Hi, I am Louis (loo·ee, French pronunciation), from Montreal, Canada, also known as What’s AI on YouTube or medium. I am focusing on making AI accessible. I explain AI technologies the best way I can and try to demystify the AI “black box” for everyone.
I now have my own website where I share articles 2 days earlier. I also have a newsletter where I share one paper per week, with everything about the paper, a video and article explanation, and the code. Follow my projects here by subscribing to Medium or through my newsletter below!

Artificial Intelligence
Time Lens can understand the movement of the particles in-between the frames of a video to reconstruct what really happened at a speed even our eyes cannot see.

I’m sure you’ve all clicked on a video thumbnail from the slow-mo guys to see the water floating in the air when popping a water balloon or any other super cool-looking “slow-mos” made with extremely expensive cameras. Now, we are lucky enough to be able to do something not really comparable but still quite cool with our phones. What if you could reach the same quality without such an expensive setup?
Well, that’s exactly what Time Lens, a new model published by Tulyakov et al. can do…

An AI For Creative Artists! StyleCLIP Explained

Watch the video and support me on YouTube:
Researchers used AI to generate images. Then, they could leverage it to take an image and edit it following a specific style, like changing it into a cartoon character or transforming any face into a smiling face. This needed a lot of tweaking and model engineering and many trials and errors before achieving something realistic. There have been many advances in this field, mainly StyleGAN, which has the incredible ability to generate realistic images in pretty much any domain; real-life humans, cartoons, sketches, etc.

Listen to this story…
If you wonder how a Tesla car can not only see but navigate the roads with other vehicles, this is the article you were waiting for. A couple of days ago was the first Tesla AI day where Andrej Karpathy, the Director of AI at Tesla, and others presented how Tesla’s autopilot works from the image acquisition through their eight cameras to the navigation process on the roads.
Tesla’s cars have eight cameras like this illustration, allowing the vehicle to see their surroundings…

Generative Adversarial Networks
Machine learning models can now generate new images based on what it has seen from an existing set of images. We can’t really say that the model is creative, as even though the image is indeed new, the results are always highly inspired by similar photos it has seen in the past. Such a type of architecture is called a generative adversarial network, or GAN. If you already know how GANs work, you can skip to the next section to learn what the…

Say goodbye to complex GAN and transformer architectures for image generation. This new method can generate new images from any user-based inputs.

Say goodbye to complex GAN and transformer architectures for image generation. This new method by Changing Meng et al. from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University can generate new images from any user-based inputs. Even people like me with zero artistic skills can now generate beautiful images or modifications out of quick sketches. It may sound weird at first, but by just adding noise to the input, they can smooth out the undesirable artifacts, like the user edits, while preserving the overall structure of the image. So the…

Using multiple machine learning-based algorithms running privately on your device, Apple allows you to accurately curate and organize your images and videos on iOS 15.

Listen to this story…
In a recent publication, Apple explained how they used machine learning to directly recognize people in private photos on their iPhones and iPads without having access to your images to train their algorithms.
For those of you with Apple products, you can actually research by the person in the Photos app.
Indeed, using multiple machine learning-based algorithms that I will cover in this article, running privately on your device, you are able to accurately curate and organize your images and videos on iOS…

Find out how this AI Generates Code From Words
Originally published on louisbouchard.ai, read it 2 days before on my blog!
You’ve probably heard of the recent Copilot tool by GitHub, which generates code for you. You can see this tool as an auto-complete++ for code. You give it the name of a function along with some additional info, and it generates the code for you quite accurately! But it won’t just autocomplete your function. Rather, it will try to understand what you are trying to do to generate it. It is also able to generate much bigger and more complete functions than classical autocomplete tools. …
