In this blog post, I’ll introduce the process of creating personalized & animated memes using Deforum and a fine-tuned Stable Diffusion (SD) model as a style transfer tool and present some examples of memes that I have made by personalizing videos. Just before starti...

The TL;DR Recent advances in Generative AI have led to the launch of a whole host of services such as DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stability AI that have the potential to drastically change the way we approach content creation. In this post I show you how to build and serve your very own, high p...

Recently a new Google Research has been published under the name of Generative Image Dynamics which seems astonishing to everyone because of Interactive motions. This research paper presents an approach of modelling an Image space to Dynamic space. Image-space prior on scene dynamics that ...

Have you heard about how artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the art world? It’s truly amazing! There are now AI art generators like Leonardo.ai that can create breathtaking visuals in no time compared to traditional methods. Speaking of Leonardo.ai, it’s one of the most popu...

AI is the same way, unfortunately. When you talk to an artist, you can get someone incredibly inte...

In this post, we will build a hypothetical auction vehicle damage assessment and valuation application using generative AI technologies. Based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) and images showing vehicle damage, we will use machine learning and generative AI technologies to assess the vehic...

Introduction: Hey there! Docker is a cool tool for packing up your apps, but let’s make sure those packages are locked up tight. I am going to show you some super simple steps to secure your Docker images, no tech jargon involved! Step 1: Keep Docker Updated Think of Docker like a car...

This is another project based on a real-world scenario, where I had to act as a DevOps Engineer, and show a new team member how to deploy an application on a Kubernetes cluster. This cluster is part of The Cloud Bootcamp project, and I prepared this new team member to deploy the voting applicatio...

Harbor is a graduated project from CNCF. It ensures security through Policies and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It can integrate with vulnerability scanning tools to ensure image safety. It can also sign images for trust, achieving compliance, performance, and operability, effectively assisting ...

Hey there, globetrotters and would-be adventurers! You know me, always ready to dig into the dirt beneath the glitter. Today, let’s dissect Thailand, the so-called ‘Land of Smiles,’ and figure out whether it’s all sunshine, coconut shakes, and friendly grins. Unmasking the...

Well, they’re a curated blend of perfection and aspiration that could make even a Zen master feel a tad inadequate. But here’s the thing: beneath the Valencia-filtered veneers and strategically hashtagged posts, there’s an honest conversation about social media and self-esteem...

As a photographer, the introduction of AI to generate images scared me at first. I felt my “creative soul” crushed watching people with no artistic talent generating images that were captivating audiences. So, I’ve spent the past few weeks using these tools and understanding how to...

The sad truth is that there can be no solution to the ongoing climate crisis or other development-related initiatives unless Africa’s toxic image is first challenged. Why? Because the continuing bitterness in African over colonialism and the poisonous legacy of slavery have conspired...

As I navigate my stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, exploring the tensions between my leftist values and Jewish upbringing, I can’t escape this nagging sensation that I am somehow betraying my Judaism in my criticisms of Israel and support for Palestine. In every Jewish community I&rs...

An image description is a written caption that describes the essential information in an image. Image descriptions can define photos, graphics, gifs, and video — basically anything containing visual information. Providing descriptions for imagery and video are required as part of WCAG 2.1 (...

If you have tried William Bengston’s Rapid Image Cycling technique, you know that it involves memorization. I’ve been working with this technique for over a decade and have watched my patients struggle particularly with this part. They ask questions like, “Do I really ...

Logistic regression is a statistical method for predicting binary classes. It is an extension of the linear regression for the classification problem approaches.It is named logistic because the function used in the logistic regression is logistic function also known as sigmoid function. This functio...

What is Image Segmentation? Image Segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into different image classes or objects. This is a very important part of self-driving cars as correctly detecting what objects are in front of the car and where they are located are critical inputs to t...

One of the biggest problems facing modern astronomers, astrophysicists, and cosmologists — every scientist who studies the Universe itself for a living — is that we do not understand how quickly the Universe is expanding. The most direct method of measuring the expansion rate, by lo...

Different types of medical images are produced by varying the types of energies used to acquire the image. These different modes are called radiology modalities. Different modalities present different aspects (time of exposition, scanning methods, use of radioactive isotopes). As an example, we...

Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) The idea of Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) is to make two Neural Networks compete with each other. One will generate images similar to the training data. The other will classify which is generated and training images. Hence, creating a rea...
