Creating Artificial Avians: A Novel Neural Network Generates Realistic Bird Pictures from Text using Common Sense

Researchers in China have developed a new neural network that generates high-quality bird images from textual descriptions using common-sense knowledge to enhance the generated image at three different levels of resolution, achieving competitive scores with other neural network methods. The network uses a generative adversarial network and was trained with a dataset of bird images and text descriptions, with the goal of promoting the development of text-to-image synthesis.

Targeting cell’s own machinery in fight against COVID-19

Coronaviruses rely on the TOP3B enzyme as a host factor, researchers report. Using artificial intelligence and molecular modeling, researchers were able to identify drug candidates that could serve as TOP3B inhibitors. Studies are now underway to test the drug candidates against living cell cultures and viruses, including COVID-19.
