News

OpenAI releases Point-E, an AI that generates 3D models
The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt. According to a paper published alongside the code base, Point-E can produce 3D models in one to two minutes on a single Nvidia V100 GPU.

Image search with localization and open-vocabulary reranking using Marqo, yolox, CLIP and OWL-ViT
Here we show how image search can be evolved to add localization and re-ranking by leveraging Marqo, yolox, CLIP and OWL-ViT. Adding the extra dimension of localization can improve retrieval performance and enable new use cases for image search while also helping with explainability. Re-ranking with an open vocabulary detection model allows for even finer-grained localsiation. The first part of the article covers background information while the second part contains working code

Boring Python: code quality
The first post talked about dependency management, and laid out an approach to it designed to ensure (as much as possible) it doesn’t become a source of unexpected bugs. This second post in the series talks about what’s generally called “code quality” — tools to help you identify potential bugs, and other problems, as early as possible, ideally before they ever get merged into your codebase, let alone deployed to production).

Python Magic Methods You Haven't Heard About
Python's magic methods - also known as dunder (double underscore) methods - can be used to implement a lot of cool things. Most of the time we use them for simple stuff, such as constructors (__init__), string representation (__str__, __repr__) or arithmetic operators (__add__/__mul__). There are however many more magic methods which you probably haven't heard about and in this article we will explore all of them (even the hidden and undocumented)!
