Inception, a new Palo Alto-based company started by Stanford computer science professor Stefano Ermon, claims to have developed a novel AI model based on “diffusion” technology. Inception calls it a ...

This pie chart illustrates the distribution of visualization tools in the FigureYa resource package across three dimensions: research type (outer ring), analysis method (middle ring), and output ...

A few years ago, a new kind of AI called a diffusion model appeared. Today, it powers tools like Stable Diffusion and Runway Gen-2, turning text prompts into high-quality images and even short videos.

On Tuesday, Stability AI released Stable Video Diffusion, a new free AI research tool that can turn any still image into a short video—with mixed results. It’s an open-weights preview of two AI models ...

Metamaterials with stiffness tunability have demonstrated great potential in mechanical systems that operate in variable environments. Real-time stiffness visualization, which translates the stiffness ...

With so much money flooding into AI startups, it’s a good time to be an AI researcher with an idea to test out. And if the idea is novel enough, it might be easier to get the resources you need as an ...
