Novel Image Captioning
When does a machine “understand” an image? One definition is when it can generate a novel caption that summarizes the salient content within an image. This content may include objects that are present, their attributes, actions, or their relations with each other. Determining the salient content requires not only knowing the contents of an image, but also deducing which aspects of the scene may be interesting or novel through commonsense knowledge. This video demonstrates the quality of the latest image captioning model (after) compared with the old model (before).

Outlining My Novel - Opening Image, Theme, Set Up #STCexperiment
I'm outlining my novel using Save the Cat Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody!
Watch last week's outlining writing vlog: Creating a Hero: http://bit.ly/2NN4nx5
We’re into week 2 of the #STCexperiment and this week is all about the opening image, theme and set up! Now I’d be lying if I said outlining came easily this week because...well...there were struggles. I still don’t have a firm grasp on my story but I’ve been able to make some real progress and flesh out the story just a bit more!
If you’ve been participating in the Save the Cat experiment, let me know in the comments below! I’d love to hear how it’s been going for you!

How to ADD IMAGES to your novel in WORD when formatting your novel from scratch (Formatting Part 6)
Adding regular images to your novel is simple, but adding images with the “bleed” feature (for maps, or chapter headers, or other images that might need to bleed to the edge of the page, can be a LOT more complicated. In this video, I’m sharing both how to insert simple images, as well as how to set up your novel with the “bleed” option so that the print on demand company will approve (instead of reject) your book for printing!

The Resurrection of Novel AI Anime Stable Diffusion
It has been about half a year since Novel AI Anime Stable Diffusion came out. The world of stable diffusion has moved on from the at the time amazing innovations that Novel AI provided, leaving the once trendsetter in the dust as an outdated model. However, recently Novel AI Anime Stable Diffusion got a huge update that added new Controlnet tools into the client for the folks still paying 25 dollars a month. So how are these new tools? Well I have been trying to find out for the past week.
hopefully I start uploading videos more often again, that was a long break that I didn't want to have...
Also I guess credit to limbus company as I used an image of Faust as an example for image 2 image.

Graphic Narratives from Early Modern Japan - Book Launch with Laura Moretti
Part of a formidable publishing industry, cheap yet eye-catching graphic narratives consistently charmed early modern Japanese readers for around two hundred years, from the late seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. These booklets were called kusazōshi (lit. “grass books”). Multimodal in essence, kusazōshi combine images and words asking the reader to negotiate the complex interactions of these different modes on the page. Meaning is created out of such negotiation. Graphic Narratives from Early Modern Japan: The World of Kusazōshi (Brill 2024) is the first English-language publication to investigate this textual typology in the round. Co-edited with Prof Satō Yukiko (The University of Tokyo) and featuring sixteen chapters written by scholarly giants in the field, this volume serves...

LIVENet: A Novel Network for Real-World Low-Light Image Denoising and Enhancement
Authors: Dhruv Makwana; Gayatri Deshmukh; Onkar Susladkar; Sparsh Mittal; Sai Chandra Teja R.
Description: Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is the process of improving the quality of images taken in low-light conditions while striking a balance between enhancing image illumination and maintaining their natural appearance. This involves reducing noise, enhancing details, and correcting colors, all while avoiding artifacts such as halo effects or color distortions. We propose LIVENet, a novel deep neural network that jointly performs noise reduction on lowlight images and enhances illumination and texture details. LIVENet has two stages: the image enhancement stage and the refinement stage. For the image enhancement stage, we propose a Latent Subspace Denoising Block (LSDB) that uses a lo...

Part of a formidable publishing industry, cheap yet eye-catching graphic narratives consistently charmed early modern Japanese readers for around two hundred years, from the late seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. These booklets were called kusazōshi (lit. “grass books”). Multimodal in essence, kusazōshi combine images and words asking the reader to negotiate the complex interactions of these different modes on the page. Meaning is created out of such negotiation. Graphic Narratives from Early Modern Japan: The World of Kusazōshi (Brill 2024) is the first English-language publication to investigate this textual typology in the round. Co-edited with Prof Satō Yukiko (The University of Tokyo) and featuring sixteen chapters written by scholarly giants in the field, this volume serves a dual purpose: it enables anyone new to kusazōshi to gain comprehensive knowledge of the field, while for the specialist it marks a turning point in scholarship, uncovering fresh research avenues. The appendix, which includes a complete bibliography of kusazōshi available in English translation, is an excellent starting point for any avid reader of graphic narratives who wants to discover kusazōshi but has no knowledge of classical Japanese.
In this book launch Laura Moretti selects what she views as the most thought-provoking lines of inquiry put forward by the contributors. These include an exploration of what is provocatively called “the aesthetic of the inconsequential” and ruminations on how kusazōshi align with but also differ from manga and comics. You will also have an opportunity to enjoy a selection of originals housed in the personal collection of the speaker.

Description: Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is the process of improving the quality of images taken in low-light conditions while striking a balance between enhancing image illumination and maintaining their natural appearance. This involves reducing noise, enhancing details, and correcting colors, all while avoiding artifacts such as halo effects or color distortions. We propose LIVENet, a novel deep neural network that jointly performs noise reduction on lowlight images and enhances illumination and texture details. LIVENet has two stages: the image enhancement stage and the refinement stage. For the image enhancement stage, we propose a Latent Subspace Denoising Block (LSDB) that uses a low-rank representation of low light features to suppress the noise and predict a noise-free grayscale image. We propose enhancing an RGB image by eliminating noise. This is done by converting it into YCbCr color space and replacing the noisy luminance (Y) channel with the predicted noise-free grayscale image. LIVENet also predicts the transmission map and atmospheric light in the image enhancement stage. LIVENet produces an enhanced image with rich color and illumination by feeding them to an atmospheric scattering model. In the refinement stage, the texture information from the grayscale image is incorporated into the improved image using a Spatial Feature Transform (SFT) layer. Experiments on different datasets demonstrate that LIVENet’s enhanced images consistently outperform previous techniques across various quality metrics. The source code can be obtained from https://github.com/CandleLabAI/LiveNet.
