By combining the outputs from these towers, the system can make more accurate predictions or generate more natural responses than if it had only used a single type of input. The Zipformer paper and the Towards Multi-Task, Multi-Modal Models for Video paper provide additional context on how multimodal fusion can be applied to speech recognition and video analysis, respectively. Overall, the Zipper approach aims to help AI systems better understand and utilize the rich, complementary information available in different types of data, leading to more powerful and versatile AI applications. The Zipper paper presents a novel multi-tower decoder architecture for fusing multiple input modalities, such as text, audio, and video. The key innovation is the use of separate decoding towers for each modality, which are then combined to leverage the strengths of each. The architecture consists of an encoder that processes the input data, and multiple decoder towers that specialize in different modalities.
And like that city’s 20-year, multibillion-dollar effort to move major highways underground, Gantz said it wouldn’t be easy. However, vendors that provide end-to-end products and services that help companies integrate technology can help, according to IDC analyst Crawford Del Prete. One possible solution to the complexity problem is Web services, he said. But he cautioned that companies must concentrate on standards like Simple Object Access Protocol and XML to make Web services work. “Focus on standards, or it’s going to be a fool’s errand,” Del Prete said. Another growth opportunity for the industry is utility computing, or the ability to seamlessly access and scale computing capacity on-demand and across geography, applications and operating systems, according to Del Prete. “Utility computing is the next big transition, but it will be a long time before we are there,” he said. However, he said, companies can cash in by moving forward with utility computing, as IBM and Sun Microsystems Inc. are doing with their on-demand computing and N1 strategies, respectively.
7. Decorate the t-shirt by drawing a five-pointed star on the chest. 8. Use a series of connected curved lines to enclose the hair, beginning on one side of the head and culminating at the opposite arm. 9. Detail the face. Enclose a large curved shape to indicate the mouth. Use curved lines to enclose the teeth and tongue within it. Draw large ovals to form the eyes, with smaller shaded ovals inside to indicate the pupils. Use curved lines to enclose the eyebrows and to indicate the nose. Color your character. His shirt and sandals are pink with a yellow star, his jeans blue. Then, check out our characters drawing guides for more cartoon fun.

While slide-on shoes and slippers tend to be easier with RA, you may still need to put on dress shoes, boots, or sneakers. A long-handled shoehorn designed for arthritis might help. Aside from devices that may help you eat, groom yourself, and get dressed, other aids might make everyday tasks easier. Reaching tools are useful for picking up items easily and supporting your hands while cleaning. Look for long-handled grabber-reachers. Kitchen aids might help you open cans, bottles, and jars. Smart home options, such as light switches and thermostats, are designed for you to control them with your smart device. Ask your doctor if they have product recommendations. You can find many of these tools from online retailers too. When you experience RA pain in your hands, consider getting supportive items to help you complete everyday tasks with less pain. These can include compression gloves made to reduce inflammation and a variety of assistive devices. You may also consider telling your doctor about tasks that may be uncomfortable due to hand and finger joint pain. In addition to your treatment plan, they may refer you to an occupational therapist for support.
Hey everyone! I’ve used Blender off and on for around 7 years, but never anything serious and don’t really have anything to show for it. I’ve decided that I want to actually improve on my modeling, so I’ve started working on a model of the pokemon Ampharos. I’m using Cycles for the first time. 300 samples. (Arbitrarily picked it, but seems to look fine). I plan on rigging it and creating a full scene, but for now I just have a couple emission planes (one blue, one orange) and a platform for it to stand on. I’ve noticed in a lot of people early renders they have a plane that curves up to create a back wall… I like this effect. What is the best way of achieving that? Any criticism is MUCH appreciated! To easily create a curved backround/wall/floor, go into Edit Mode and subdivide it several times. Then select only the back two rows of vertices and turn on proportional editing.
