𝗠𝗖𝗠𝗟 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: Models like CLIP link images and text (“a dog playing with a ball” → 🐕 ⚽ 🌱) and enable zero-shot recognition. But they still struggle with fine details.
MCML members tackle this challenge with more fine-grained, language-guided image representations.

𝗠𝗖𝗠𝗟 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: Diffusion models like Stable Diffusion are powerful, but scaling them to large images or videos is still slow and memory-intensive. ZigMa speeds up processing of bigger images with less memory—while preserving visual quality and model expressiveness.

𝗠𝗖𝗠𝗟 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: Deep learning is increasingly helping doctors. However, it’s often hard to understand how these models make decisions.
To change that, #MCML members built SIC, a transparent AI classifier that makes image diagnosis both intuitive and reliable.
