@AndrewYNg @jyx_su I thought we were optimising research for good science, not passing a test? How do you know this doesn’t just pull everything onto the learnt distribution and can ‘see a new , novel idea for what it is?’. I hope this doesn’t go into practice..

Great work Jack! An impacting internship with a great cross org collaboration.

[Jack Saunders @jack_r_saunders]

I'm excited to share what I've been working on during my summer internship at @Microsoft . GASP creates photorealistic, real-time Avatars from an image or short video.
