Exciting project by Microsoft Research, called VASA-1, which focuses on generating lifelike, audio-driven talking faces in real-time. This technology could revolutionize how we interact with digital media, offering new possibilities in virtual meetings, gaming, and online education. Imagine interacting with AI that not only responds intelligently but also conveys human-like expressions and reactions, enhancing the user experience across various platforms. Dive into the details of this fascinating project on their (https://lnkd.in/dPMb5zi9).

Yeasterday my colleague @Petr draw my attention to Microsoft Research's latest venture - VASA1. This is truly cutting-edge technology which creates amazingly realistic facial animations, potentially revolutionizing how we interact with digital technology.The applications of such technology are vast, ranging from enhanced virtual meetings to more immersive gaming experiences. On the other hand, it also raises risks related to fake news and misinformation, as the technology could potentially be used to create misleading or deceptive content... Really suggest to check details about VASA-1: https://lnkd.in/dEFQSRqJ).

Thanks to everyone who met with us at NVIDIA GTC We talked to sooo many of you about the future of AI and the world at large! As a closing treat, check out this video of our very own CEO Scott Stephenson playing Yappy Bird! (aka our vocally-controlled Flappy Bird demo) 🐥

I highly recommend this video, introducing us to the challenges and risks of machine learning. https://lnkd.in/ewigDusm

Check out this awesome video with Matt McKenzie on how Tabcorp is raising the game with Databricks! This is truely a company with AI at its core. Tabcorp is using data and AI to provide a personalized gaming and entertainment experience for its customers, whether they are watching at home or attending a live event. By unifying data on Databricks, Tabcorp is decommissioning legacy platforms and investing in more AI initiatives to benefit its customers. Using Unity Catalog for governance gives the Tabcorp team a clear and comprehensive understanding of its data sources, lineage and quality while allowing for a scalable data governance strategy.

Matei making Unity Catalog Open Source in realtime: "All right! You might be asking, you know, is this for real? When are you actually releasing it? May in 90 days? May in 89? Because I announced it yesterday...". The rest is history. #unitycatalog #oss #governance #databricks

The need and importance of Responsible Gaming initiatives is only going to grow as new regulation, enhanced gameplay experience, and general expansion take place in the Gaming industry. At the same time, delivering the right intervention to the right person at the right time is incredibly complex. In this solution accelerator, we demonstrate how to identify and predict high risk behaviours to help you keep your customers safe from harm. To do this, you can take the following steps. - Ingest and process synthetic gameplay data into Databricks using Delta Live Tables - Perform exploratory data analysis using notebook functionality and Databricks SQL - Create a feature store table for customer features using Databricks Feature Store - Train a classification model using Xgboost, Hyperopt, and MLflow - Perform inference to classify high risk behavior https://lnkd.in/eh597mGt

I strongly recommend everyone to watch this video (starting from 26:15; you can find it through the link below). It uses concise and clear animations to explain the role of a GPU in an AI Data Center: https://lnkd.in/gqu6HpX6 #NVIDA #GTC #GPU #Blackwell
