MedARC has developed MindEye, an AI model that can analyze fMRI scans and retrieve the exact original image the person was looking at, even if the images are similar. The model can also identify similar images from a large image database. While impressive, the fMRI data collection process and limited training data are challenges. Nevertheless,…
Text-to-image diffusion models have dominated generative tasks by producing high-quality outcomes. Recently, image-to-image transformation tasks have been guided by diffusion models with external image conditions. However, the iterative and time-consuming nature of diffusion models limits their practical use. Recent research proposes distillation techniques to speed up sampling and condense the models. A single-stage distillation method…
Discover the quick and simple method for running Nougat using only a few lines of code.
Diffusion models have gained attention in the AI community for their ability to reverse the process of turning data into noise and understand complex data distributions. While they excel in some areas, they have limitations in tasks like picture translation. To address this, researchers have introduced Denoising Diffusion Bridge Models (DDBMs), which use diffusion bridges…
