Generative AI has made remarkable progress in revolutionizing fields like image and video generation, driven by innovative algorithms, architectures, and data. However, the rapid proliferation of generative models has highlighted a critical gap: the absence of trustworthy evaluation metrics. Current automatic assessments such as FID, CLIP, and FVD often fail to capture the nuanced quality…
Gboard, Google’s mobile keyboard app, operates on the principle of statistical decoding. This approach is necessary due to the inherent inaccuracy of touch input, often referred to as the ‘fat finger’ problem, on small screens. Studies have shown that without decoding, the error rate for each letter can be as high as 8 to 9…
