Government, research universities, and private enterprise together have advanced America’s innovation. Now we can work together to bring about fundamental breakthroughs in #AI by forming a National Research Cloud. Learn more. stanford.io/2zEzVlz

Today we’re announcing that Facebook AI has built and open-sourced Blender, the largest-ever open-domain chatbot. It outperforms others in terms of engagement and also feels more human, according to human evaluators. ai.facebook.com/blog/state-of-…

If we do what we should, it’ll feel like we overreacted. Please do it anyway.

I loved Muddy Waters :’(

This is awesome!

Vote.

v1.6: native mixed-precision support from NVIDIA (~2x perf improvement), distributed perf improvements, new profiling tool for memory consumption, Microsoft commits to developing and maintaining Windows PyTorch. Release Notes: github.com/pytorch/pytorc… Blog:pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-1…

🚨 NEW MODEL ALERT 🚨 Translate text to, or between 50 languages with mBART-50 from @facebookai ! 🇺🇳 One-to-Many model: translate from English to 49 other languages ↔️ Many-to-Many model: translation btw any pair of 50 languages

Our preprint for AddBiomechanics is out!

My thoughts on the big problems exoskeleton research, and how I'm trying fix them: medium.com/@keenonwerling…

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

Having left NLP for a few years, I’m blown away by ChatGPT. I think “search” may be a misleading UI metaphor, though. My mental model is it’s like posting questions to Reddit/Stack Overflow/Quora/etc, except you get a “helpful stranger response” instantly.

AddBiomechanics: Automating model scaling, inverse kinematics, and inverse dynamics from human motion data through sequential optimization biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

We have a new pre-print: "Simulated musculoskeletal optimization for sprinting and marathon running". biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab at Stanford With Jennifer Hicks, Scott Delp and Karen Liu!

.Keenon Werling will present a webinar on AddBiomechanics, a free tool for processing and sharing motion capture data. Learn more about the validation, new inverse dynamics features, data sharing vision, and hands-on tutorial. September 20, 2023, 9am PDT tinyurl.com/4h4xdhnk

Major updates to AddBiomechanics.org are now live! Biggest new features are support for very long trials, support for overground trials with lots of steps off of force plates, and a much faster web UI.

You've been asking for it... Soyong Shin has put trained the #WHAM model on-line. Please give it a try for capturing 3D human motion and let us know how it goes. github.com/yohanshin/WHAM
