Networks built out of one or many convolutional layers are the standard in image classification and are also used for other types of structured data. Understand how they work! Convolutional neural network layers are readily available in frameworks such as Tensorflow, Theano, CNTK, and others. You don’t need to learn …
In this article, you’ll learn how to train an autoencoding Neural Network to compress and denoise motion capture data and display it inside Maya Autoencoders are at the heart of some raytracer denoising and image upscaling (aka. super-resolution) technologies. Despite the pompous name, an autoencoder is just a Neural Network …
In short Neural Networks can learn patterns from data. That lets you program tasks that are easy for a person/expert to do but are hard for such people to explain how they’ve done it. Like, face recognition, for example. What good are they for 3D animation?
The acronym AI (Artificial Intelligence) seems to be everywhere. AI cars, AI automation, AI in the cloud, etc. Sometimes AI is conflated with other buzzwords like VR, AR, and so on. Is AI hype?
