Google's DeepMind AI can 'transframe' a single image into a video

Earlier this week, the team behind Google's advanced DeepMind neural network unveiled a new ability dubbed Transframer, which allows AI to generate 30-second videos from a single image input. It's a nifty little trick at first glance, but the implications are much larger than an interesting .GIF file. Transframer is a general-purpose generative framework that can handle many image and video tasks in a probabilistic setting. New work shows it excels in video prediction and view synthesis, and can generate 30s videos from a single image: https://t.co/wX3nrrYEEa "Transframer is state-of-the-art on a variety of video generation benchmarks, and… can generate coherent 30 second videos from a single image without any explicit geometric information," the DeepMind research team explains.
