Ever spotted someone in a photo wearing a cool shirt or some unique apparel and wondered where they got it? How much did it cost? Maybe you’ve even thought about buying one for yourself. This challenge inspired Snap’s ML engineering team to introduce Screenshop, a service within Snapchat’s app that uses AI to locate and recommend fashion items online that match the style seen in an image.

Classification and regression are two groups of supervised machine-learning algorithm problems. Supervised machine learning uses algorithms to train a model to find patterns in a dataset with labels and features. Regression estimates the relationship between a target outcome label and one or more feature variables to predict a continuous numeric value.

In today’s globalized world, the ability of AI systems to understand and communicate in diverse languages is increasingly crucial. Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing, enabling AI to generate human-like text, answer questions, and perform various language tasks. However, most mainstream LLMs are trained on data corpora that primarily consist of…

In Part 1, we discussed how to train a monolingual tokenizer and merge it with a pretrained LLM’s tokenizer to form a multilingual tokenizer. In this post, we show you how to integrate the customized tokenizer into the pretrained LLM as well as how to start a continual pretraining task in NVIDIA NeMo. Please import the following libraries before starting: After…

During the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) May 13-17 in Yokohama, Japan, many people will be discussing geometric fabrics. That topic is the subject of one of seven papers submitted by members of the NVIDIA Robotics Research Lab, along with collaborators, and featured at ICRA this week. In robotics, trained policies are approximate by nature.
