I am blown away by VQGAN+CLIP, a pair of neural network architectures that can be used to generate images from text. When I wrote my previous post on “A game of AI telephone“, it was not clear to me yet how exciting this technology actually is. Or rather, I had not used the right text… Continue reading Image generation with VQGAN + CLIP

Neurons spike back
Neurons Spike Back (https://neurovenge.antonomase.fr/) was featured in the latest data science weekly newsletter. I would normally pass on such long articles, but the history of AI is interesting, so I gave it a shot. Reading the paper felt like a marathon, and I only completed it through sheer force of will, lots of coffee, and… Continue reading Neurons spike back
AI computing requirements
Whenever there is a new announcement or breakthrough with AI, it always strikes me how out of reach the results would be to replicate for individuals and small organizations. Machine learning algorithms, and especially deep learning with neural networks, are often so computationally expensive that they are infeasible to run without immense computing power. As… Continue reading AI computing requirements
