List

A really fun experience as attending the opening discussion in IBM Technology Forum, in W Hotel, Taipei, regarding the future enterprise AI solutions and the system requirements, August 24, invited by IBM Taiwan. It is indeed a well-organized and impressive event.

It’s a whole new and nice experience to face the key enterprise customers and IBM sales team — most of all hear their needs (and expectations) for the existing and future AI functions. The customers are really nervous on how to leverage the advanced technologies.

Along with my experiences in helping the enterprises setup their AI/DL teams, I shared my personal view on how to be the AI-savvy companies with key factors such as:
– Talents $$$$$; effective management
– Data (private)
– Strategies, products/services
– Domain experts
– Computation resources (in house, cloud-based, or hybrid)
– Standing on experts’ shoulders (open source, APIs, consultancy, etc.)
– Supports from the executives

Meanwhile, I do feel proud to promote the Watson Visual Recognition APIs with the potential enterprise customers. I am also surprised that the Morgan AI trailer project, I contributed during my sabbatical leave in IBM TJ Watson (2016-2017), had brought such advantages for the IBM sales and marketing teams.

結合虛與實的試鞋生成網路 (Virtual Try-On Shoe with Generative Neural Networks)

我們都有這樣的困擾,在電子購物的時候,看到一雙好看的鞋子,想買。但是卻又拿不定主意自己穿起來好看嗎?或是搭配某件褲子適合嗎?怎麼讓網路虛擬商城的鞋子,可以有效試在自己的腳上呢? 這個工作的挑戰在於如何使用單張鞋子商品的照片,很自然的合成在使用者的腳上,而且腳可能會有各種姿勢、角度。如何客服這個問題? 很高興大學部專題生(EE) 周晁德 完成了這個 PIVTONS 的虛擬鞋子試穿生成網路,試著解決這個困擾大家很久的問題。 這個有趣的工作也將於十二月初,在澳洲珀斯舉辦 Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV) 2018 以大會演說 (Oral) 的方式跟大家分享這個工作。接下來全新的測試資料集將會公開讓大家使用,如果可以的話,我們也將試試看將整個試穿生成系統上線,讓大家體驗虛擬試鞋的樂趣 — 可以多試穿,多省錢。 我們鼓勵high-risk的研究工作。令人慶幸的是,這工作的發想、資料收集都是專題生獨立完成。當然在過程當中遇到很多GAN生成的問題,網路設計、訓練的問題,幾乎放棄了,還好團隊成員一起想辦法解決,關關難過,關關過(甚至免費擔任model),讓這個兼具技術深度以及商業價值的系統,可以順利完成。 我們也一直努力,讓智能生成(或是辨識)系統,賦予更有意義的應用 […]
