Artificial Intelligence has become an indispensable tool in the field of gravitational wave research, helping scientists to make new discoveries and advancing our understanding of the universe. Researchers are now able to analyze vast amounts of data from gravitational wave detectors, such as LIGO and Virgo, with much greater efficiency… Read More

Artificial Intelligence technology never stops advancing and even changing the way we do our jobs. Language models now have the ability to do hours worth of programing in seconds, and stable diffusion models give graphic designers a tool to generate any image they can imagine. Deep learning models, by their… Read More

Stable diffusion models have been shown to have incredible success generating realistic images. Models like DALL-E have shown the power to generate brand-new photo-realistic scenes, in addition to mimicking and transferring an art style onto existing photos. These models can be used in a variety of ways and experimentation with… Read More
