which has a frictionless, cashierless retail solution based on artificial intelligence. AiFi, a company with only cameras and computer vision technology, now boasts a total of 80 cashierless stores worldwide, working with retailers such as Carrefour, Aldi, Loop and Verizon. AiFi's development is the use of soph

Xiaomi's CyberOne - a humanoid robot exploring the boundaries of connected life
Xiaomi's first humanoid robot, CyberOne, 177 cm tall and weighing 52 kg, debuted at the company's new product launch event in Beijing. This newest member of the Cyber series joins last year's four-legged Cyberdog robot. CyberOne is a humanoid robot with well-developed coordination and exceptional movement capabilities that can maintain a balanced posture while bipedal. It has also been demonstrated its ability to recognize human emotions, advanced vision capabilities, functionality to create th

Protein Universe with AlphaFold
AlphaFold, an artificial intelligence system that predicts the three-dimensional structure of a protein based on its one-dimensional amino acid sequence, and the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AlphaFold DB) were released a year ago. "AlphaFold is the only and important advance in life science that demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence. It used to take months or years to determine the 3D structure of a protein, now it takes seconds." Today, incredible updates to the system ha

AI-assisted dental treatment
Overjet software, created by MIT graduates, helps dentists identify and treat dental disease, and shows patients their problems and explains treatment recommendations. When an X-ray is imported into a computer, Overjet's software automatically provides an analysis and annotation of the image. In fact, by the time the image appears on the computer screen, it contains information about the type of X-ray taken, how the tooth may be affected, the exact level of bone loss with color overlays, the lo

Piction Health and the treatment of skin diseases using machine learning
Piction Health began as a mobile app that used artificial intelligence to recognize melanoma from images. Today, however, the founders are focused on helping doctors identify and treat the most popular skin diseases - among them both common rashes and acne, as well as shingles. "All of these diseases are ones that dermatologists often go to dermatology with, and dermatologists get frustrated because they'd rather spend time treating skin cancer or other conditions that need their help," says th

DALL-E is now available in beta
DALL-E is an artificial intelligence system that creates realistic images and artwork based on natural language descriptions. Artists and creative professionals can use it to inspire and accelerate creative processes, and some have already used it to create music videos for young cancer patients. The creators of this system invited about 1 million people from the waiting list who can now create DALL-E using free credits. These are replenished each month, and there is an option to buy additional

AI and the rapid search for drug molecules
In a paper presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a geometric deep learning model called EquiBind. It is 1,200 times faster than its predecessor and successfully binds drug molecules to proteins. The current process for finding promising drug candidate molecules looks like this: a candidate sampling is combined with techniques such as scoring, ranking and fine-tuning, to get the best "match" betwee

YOLOv7 by Academia Sinica
The 2016 release of YOLO caused a furor among computer vision professionals. It provided high speed and accuracy for a fundamental problem with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, safety, medical image analysis, and other fields. Then, it also provided multiscale predictions, a better baseline classifier, and other tricks to improve YOLO learning and performance. Now, Academia Sinica continues the development of YOLO in its new work YOLOv7, which introduces new methods of "extension"

Training AI to ask clinical questions as a new method to simplify physicians' work
MIT researchers have created a public database of more than 2,000 clinically relevant questions for physicians to help them more efficiently find information in a patient's medical record without spending a lot of time navigating. The database was created in collaboration with medical experts who are competent in the list of questions physicians ask when reviewing electronic medical records. Now, the team is using this work to create a model that can automatically answer physician questions in
