Age verification hurts sex educators, study suggests

Experts have warned about how age verification rules it will impact people’s jobs and bank accounts – and now preliminary research suggests they’re right. Age verification laws vary by country, but generally require submitting proof of age, either a face scan or uploading a government ID, to view potentially adult content. Starting in 2022, these … Read more

TII Releases Falcon Perception: A 0.6B-Parameter Early-Fusion Transformer for Open-Vocabulary Grounding and Segmentation from Natural Language Prompts

TII Releases Falcon Perception: A 0.6B-Parameter Early-Fusion Transformer for Open-Vocabulary Grounding and Segmentation from Natural Language Prompts

In the current state of computer vision, a common operating procedure involves a modular ‘Lego brick’ approach: a vision encoder pre-trained for feature extraction paired with a separate decoder for task prediction. Although effective, this separation of structures makes it difficult to measure and hinders the interaction between language and vision. I Technology Innovation Institute … Read more

A Step-by-Step Guide to Building an End-to-End Model Optimization Pipeline with NVIDIA Model Optimizer Using FastNAS Pruning and Fine Tuning

A Step-by-Step Guide to Building an End-to-End Model Optimization Pipeline with NVIDIA Model Optimizer Using FastNAS Pruning and Fine Tuning

In this tutorial, we build a complete end-to-end pipeline using NVIDIA Model Optimizer train, prune, and fine-tune a deep learning model directly in Google Colab. We start by setting up the environment and prepare the CIFAR-10 dataset, then define the ResNet architecture and train it to establish a solid foundation. From there, we use FastNAS … Read more
