Most chatbot systems still operate based on rules, but in order to implement natural conversations, you eventually need to use more complex language models such as BERT. However, there is a lot of recognition that BERT is heavy and complex, and we briefly introduced what the game platform company Roblox did to make it a service using BERT. Basically, servicing using a GPU...

[Prior Research Team, Ji-Hyun Song] The TadGAN algorithm developed by the MIT research team is known to have better performance than previously known models in detecting anomalies by analyzing time series data. Currently, many companies researching anomaly detection are researching using TadGAN in various fields (finance and aerospace, IT, security and medical fields)...

One of the recent trends is the super-giant model, i.e. the enormous increase in the number of parameters and the application of traditional learning methods. Apart from the "software capabilities" that the human brain shows, I wondered how much should I increase to reach the "hardware" capabilities of the human brain? (If you reach the same hardware capabilities, you can now see the algorithmic efficiency of human vs. AI...

Rosebud.ai (https://rosebud.ai/) is targeting the marketing market with a technology that creates and synthesizes virtual model faces on images created for marketing campaigns. The result is quite natural, and it has the advantage of being able to replace the model face at any time without having to take a picture again. The main advantage is that you can save expensive model licensing fees...

Los Angeles Noir, a 2011 film made by Rockstar, surprised many with facial animations that were far superior to other games. The technology used at this time is called MotionScan. Basically, the cost is very high because the actor sits in a room where several cameras are elaborately arranged to perform, capture and reprocess it. So, a large game company...

It is a code repository of GANimation, a technology that creates animations that change facial expressions by inputting a single image. Basically, it is a conditional GAN, and it uses FACS (facial action coding system), a methodology to describe the anatomical movements of the face. According to FACS, our face utilizes approximately 43 muscles for a total...

[Service Development Team Jeon Jeon-Jun] ML-Agents, unveiled by Unity, is an open source tool that creates virtual characters in the game environment.

This is an article from Synthesia blog that applies AI technology to media marketing with the wording "Synthetic media". The company's main field is to move the facial expressions and lip shape of the model in the video from another video and synthesize (adjust?) it. For example, when there is a video taken by Beckham (speaking in English), the video in 9 different languages...

Demo video of Facebook's digital human project under the name "Codec Avatar" has been released. This is an added part compared to the 2019 video, and the avatar appearance has been changed to be more realistic and shows the technique of tracking the entire body without a marker. When the Codec Avatar was first released in March 2019, the human head and face were elaborately modeled...

The main task of AI chatbots is to answer questions such as explaining product information, telling schedules, and checking the weather. Perhaps if these technologies are maximized, we can reach'Super Human AI' for some of the human fields of'knowledge'.

This is a video of IBM's emotional robot Nao-mi. [Summary of Contents] A robot that says he doesn't want to do with a person who asks to destroy a tower that has been difficult to build. The robot cries at constant demand and eventually breaks it down. Watching the video, my heart hurt a lot. The robot that expresses the mind and interacts with it moves the human mind. The idea that this is a human-like robot...

I recently read about the relationship between human abilities and neural networks. Although it appears in the article, the way the human brain and neural networks operate have similar corners, but I don't think they need to be the same. Rather than imitating fish to swim, you can make a submarine, and make an airplane rather than imitate a bird to fly. (This is the author's example).

The deep learning-based large-scale language model represented by BERT shows excellent performance in various tasks related to natural language such as Q&A, document summary, document generation, and conversation.
