In this episode, Professor Maggie Zhu and her student Zhihao Duan describe the state of the art in AI codecs and their diverse applications. AI compression can be applied to video three ways: augmenting conventional video codecs, completely replacing a conventional codec and also to compress the AI models used for various video applications. They discuss how the proliferation of lightweight video-capable devices is driving new applications and changing the balance between encoders and decoders, and how their novel architecture can beat the state of the art. Watch / listen to see where the next generation of technology is taking us!
