Simulated and Unsupervised Learning: Apple's New Approach to AI

Earlier this month, Apple's Director of AI Research, Russ Salakhutdinov, announced that the company was getting into publishing research. The six researchers who published the paper belong to a recently formed machine learning group. Synthetic images and videos are being used to train machine learning models. They are readily available, less costly, and customizable. Although the new technique reportedly has a lot of potential, it is risky because generated images do not meet the same quality standards as real images.
