AI can erase tattoos from photos to help face recognition systems

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence can accurately remove tattoos from photos of people's faces – potentially helping face recognition systems, which can be flummoxed by such tattoos, work accurately. In previous research, Mathias Ibsen at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in Germany and his colleagues had identified that face painting and tattoos can impair the performance of face recognition systems.


Azure Cognitive Services - Create Text Analytics Service For Natural Language Processing

#artificialintelligence

In this article, we'll learn in step-by-step process to create the Text Analytics Service in the Azure Cognitive Services. The text analytics will come in handy while working with projects related to NLP ie. Natural Language Processing and provides features such as Sentiment Analysis, Text Summarization, Key Phrase Extraction and many more. This article is also a prerequisite for the article series on Sentiment Analysis. Let us get introduced to Azure Cognitive Services, Text Analytics and then go through the tutorial.


AI-synthesized faces are indistinguishable from real faces and more trustworthy

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI)–synthesized text, audio, image, and video are being weaponized for the purposes of nonconsensual intimate imagery, financial fraud, and disinformation campaigns. Our evaluation of the photorealism of AI-synthesized faces indicates that synthesis engines have passed through the uncanny valley and are capable of creating faces that are indistinguishable--and more trustworthy--than real faces. Artificial intelligence (AI)–powered audio, image, and video synthesis--so-called deep fakes--has democratized access to previously exclusive Hollywood-grade, special effects technology. From synthesizing speech in anyone's voice (1) to synthesizing an image of a fictional person (2) and swapping one person's identity with another or altering what they are saying in a video (3), AI-synthesized content holds the power to entertain but also deceive. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are popular mechanisms for synthesizing content.


Scientists develop AI that can flirt by using 'non-word sounds' such as sighs and breaths

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new artificial intelligence program has been developed that can mimic flirty speech patterns, thanks to new'non-word sounds' including sighs and breaths. Sonantic, based in London, England, produces expressive artificial intelligence voices for a range of uses, including Hollywood movies and computer games. The latest development was built with an'unnamed Hollywood client' called'What's Her Secret?', designed to create a flirty female lead character'that has never lived'. They released a video, with the face of an actress but voice of AI, designed to demonstrate it is possible to create'hyper-realistic romantic encounters.' In developing the flirty AI, the team also discovered some secrets that humans can use to sound more romantic and flirty, including slowing down to create suspense, gently smiling when speaking, and keeping a sooth, consistent pace.


I made an AI listen to 200 Ed Sheeran songs and told it to write Valentine's Day messages

#artificialintelligence

We login to the API using our personal token and retrieve the 200 most popular songs. We exclude things like acoustic versions, because we don't want too many duplicate lyrics polluting the data. We also exclude the headers, lest your crush get suspicious when reading words like [Intro] or [Chorus] in your beautifully personalized Valentine's Day poem. In our case, we will use GPT-2 as the pre-trained model. The reason for this model is that more recent models like GPT-J are too large to retrain on most accessible compute resources.


Recommender Systems and Deep Learning in Python

#artificialintelligence

What do I mean by "recommender systems", and why are they useful? Let's look at the top 3 websites on the Internet, according to Alexa: Google, YouTube, and Facebook. Recommender systems form the very foundation of these technologies. Google: Search results They are why Google is the most successful technology company today. YouTube: Video dashboard I'm sure I'm not the only one who's accidentally spent hours on YouTube when I had more important things to do! Just how do they convince you to do that?
