NVIDIA showcases text-to-3D Generative AI model LATTE3D

NVIDIA researchers have developed a cutting-edge text-to-3D generative AI model called LATTE3D, which can transform text prompts into 3D representations of objects and animals in under a second. This model significantly accelerates the process compared to previous methods, making near-real-time text-to-3D generation feasible for various industries. LATTE3D offers creators the ability to quickly generate detailed 3D shapes based on text prompts, providing multiple options for selection and optimization within minutes. The model was trained on specific datasets like animals and everyday objects but can be adapted to other data types, enabling applications in diverse fields such as landscape design and robotics training. NVIDIA Research's work on LATTE3D showcases a remarkable advancement in AI technology, enhancing the efficiency and speed of 3D shape generation for creative endeavors and practical applications across industries.

Using AI to predict future health conditions

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized in a study to predict the future health conditions of patients. The AI tool, named Foresight, was developed by researchers from King's College London, University College London, and NHS trusts in London. This tool, similar to ChatGPT, was trained using data from NHS electronic records and successfully identified potential health conditions a patient may experience next. The study, published in The Lancet Digital Health, demonstrated that Foresight achieved high precision levels in predicting health trajectories, making it a valuable tool for aiding decision-making in healthcare. The research team is now working on Foresight 2, aiming to enhance its accuracy by involving more hospitals in its development. Read more…

Saharan Secrets

Zaki squinted his eyes against the bright desert sun as he walked up a huge dune. His throat was very dry and his legs felt heavy from walking through so much sand. He wished he hadn't come into the harsh desert alone.

But the old map he found was too exciting to ignore. It showed a hidden oasis with amazing treasures - remains of a lost civilization that could change history books. If only he could find it before running out of supplies.

At the top of the dune, Zaki stopped. There, in the valley below, was an amazing sight: green palm trees surrounding a sparkling lake. Carvings and cave openings were etched into the rocky cliffs. He'd found the legendary lost city!

As Zaki went down towards the green oasis, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. His heart pounded as ragged figures emerged from the caves, wearing torn robes and carrying wicked knives. They were guarding the city's secrets.

Gripping his sword tightly, Zaki steadied his nerves. He'd come too far to turn back now. The lost city's priceless treasures - and its dark secrets - were waiting inside.
