SK Telecom in South Korea has developed an image generation technology that allows artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically create group photos with various backgrounds and poses by simply inputting a profile photo.  The company plans to utilize the technology, which goes beyond the limits of existing AI's performance in recognizing people, to upgrade various services including its AI personal assistant, A Dot. According to the information technology (IT) industry on Thursday, SK Telecom researchers recently published a new image generation model called "Instant Family," which preserves the identities of multiple people relatively accurately and realizes text commands entered by users as group photos, on the pre-publication site Archive. The Archive is a place for researchers to showcase their work before it is published in a peer-reviewed journal. The paper opens with a group photo of seven of today's leading big tech figures in AI - Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, ...

 South Korean researchers have developed a technique to increase the fast-charging stability of silicon, which is being eyed as the next-generation battery electrode material. According to the Korea University of Technology and Education on Wednesday, silicon is in the spotlight as the next-generation electrode material to increase the mileage per charge of electric vehicles. However, batteries using silicon are facing difficulties in commercialization due to their lack of stability and rapid volume expansion, especially when charged at high speeds. A team of researchers led by Professor Soo-min Park of the Department of Energy, New Materials and Chemical Engineering at Korea University of Technology and Education, Professor Inho Nam of Jungang University, and Professor Hyunwook Lee of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) focused on the unique properties of potato starch, which is commonly encountered in everyday life. If you mix potato starch with a little wa...
