Spann3R, a 3D reconstruction system developed by University College London, utilizes a transformer-based architecture to create dense 3D models from images without prior scene or camera information. Unlike previous methods, Spann3R implements an external spatial memory to track relevant 3D data and predict the next frame’s structure in a global coordinate system. By leveraging pre-trained […]
In specific contexts, AI models require background knowledge. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances the AI model’s knowledge by retrieving information from a knowledge base and appending it to the user’s prompt, improving the model’s response. “Traditional RAG solutions often fail to retrieve relevant information due to removed context.” In response, a new method called Contextual Retrieval […]
