There's already algorithms that can design molecules with a certain shape and algorithms that can search for a synthesis pathway. So you could theoretically feed the machine a series of images of a receptor and get a recipe for a drug targeting it out the other end.

The method is already available on GitHub. For commercial use, the authors say that Nvidia should be contacted. So it is a matter then of going through a sales process to generate interest between stakeholders, agreeing on pricing, and going through legal. Only then would a commercial agreement begin. And if the goal was a graphical interface you'd have to give ample time to develop this, bug test it, and run perception tests to ensure that it is user-friendly. It altogether takes a while and can explain the lag between the newest results and easy-to-use graphical programs like Topaz Labs. I work on a sales team for a commercial scientific image processing software. I suggest new ideas to our R&D regularly. Maybe 2%-5% of ideas are accepted and end up in the product. For these features (which are mostly low-effort high-reward due to cost considerations), it often takes 2-3 years. And that's when we already have an application and team to build the new feature in to.

Basically they developed a multiresolution input encoding that simplifies and allows to highly parallelize the task, taking full advantage of the GPU. They apply it to different techniques (NeRF, Neural Gigapixel Image, Neural SDF, and Neural Volume ). From the paper website: *_Instant Neural Graphics Primitives with a Multiresolution Hash Encoding_* _We demonstrate near-instant training of neural graphics primitives on a single GPU for multiple tasks. In gigapixel image we represent an image by a neural network. SDF learns a signed distance function in 3D space whose zero level-set represents a 2D surface. NeRF [Mildenhall et al. 2020] uses 2D images and their camera poses to reconstruct a volumetric radiance-and-density field that is visualized using ray marching. Lastly, neural volume learns a denoised radiance and density field directly from a volumetric path tracer. In all tasks, our encoding and its efficient implementation provide clear benefits: instant training, high quality, and simplicity. Our encoding is task-agnostic: we use the same implementation and hyperparameters across all tasks and only vary the hash table size which trades off quality and performance._ _Abstract:_ _Neural graphics primitives, parameterized by fully connected neural networks, can be costly to train and evaluate. We reduce this cost with a versatile new input encoding that permits the use of a smaller network without sacrificing quality, thus significantly reducing the number of floating point and memory access operations. A small neural network is augmented by a multiresolution hash table of trainable feature vectors whose values are optimized through stochastic gradient descent. The multiresolution structure allows the network to disambiguate hash collisions, making for a simple architecture that is trivial to parallelize on modern GPUs. We leverage this parallelism by implementing the whole system using fully-fused CUDA kernels with a focus on minimizing wasted bandwidth and compute operations. We achieve a combined speedup of several orders of magnitude, enabling training of high-quality neural graphics primitives in a matter of seconds, and rendering in tens of milliseconds at a resolution of 1920x1080._

So I am curious; can the AI transition past context knowledge to a current context knowledge, and retrain on the fly? For instance, if you see a painting of a woman and contextualize it as 'old painting of woman with no background'. Then, as you zoom in switch the context to the current frame and re contextualize 'old painting of woman's head'. So portrait -> head -> face -> nose and eye -> eye -> pupil -> retina -> optic nerve -> light sensing cells -> cell wall -> DNA At some point you are only providing that last context to the AI to create the new image from pre-trained understanding. i.e. you reach a point where you are not caring about the reference material anymore.

@@thegeekclub8810 I got it running just now. I'm on a GTX 1080 and it runs quite slow, but I can train the fox one and look around in low res. Works pretty well. Setting it up is quite impossible if you don't know what you're doing. But you can always try. I tried training one of my own datasets but it throws an error. Still working on that. edit: The GTX 1080 is probably much slower because it is not RTX . the Geforce RTX line of cards have tensor cores which are more optimized for this kind of job and my 1080 has none.

Its interesting how you have completely moved away from any attempt at explaining the papers you present. I suppose that makes sense for the 2-minute format; I always scroll to the results section first anyway. But a tiny bit more depth and context wouldnt hurt. I was assuming this papers content must be all about how to leverage a whole datacenter full of GPUs in parallel; but its even more mindblowing to see their abstract mentions a single GPU... now thats a bit of detail that would really add to the presentation of this work.

Mind blowing results

It’s incredible things have come this far. I’ve had fun playing around with Stable Diffusion, but I know that’s only a prelude to what we’ll see in the coming months and years.

We're at the point where it has all become magic to me. One program does all this?? How???

Yeah they give descriptions of a scene or draw primitive zones like this blob is water, this is land, this is trees, this zone is sky etc and a.i paints a picture. That is magic indeed. One upping that is telling a.i to do a task or write a program and it does it in a matter of minutes or hours.

Sir, your hype is both awesome and fully appropriate in equal amounts. I learned about NERFs only a few days ago. You don't exaggerate when you say that this was science fiction only four years ago. Back then, I intuited the possibility of AI photogrammetry - in the same way Star Trek intuites warp drive and the holodeck. And now - it is here. The tech straight out of my dream. What a time to be alive!

Wow this is INCREDIBLE! I mean, there's just no comparison between the 2-month old and 1-month old papers. Unbelievable how crisp and smooth everything comes out to be.

with that scene in paris i had an epifany about this being used in google maps🤯 imagine how much better it could become

Its becoming easier to accept we live in a simulation.

This is just amazing but, other than image compression, I fail to imagine how this technique can be integrated into existing software

Photogrammetry, self driving vehicles, and, an interesting and maybe not so feasible one, pre-rendering a complex scene and simplifying it to be displayed on lower end hardware using this technique. From what I read, it produces an SDF, which is super awesome because they're cheap to render and can offer a lot of mathematical meaning, e.g. with self driving vehicles

@@Hexcede yes it creates 3d models, but how would you integrate it into existing software would be a bigger challenge. 3d models to be used in applications need to be highly optimised as well (topology , different maps and stuff) I get that this has amazing and varied applications but I fail to see how it can be seamlessly integrated into existing software say blender or reality capture, unity, etc

@@SYBIOTE well obviously it would need other processes added to it. for say if you wanted to use this to create cgi characters. youd probably start with a person in minimal clothes, then add the clothes on top after. if you want it for map making, then youd remove everything you want to be interactive and model those objects separately, so the level, the walls, floor, etc is created using this technique, and you dont have to cut things out of the model. combine this iwth teechniques for removing the specific lighting condition and being able to use an in engine lighting, which weve already seen in other papers. these things are all literally just research papers. how they get applied to software that is end user friendly, even for professionals using complex software, is years down he line, and will likely require companies like weta to create them.

Wow this technology is amazing. I’m a boxing fan. I hope this can replay some classic fights viewing from angles. Thank you 🙏👍

This is incredible!!! The potentials in VR, AR alone ...

If it only takes 5 seconds to render a still object, and that same rendering speed is applied to each frame of an actor's performance filmed in 60 FPS from multiple angles, then each minute of footage should take about 5 hours to render. If you're a small game dev studio, that means that you can basically feed your dedicated workstation a few minutes of footage and leave it running overnight, and you'll get the final animated asset rendered in a day or two. What a boon this would be for Myst-like adventure games! EDIT: Actually, not even a day or two! If it takes 2 seconds per frame, then even five minutes of footage would be rendered in just 10 hours! You could leave it running overnight, and it would be done the very next morning!

It takes 5 seconds to train nn, and evaluation (rendering) is real-time. Acording to paper this animation (5:02) can run 133fps in 1080 on rtx3090

that would be quite heavy to replace your model on every frame of animation.

@@magen6233 Idk I did not red whole code yet. From what I read, I understand that synchronization is done with m_training_stream (for training) and m_inference_stream (for rendering) (these are cuda's streams and are used for runing kernels asynchronously). Whole magic happens in Testbed::NerfTracer::trace() function and train_nerf. I think that they are coping sth but for sure not every frame (update_nerf_transforms function, copy sth every training step).

Can't wait to see that reconstruction applied to the Google Street View or similar

Is it really rendering genuine 3d model from those images, like photo geometry does, or makes some sort of detailed map of viewing angle's and lighting of this object???

Holy cow This will improve virtual graphics like 100 folds

I wonder what the next big thing in AI after deep learning will be. The pace is already brutally insane. How fast will it be with even better methods

Wow this is so cool. What a time to be alive.

USE THIS ON THE PATTERSON BIGFOOT VIDEO! (The classic one for the 1970s)

I hope we can get a piece of demo software or even a retail product with this. Would be so cool to go and snap a bunch of pics, throw them on a gaming pc to make into 3d objects and environments.

I want this mounted on video call and the other side could move around virtually without have to be pointed on camera

This makes neural rendering in games so much better

Very helpful for indie game developers

Imagine adding a time component to this. It will be like reversing/forwarding time from an image. Like in the series DEVS

My mind and my papers are blown away.

This video was an absolute showstopper! I feel just like how I did when I first saw what AI was capable of!

imagining importing all the google maps drive-by photos into this AI

I'd love to see a desktop version of this

im looking forward to near instantaneous Camera based Photogrammetry

Utterly astonishing!
