This blog summarizes the workflow for synthetic dataset generation using Isaac Sim. The provided code demonstrates how to automate object movement and rotation within a simulated environment, capture images from a camera, and generate annotations such as bounding boxes. This process is essential for creating synthetic datasets for training and testing computer vision models. … Continued
This blog provides an overview of the NVIDIA Omniverse ecosystem, with a particular emphasis on NVIDIA Isaac Sim. Introduction NVIDIA Omniverse™ is a platform of APIs, SDKs, and services. It helps developers use Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) and NVIDIA RTX™ rendering tools. These tools can be added to current software and simulation processes to create … Continued
This blog presents the steps necessary to set up a NVIDIA Omniverse instance in an AWS EC2. There are two possible installations: Workstation and Container. We will set up a remote headless server using a Docker container, and use the GUI via Streaming Client/WebRTC. Steps for AMI creation In this section we describe the … Continued
Computers are more powerful than ever before. This means we can do things with AI that we couldn’t do in the past. But, these new AI models need a lot of data to learn. This appetite for data has been successfully addressed in natural language processing (NLP) by self-supervised pretraining. The solutions are easy to … Continued
It’s undeniable that one of the fastest-growing fields of artificial intelligence in recent years is Generative AI, particularly in the field of natural language processing. The number of systems and processes that can benefit from the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) is enormous, ranging from applications like chatbots and content generation to summarization tools, … Continued
Introduction Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) refers to the task of accurately extracting license plate information from a variety of visual sources, which can range from high-resolution still images to real-time video streams from surveillance cameras. Applications of ALPR are broad and impactful. ALPR systems are used for identifying stolen vehicles, tracking suspects, and … Continued
This blog post explores Oracle AI Vector Search, a new feature that introduces vector capabilities to the Oracle Database. Vector embeddings are a powerful tool for tasks like semantic search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). We’ll delve into the creation, storage and search functionalities offered by Oracle AI Vector Search. Providing a practical guide for developers … Continued
Since 2017, transformers have demonstrated their superiority in performance and computational efficiency, surpassing recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The attention mechanism introduced in the paper ‘Attention is All You Need’ and their ability to parallelize training—a feat traditional RNNs struggled with—attribute this superiority. However, transformers come with a challenge: the memory and inference costs associated with … Continued
Introduction Google -particularly its DeepMind squad- has launched a set of lightweights models, called Gemma, the same that were involved in Gemini creation. It is available in two sizes, 2B and 7B. It comes with an outstanding Responsible Generative AI Toolkit, an SFT for several frameworks and ready-to-use libs and colabs. Pre-trained models or customized … Continued
Model Merging 1. Introduction Model composition is a well-known problem in the Machine Learning community. Its aim is to extend the capabilities of a model, without forgetting what it already knows. Let’s consider a situation in which we have a good performing model in a certain task (e.g. Text-to-SQL) but it was fine-tuned for that … Continued
