AI poised to usher in new level of concierge services to the public

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Concierge services built on artificial intelligence have the potential to improve how hotels and other service businesses interact with customers, a new paper suggests. In the first work to introduce the concept, researchers have outlined the role an AI concierge, a technologically advanced assistant, may play in various areas of the service sector as well as the different forms such a helper might embody. Their paper envisions a virtual caretaker that, by combining natural language processing, behavioral data and predictive analytics, would anticipate a customer's needs, suggest certain actions, and automate routine tasks without having to be explicitly commanded to…

Multiscale Vision Transformer for Video Recognition

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
Vision transformers are already good at multiple tasks like image recognition, object detection, and semantic segmentation. However, we can also apply them to data with temporal information like videos. One such use case is using Vision Transformers for video classification. To this end, in this article, we will go over the important parts of the Multiscale Vision Transformer (MViT) paper and also carry out inference using the pretraining model. Figure 1. An example output after passing a bowling video through the Multiscale Vision Transformer model. Although there are several models for this, the Multiscale Vision Transformer model stands out for…
