Colorizing Black and White Image with FastAI

#artificialintelligence

Image to Image Translation is currently one of the hot topics of Deep Learning as they give the power to convert one image to another using the basis of the primary image we want to convert to. As we can take an example of conversion of Horse2Zebra, apple2orange and basically other conversions too. Now basically if we deep dive into the basics then we know that for doing such kind of conversion we need to tell the Machine how to convert the images on the basis of Data provided. Now as we know images consist of pixels and for the conversion, we wish to achieve can be done only by using an algorithm which can teach our conversion model. So we will use Machine Learning to achieve this goal.

Global Big Data Conference

#artificialintelligence

Bay Area photography startup Polarr announced this morning that it has raised an $11.5 million Series A. The new round of funding, led by Threshold Ventures with participation from Pear Ventures and Cota Capital, brings the startup's total funding to around $12.5 million, according to the latest Crunchbase figures. At the moment, the company is probably best known for its photography app for iOS and Android, which utilizes machine learning and AI to improve image editing. The company says it has around four million monthly active users. This round of funding will go toward research and development, engineering and partnerships, the latter of which are starting to become a big business for Polarr. In fact, it's using the news to highlight the fact that it was tapped to bring its technology to the Samsung Galaxy S10's native camera app.


Apple says Spotify is being 'misleading' as row develops over payments on the iPhone

The Independent - Tech

Apple says Spotify is trying to keep all the benefits it offers, but without paying anything back, in an extraordinary response to a growing fight between the two firms. The company's statement came after Spotify said that Apple was abusing the dominance that the iPhone gave it in a complaint to European regulators. It also established a website in which it said Apple was not being fair, keeping too much of the revenues from its subscribers for itself and banning Spotify from launching new products. Spotify pointed to the 30 per cent tax that Apple charges on any purchases made through its own systems, arguing that cost should be reduced. It also suggested that Apple had banned it from launching new features, such as an Apple Watch app.

TV Review: 'Love, Death & Robots' and the Rise of NSFW Netflix

WIRED

If you haven't figured it out by the time you see young Hitler getting fellated by a Viennese sex worker, Love, Death & Robots isn't your average Netflix show. Of course, if you haven't figured it out by then, you haven't been paying attention: "Alternate Histories," which features said act being performed upon said icon of evil, is the 17th of 18 episodes in the animated anthology. By that point, you'll have seen full frontal nudity both male, female, and demonic; you'll also have seen a zero-G rendition of 127 Hours that deserves every possible Foley Art award possible, plentiful crushed heads and even more plentiful arcing ichorous spews, and a sex scene that looks like the result of Cinemax becoming a game developer. You may not want to watch with your youth group leader is all I'm saying. The anthology, from a team of executive producers that includes David Fincher and Deadpool director Tim Miller, is a viscerally enjoyable (and just plain visceral) conflagration of the senses.


10 awesome (and not-so-awesome) things I learned while becoming a cord-cutter

PCWorld

After years of reading, research, and really close calls, I finally made the plunge. I canceled my Comcast Triple Play bundle, disconnected the coaxial cables running all over my house, and returned the boxes I've been renting for the last two years. I'm only in the first few days of my new cord-free world, but I can already tell the road ahead will be equal parts bright and bumpy. While I expected some separation anxiety after years of cable TV bills, I naively didn't realize just how different it would be without Comcast or Cox or FiOS supplying the channels. I ended up choosing DirecTV Now for my streaming needs, but I researched and tested a couple of them before settling on it.
