- Developments in object detection like Segment Anything for detecting objects in images - Unsupervised machine translation models enabling translation across 100+ languages without relying on English - Release of large language models Llama and Llama 2 openly this year - Research contributions leading to new AI products/experiences launched at Meta Connect
- New advancements announced:
- Ego-Exo4D combines first-person camera and external views to give AI models contextual perception - Audiobox generates audio using text/voice prompts for speech, sound effects, and soundscapes - Seamless Communication suite translates speech real-time while retaining tone/emotion
- FAIR attributes its success to assembling top researchers, embracing open science, and having the freedom to explore cutting-edge AI. Going forward, it aims to solve fundamental AI problems through techniques like foundation models over the next decade. Meta is uniquely positioned to build real-world AI products based on FAIR's research that can benefit billions.
