NIFTY: a Non-Local Image Flow Matching for Texture Synthesis

Chatillon, Pierrick, Rabin, Julien, Tschumperlé, David

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the problem of exemplar-based texture synthesis. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to representative methods from the literature. Index T erms-- Generative model, Image synthesis, Texture synthesis, Flow Matching 1. INTRODUCTION AND RELA TED WORK Image generative modeling has been a very active domain over the past decade, driven by a combination of theoretical and technical advances. This progress has led to the development of diverse generative modeling frameworks, many of which rely on the training of deep neural networks. Diffusion models Generative diffusion models (DMs) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] have recently attracted significant attention for their ability to capture complex data distributions and generate high-quality samples, while benefiting from the stable training provided by conditional U-Net architectures.

Imaging is the process of transforming noisy, incomplete data into a space that humans can interpret. NIFTy is a Bayesian framework for imaging and has already successfully been applied to many fields in astrophysics. Previous design decisions held the performance and the development of methods in NIFTy back. We present a rewrite of NIFTy, coined NIFTy.re, which reworks the modeling principle, extends the inference strategies, and outsources much of the heavy lifting to JAX. The rewrite dramatically accelerates models written in NIFTy, lays the foundation for new types of inference machineries, improves maintainability, and enables interoperability between NIFTy and the JAX machine learning ecosystem.


Months after launch, the DJI Mavic 3 is a much better drone

Engadget

When it launched last year, the DJI Mavic 3 grabbed a lot of headlines with features like a big Four Thirds sensor and a second 7X telephoto camera. But it also drew some criticism for going on sale with key features like ActiveTrack and QuickShots still not available. That meant that I and others couldn't assess those features in our early Mavic 3 reviews. And because of that, potential buyers couldn't get a full picture of the drone before paying up to $5,000 for one. Following three major firmware updates in December, January and May, all the promised functions and more are finally here. Now, I'm going to test them out using the same exact drone to see how well they work.


AI for Trading

"What fire was to the cavemen, artificial intelligence will be to us." One industry participant explained the influence of disruptive technology on a staid industry in this way. AI is changing the stock market game. While people remain an important part of the trading environment, artificial reasoning is becoming increasingly important. According to a new study by Coalition, a U.K. research group, electronic exchanges account for about 45 percent of money values swapping revenues. While hedge funds are mistrustful of automation, many of them develop AI-powered analysis to create investment ideas and build portfolios.

Natural language processing is a branch of artificial intelligence concerned with teaching computers to read and derive meaning from language. Since language is so complex, computers have to be taken through a series of steps before they can comprehend text. The following is a quick explanation of the steps that appear in a typical NLP pipeline. Over the last 25 years, Tata Elxsi has been facilitating technology-based advancements. It features a wide spectrum of breakthroughs enabled by AI and analytics, from self-driving cars to video analytics solutions.
