    In computer vision, this is known as zero-shot learning, or zero-shot prediction, because the goal is to generate predictions without explicitly being given any example predictions to learn from. With the advent of high quality multimodal models like CLIP and foundation models like Segment Anything, it is now possible to generate remarkably good zero-shot predictions for a variety of computer vision tasks, including:

    Render a new living room using a controlnet model of your choice to keep the basic structure. Load the original living room image and look for the furniture you want to change with a Segment Anything Model to create a mask. Use that mask on the new living room to inpaint new furniture.

    Webinar from last week on how to fine-tune VFMs, specifically Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM).

    What you'll need to follow along the fine-tuning walkthrough:

    Images, ground-truth masks, and optionally, prompts from the Stamp Verification (StaVer) Dataset on Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rtatman/stamp-verification-s...)

    Download the model weights for SAM the official GitHub repo (https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything)

    Good understanding of the model architecture Segment Anything paper (https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/segment-anything/)

    GPU infra the NVIDIA A100 should do for this fine-tuning.

    Data curation and model evaluation tool Encord Active (https://github.com/encord-team/encord-active)

    Colab walkthrough for fine-tuning: https://colab.research.google.com/github/encord-team/encord-...

    I'd love to get your thoughts and feedback. Thank you.

    Yeah, they are great and some of the reason (up the causal chain) for some of the work I've done! Seems really fun! <3 :))))

    Facebook's Segment Anything Model I think has a lot of potentially really fun usecases. Plaintext description -> Network segmentation (https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything/blob/ma...) Not sure if that's what you're looking for or not, but I love that impressing your kids is where your heart is. That kind of parenting makes me very, very, very, happy. :') <3

  • How hard is it to "code" a tool based on segment-anything and Stable diffusion ?
    3 projects | /r/StableDiffusion | 13 Jul 2023
    There are some snippets of Python code on the segment-anything github readme that show how to do this. Once you have it installed you can import functions from the segment-anything module, load a segmentation model, and generate masks for input images that match the prompt of your choice. You don't need Stable Diffusion for this, but you could load it through diffusers to do things like inpaint your images using the masks.
