Natural language processing and computer vision are only examples of the fields where generative pre-trained models have succeeded incredibly. In particular, a viable strategy for constructing foundation models is to combine varied large-scale datasets with pre-trained transformers. The study investigates the feasibility of foundation models to further research in cellular biology and genetics by drawing…

In computer vision and graphics, photo-realistic portrait image synthesis has been constantly emphasized, with a wide range of downstream applications in virtual avatars, telepresence, immersive gaming, and many other areas. Indistinguishable from genuine images, recent developments in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown a remarkably high image synthesis quality. Contemporary generative methods, however, don’t model…
If you say “yes” to one thing, then you are saying “no” to something else. Our time is finite, so when you accept to take on a project, task or experiment, you are declining many other activities you could be doing instead. It is critical to be intentional about when to say “yes” and “no.” …
Researchers from MIT, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, IBM Research, and elsewhere have developed a new technique for analyzing unlabeled audio and visual data that could improve the performance of machine-learning models used in applications like speech recognition and object detection. The work, for the first time, combines two architectures of self-supervised learning, contrastive learning…
