Excited to support ML in PL again – Poland’s leading ML conference 🚀

We're proud to announce our next sponsor - TCL Research Europe!

TCL Research Europe is a Poland-based R&D center developing advanced AI solutions for TCL — a global leader in consumer electronics and the world’s no. 2 TV brand. We offer exciting opportunities for LLM/ML researchers, both in Poland and through a wide range of LLM research residencies readily available in Shenzhen, China.

We are happy to share some of the AI model compression tools we have been working on for some time at TCL Research Europe 🚀 This includes two packages:
👉 torch-dag - a tool for pruning deep learning models in pytorch that should work off-the-shelf for a large number of computer vision architectures even without having their model source code! https://github.com/TCLResearchEurope/torch-dag
👉 ptdeco - a tool for model compression that uses low-rank matrix decomposition to decompose convolutional and linear layers in a neural network to decrease both FLOPs and the number of parameters https://github.com/TCLResearchEurope/ptdeco

We have extensively validated these approaches on computer vision architectures from the timm library: https://huggingface.co/timm
To see the results just check the documentation of the respective package.

We have used torch-dag extensively in countless internal projects, and it helped us compress models so that they can be deployed on edge devices. These projects included tasks like:
✅ semantic segmentation
✅ object detection
✅ keypoint detection
✅ depth estimation
✅ image denoising

It is worth adding that the ideas in torch-dag enabled us to win the Mobile AI Monocular Depth Estimation challenge where model latency was extremely important: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.04470

The pruned models (after fine-tuning) are available on HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/TCLResearchEurope

We're looking forward to collaboration with the open-source community!

We're proud and happy to announce that TCL Research Europe is the exclusive patron of the new "Machine Learning" master's program that just started at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw: https://www.mimuw.edu.pl/en/machine-learning-new-field-masters-programs

These master's degree studies (taught in English) enable students to acquire advanced knowledge and skills in the range of techniques used in machine learning, including statistical machine learning, deep neural networks, reinforcement learning, and finding explanations of the results obtained with help of machine learning procedures. They also make it possible to gain knowledge in the primary fields in which machine learning is applied such as visual recognition, autonomous devices control, and natural language processing. Owing to that, the graduates will be prepared to design, supervise, and critically analyse software projects in which machine learning plays a crucial role as well as to act as experts in the field of machine learning and take up leadership positions outside academia.

At CES2020 TCL presented some exciting new products - Vidrian Mini-LED 8K TVs, world's first TVs that can rotate vertically, THX gaming mode for TVs and many more.

Also, upcoming new flagship phones were teased - T10 Pro & T10 5G. Both will be officially released on MWC.

Our contribution were two interactive AI demos - photo animator and style transfer, both very popular among visitors :)

Last month at IFA'19 in Berlin, the largest European consumer electronics show, TCL shared some exciting new products including:
- TCL Plex - the 1st TCL branded mobile phone for which TCL Research Europe is developing some of its AI capabilities
- TCL TV with AI engine and a retractable camera allowing for AR gaming, video calling and many new useful computer vision applications
- Intelligent audio equipment - soundbars and headphones
- AR glasses (Project Archery)
- Foldable wearables

At the TCL exhibition, visitors could also try hands-on some of AI projects developed in TCL Research Europe. One of our demos showed the possibilities of augmented reality - our AI solution turned artificial still beer into an animated beer in real-time.

For those, who preferred a real beer, a TCL robotic arm was there to open cans and serve beer.

TCL Research Europe is honoured to have been the sponsor of the biggest international Deep Learning event organized in Poland this year – DeepLearn 2019. Over 1200 students and researchers took part in the summer school where renowned academics and practitioners from all over the world gave their lectures on the recent developments in the deep learning area. We have proudly contributed and presented results and research directions of our ongoing AI projects.

05/03/2019

Last week at , the largest exhibition in the mobile industry, TCL presented selected AI projects being developed by TCL Research Europe, China and Hong Kong:
1. Inpainting - reconstruction of missing, lost or deteriorated parts of images and videos.
2. Style transfer - rendering of an image in one of many artistic styles.
3. Scene detection - detection of scenes and objects in an image.
4. Image super resolution and denoising - quality enhancement of photos taken by mobile phones.
5. Dark shot - enables to take photos under extremely low light conditions.

We are working on many more exciting AI projects, stay tuned!
