Google Blog: India’s mini-masterpieces brought to life with AI and AR
Google Blog: India’s mini-masterpieces brought to life with AI and AR. “Miniature paintings are among the most beautiful, most technically-advanced and most sophisticated art forms in Indian culture. Though compact (about the same size as a small book), they typically tackle profound themes such as love, power and faith. Using technologies like machine learning, augmented reality and high-definition robotic cameras, Google Arts & Culture has partnered with the National Museum in New Delhi to showcase these special works of art in a magical new way.”
Make Tech Easier: Google Adds More AI to Search to Be More Helpful
Make Tech Easier: Google Adds More AI to Search to Be More Helpful . “Google has become synonymous with search. The name has become an action. Who searches for things online? We google it. It’s come a long way since it was first developed in 1997 – when that’s all Google was, a search engine. Google has recently added more AI to search to make it even more helpful.”
Salina Post: Web-based AI program encourages users to submit photos of bees for IDs
Salina Post: Web-based AI program encourages users to submit photos of bees for IDs. “A Kansas State University researcher’s effort to develop an artificial intelligence tool for identifying bees has created quite a buzz already. Brian Spiesman, an assistant professor in K-State’s Department of Entomology, launched the website…earlier this year to relieve a backlog of information needed to help track trends in bee populations across the world.”
Complete Tutorial On Txtai: An AI-Powered Search Engine (Analytics India)
Analytics India: Complete Tutorial On Txtai: An AI-Powered Search Engine. “Searching is the most basic functionality that is seen in almost all applications. But it can be challenging when you have a large amount of data or documents and you need faster results. This is where natural language processing can be useful to us. With the development of new models in NLP, quicker computation and more accurate results are possible. One such development is a library called txtai. This enables a smarter way to apply natural language processing on search bars. In this article, we will see the different applications of the txtai and implement them in Python.”
