Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we create visuals. Text-to-image models make it incredibly easy to generate high-quality images from simple text descriptions. Industries like advertising, entertainment, art, and design already employ these models to explore new creative possibilities. As technology continues to evolve, the opportunities for content creation become even more vast, making […]

While large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and Llama are impressive in their capabilities, they often need more information and more access to domain-specific data. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solves these challenges by combining LLMs with information retrieval. This integration allows for smooth interactions with real-time data using natural language, leading to its growing popularity in […]

A new research collaboration between Singapore and China has proposed a method for attacking the popular synthesis method 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). The new attack method uses crafted source data  to overload the available GPU memory of the target system, and to make training so lengthy as to potentially incapacitate the target server, equivalent to […]
