OpenAI’s latest neural network creates images from written descriptions

OpenAI has debuted its latest jaw-dropping innovation, an image-generating neural network called DALL·E.

DALL·E is a 12-billion parameter version of GPT-3 which is trained to generate images from text descriptions.

“We find that DALL·E is able to create plausible images for a great variety of sentences that explore the compositional structure of language,“ OpenAI explains.

Generated images can range from drawings, to objects, and even manipulated real-world photos. Here are some examples of each provided by OpenAI:

Just as OpenAI’s GPT-3 text generator caused alarm about implications such as helping to create fake news for the kinds of disinformation campaigns recently seen around COVID-19, 5G, and attempting to influence various democratic processes—similar concerns will be raised about the company’s latest innovation.

People are increasingly aware of fake news and not to believe everything they read, especially from unknown sources without good track records. However, as humans, we’re still used to believing what we can see with our eyes. Fake news with fake supporting imagery is a rather convincing combination.

Much like it argued with GPT-3, OpenAI essentially says that – by putting the technology out there as responsibly as possible – it helps to raise awareness and drives research into how the implications can be tackled before such neural networks are inevitably created and used by malicious parties.

“We recognise that work involving generative models has the potential for significant, broad societal impacts,” OpenAI said.

“In the future, we plan to analyse how models like DALL·E relate to societal issues like economic impact on certain work processes and professions, the potential for bias in the model outputs, and the longer-term ethical challenges implied by this technology.”

Technological advancements will almost always be used for damaging purposes—but often the benefits outweigh the risks. I’d wager you could write pages about the good and bad sides of the internet, but overall it’s a pretty fantastic thing.

When it comes down to it: If the “good guys” don’t build it, you can be sure the bad ones will.

I’m Sorry! Evernote Has A New ‘Home’ Now

Original Source Here My Apologies! I was critical about the grandfather of all apps — Evernote a few months back when I wrote Why is Evernote losing its Ground? on Medium. With that said, I also wrote another story on Evernote in November of last year — Has Evernote Made A Comeback After Years Of Stagnation? This was the time when Ian Small and his team were making inroads into the technology and strategically making enhancements and revamping the app across all platforms. Evernote Is At A War-front And Wants To Prove A Point. I must h ave written this in my earlier blogs but just to re-iterate — I have been and am an avid user of Evernote since 2009 and is a part of my life for planning my daily life, projects, content writing, and almost everything. Recently, Evernote has launched its HOME or you may call it a DASHBOARD that provides its users a one-stop place to get access to their important and critical notes and also provides a few AI-enabled capabilities that I wil

Jensen Huang , CEO of Nvidia , received the distinguished lifetime achievement award by the Asian American Engineer of the Year from the Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) group. And in his acceptance speech, he made a rare comment beyond Nvidia’s business matters: “Racism is one flywheel we must stop.” The comments came at the end of an acceptance speech where he thanked the group for its award, an annual gathering that recognizes outstanding Asian American scientists, engineers and role models. In a virtual ceremony, Huang was awarded for his contributions as “a visionary and innovator in parallel computing technology that accelerates the realization of AI computing.” He also spoke of his experience as an immigrant and an Asian American. “It is strange to accept a lifetime achievement

5 Best Machine Learning Books for ML Beginners

Image
Original Source Here Reading books is important because they books you endless knowledge. If you plan to become a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer, reading machine learning books will help you gain the knowledge and skills required in this field. In a simple definition, machine learning is known as the subset of AI that has the ability to automatically learn from the data without explicitly being programmed or assisted by domain expertise. Email spam and malware filtering, product recommendations, image recognition, automatic language translation — these are all examples of real-life machine learning applications. The Futu r e of Jobs Report 2020 predicts that artificial intelligence (of which machine learning is a subset) will create 12 million new jobs across 26 countries by 2025. There are many books available in the market to learn machine learning. In this article, I have compiled the 5 best machine learning books that will help you start building your care
