Pytorch VS mediapipe

TensorFlow, developed by Google, and PyTorch, developed by Facebook, are two of the most popular frameworks for building and training complex machine learning models. TensorFlow is known for its flexibility and robust scalability, making it suitable for both research prototypes and production deployments. PyTorch is praised for its ease of use, simplicity, and dynamic computational graph that allows for more intuitive coding of complex AI models. Both frameworks support a wide range of AI models, from simple linear regression to complex deep neural networks.

> does PyTorch have a similar concept

of course https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/utils/_py...

fyi should work on most 40xx[1]

Sure, right here: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/autograd/...

Here's the documentation: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/forward_ad_usage....

> When an input, which we call “primal”, is associated with a “direction” tensor, which we call “tangent”, the resultant new tensor object is called a “dual tensor” for its connection to dual numbers[0].

*My post explains Dot, Matrix and Element-wise multiplication in PyTorch.

In PyTorch with @, dot() or matmul():

import torch # we use PyTorch: https://pytorch.org data = torch.tensor(encode(text), dtype=torch.long) print(data.shape, data.dtype) print(data[:1000]) # the 1000 characters we looked at earlier will to the GPT look like this

AI's Open Embrace Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly leveraging open-source frameworks like TensorFlow [https://www.tensorflow.org/] and PyTorch [https://pytorch.org/]. This democratization of AI tools is driving innovation and lowering entry barriers across industries.

Which label applies to a tool sometimes depends on what you do with it. For example, PyTorch or TensorFlow can be called a library, a toolkit, or a machine-learning framework.

In PyTorch with * or mul(). ` or mul()` can multiply 0D or more D tensors by element-wise multiplication:

Today, we announce MediaPipe diffusion plugins, which enable controllable text-to-image generation to be run on-device. Expanding upon our prior work on GPU inference for on-device large generative models, we introduce new low-cost solutions for controllable text-to-image generation that can be plugged into existing diffusion models and their Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) variants.

You can just grab the TFLite version! https://github.com/google/mediapipe/blob/master/docs/solutions/models.md

I believe Google already released transformers under an apache 2 license with a patent grant:

I was going to say that I like the MediaPipe Selfie Segmentation model for doing this sort of thing in a web page, but I've just noticed (when getting the GitHub link[1]) that Google have marked the code as legacy[2] ... no idea if the new solution is better/easier to use[3].

For what it's worth, my CodePen using the old model is here: https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/PopBxBM

I have used mediapipe very successfully in multiple projects and it's very easy to get running. You can choose from many different vision tasks including hand landmarks ( https://github.com/google/mediapipe/blob/master/docs/solutions/hands.md )

I found MediaPipe's Face Mesh and was impressed with how simple it was to get going, but it just gives you the landmark points and I've not gone any further yet.

We've trained ControlNet on a subset of the LAION-Face dataset using modified output from MediaPipe's face mesh annotator to provide a new level of control when generating images of faces.
