Text to 3D, NVIDIA Giveaway and more!

Good morning fellow AI enthusiast! This iteration of?our newsletter?focuses on DreamFusion, but we also announce the NVIDIA 3080TI winner and I need your help! We hope you enjoy it.

1???3D Models from Text! DreamFusion Explained

We’ve seen models able to take a sentence and?generate images.

Then, other?approaches to manipulate the generated images?by learning specific concepts like an object or particular style.

Last week Meta published the?Make-A-Video model?that I covered, which allows you to generate a short video also from a text sentence. The results aren’t perfect yet, but the progress we’ve made in the field since last year is just incredible.

This week we make another step forward.

Here’s DreamFusion, a new Google Research model that can understand a sentence enough to generate a 3D model of it.

You can see this as a?DALLE?or?Stable Diffusion?but in 3D. Read more...

2?? [Sponsored] Get a free trial of Encord, the active learning platform for computer vision

Data is one of the most important parts of creating innovative computer vision models. That’s why the Encord platform has been built from the ground up to make the creation of training data and testing of machine learning models quicker than it’s ever been.?

Encord does this in two ways. Firstly, it makes it easier to collaboratively manage, annotate and evaluate training data. The platform offers powerful automation features to improve labeling efficiency, including interpolation, object tracking and auto-segmentation.?

Secondly, Encord offers access to its APIs and SDK. This means you can create your own active learning pipelines, speeding up model development by ensuring you’re only labeling the data your model needs.?

And by using Encord, you don’t need to waste time building your own annotation tools, letting you focus on getting the right data into your models.

If you want to see what Encord can do for you, click the link to get an exclusive 28 day trial of the platform.
