3D OBJECT DETECTION WITH DIFFUSION MODELS

Researchers have developed Diffusion-SS3D, a new method to improve semi-supervised 3D object detection using diffusion models. This approach involves adding noise to object size and class label distributions in 3D space and then using the diffusion model to denoise and generate better bounding box outputs.

SLOW-BURN AI: WHEN AUGMENTATION, NOT AUTOMATION, IS THE REAL THREAT

While automation will likely be the way of the future, today, it’s all about augmenting your existing processes/self without having to rip and replace everything. Don’t fall into the trap of just augmenting yourself to do your job better - thinking through what and how to automate things and viewing your role holistically will allow you to find the best use of AI for your needs.
