8 d. ago Interrupting encoder training in diffusion models enables more efficient generative AI

A new framework for generative diffusion models was developed by researchers at Science Tokyo, significantly improving generative AI models. The method reinterpreted Schrödinger bridge models as variational autoencoders with infinitely many latent variables, reducing computational costs and preventing overfitting. By appropriately interrupting the training of the encoder, this approach enabled development of more efficient generative AI, with broad applicability beyond standard diffusion models.

3 w. ago Advanced broadband optical signal filtering developed with chirped and tilted fiber Bragg grating

Optical signal transmission can be significantly improved by limiting the wavelength of transmitted signals. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a technique widely used in optical communication, sensing, and laser technologies for selectively blocking certain wavelengths of light. In optical fibers, FBG functions as a band-rejection filter that reflects specific light wavelengths, but allows others to pass unimpeded, offering advantages such as improved signal transmission quality, reduced signal loss, and high signal specificity for sensing applications.
