and restore old 00:03 black and white images and even film 00:05 footage 00:06 this method is called de-aldefy and 00:09 works on pretty much 00:10 any picture if you don't believe me you 00:13 can even try it yourself for free as i 00:15 will show in the video 00:17 but first let's see how it works and 00:19 more amazing results to convince you to 00:22 try it 00:25 [Music] 00:29 this is what's ai and i share artificial 00:31 intelligence news every week 00:33 if you are new to the channel and want 00:34 to stay up to date please consider 00:36 subscribing to not miss any further news 00:40 the aldephi is a technique to colorize 00:42 and restore 00:43 old black and white images or even film 00:45 footage 00:46 it was developed and is still getting 00:48 updated by only one person 00:50 jason antique it is now the 00:53 state-of-the-art way to colorize black 00:55 and white images 00:56 and everything is open sourced but we 00:59 will get back to this in a bit 01:01 first let's see how he achieved that it 01:04 uses a new type of gun training method 01:07 called nogan that he developed himself 01:09 to solve the main problems that appeared 01:11 when training using a normal 01:13 adversarial network architecture 01:15 composed of a discriminator and a 01:17 generator 01:18 typically gun training works by both 01:21 training the discriminator and generator 01:23 at the same time 01:24 where the generator starts by being 01:26 completely random 01:27 and improves over time to fool the 01:29 discriminator 01:30 which tries to tell if the image is 01:32 generated or real 01:34 if this was just completely abstract to 01:36 you i invite you to watch the video i 01:38 made about cans 01:39 in the upper right corner right now and 01:41 linked in the description 01:43 before continuing this video his new 01:46 method 01:46 which he calls the nogan provides the 01:49 same benefits of this usual gun training 01:52 while having to spend way less time 01:54 training the gan architecture 01:56 which is typically pretty heavy in 01:58 computation time 01:59 instead he pre-trains the generator to 02:02 make it already more powerful 02:04 fast and reliable using a regular loss 02:07 function 02:08 this is done by training the generator 02:10 like a regular deep networks 02:12 architecture 02:13 such as resnet that way the model is 02:16 already pretty good at colorizing an 02:18 image 02:18 before training the complete gan 02:20 architecture 02:22 then it only needs a short amount of 02:24 this typical generator discriminator 02:26 gan training to optimize the realism of 02:29 the generated pictures 02:32 gaussian noise is also randomly applied 02:34 to images to generate 02:36 fake noise during training this is a 02:39 type of data augmentation that can be 02:41 performed on the training images to 02:43 improve the results and resistance 02:45 to noisy inputs using the same technique 02:48 as style transfer where the noise will 02:50 be the style of the image we want to 02:52 copy 02:53 and can be applied more or less to the 02:55 transformation 02:57 the whole architecture uses a basic 02:59 resnet backbone 03:00 on a u-net where the generator network 03:02 in the gun training 03:04 is the unet architecture right now 03:07 there is no complete explanation of how 03:09 this works 03:10 but the author is currently working on a 03:13 paper about 03:14 the aldephi where he will further 03:16 investigate 03:17 why and how his technique previously 03:20 found only by trials and errors 03:22 work you can find three things in the 03:25 description of the video 03:27 at first there's the github link with a 03:30 complete detailed explanation of the 03:31 technique and even google collab 03:33 tutorials 03:34 to use it yourself just look at how 03:37 simple this is 03:38 you can just run the few sections enter 03:41 the link of your image 03:43 and run it 04:04 then you can find a free api on deep ai 04:08 using dl defy where you can simply click 04:11 and try yourself 04:13 finally the third link is the most 04:15 advanced version of the aldify if you 04:17 are looking for the best results 04:20 it is on myheritage's website and is 04:23 paid to use 04:24 let's just take a minute to see how it 04:26 works on old movies before ending this 04:40 video 04:50 you better get on the job some of the 04:52 kids may be up this afternoon 04:53 oh jack we can get along without 04:55 dragging those young kids up here oh why 04:57 don't you button up your lip 04:59 you're always squawking about something 05:00 you got more static on the radio 05:07 please leave a like if you went this far 05:09 in the video 05:10 and since there are over 90 of you guys 05:13 watching that are not subscribed yet 05:15 consider subscribing to the channel to 05:17 not miss any further news clearly 05:19 explained 05:20 thank you for watching 05:23 [Music]

What is Lympo? The fitness and wellness industry has seen a major boom since the wide adoption of smartphones. Nowadays most people don’t just work, many also track their progress through the use of their smart phones, wearables and accompanying fitness apps. Although this data is being willing collected by millions of users around the world, much of it is not yet being leverage. However, Lympo employs blockchain technology to make it possible for users to monetize their data, and make it available to all those in the health and fitness industry who may be able to utilize the information of a wide range of applications. In 2016 the number of mHealth apps more and doubled, and the number of app store downloads tilled up to a massive 3.2 billion. This adds up to a lot of a data, data that is currently, for the most part, going unused. Lympo aims finally leverage this data by allowing everyone, from personal trainers, gyms, sports apparel and healthy food producers to health insurers and even companies looking to incentivize employees to maintain an active lifestyle, the opportunity to benefit from the cross-platform fitness and wellness data exchange. What problems does Lympo solve? Currently all the data collected by the large number of different mHealth apps is not cross compatible and prior to the development of Lympo, there exists no single platform where users can go to access such data. Lympo provides the means of interconnecting these existing apps, as well as any future apps, and also introduces a reward mechanism that encourage users to share their data, and participate in the maintenance of the platform. Market segmentation and lack of incentive to integrate leaves a large gap in the market. Resolving these issues would lead to the development of new wave of applications and services that could dramatically improve the health and fitness industry, provide better analysis and results for data-driven sports, and also improve medical care, and insurance policies. How does Lympo work? Lympo utilizes the anonymous, distributed architecture of the blockchain to manage the exchange of data and securely store transaction records. This allows users to access all data generated on the network, and a record of all previous transactions of data exchanged is stored on each users system. Personal health data is not stored on the blockchain itself, instead it is kept on servers, or nodes, thorough the peer-to-peer network. The blockchain only serves as the payment and processing tool to transact the exchange of data. All data on and off-chain is encrypted when storing, exchanging and viewing. The end-to-end encryption can only be unmasked when two trusted parties approve. Transactions are carried out by smart contracts that are tied to the blockchain in order to execute specific actions when certain conditions are met. This replaces the function of most middlemen and intermediary services, thus reducing the need for human input and in turn, lowering costs as well as the risk of errors. User generated data can be complied from many resources including smart phone health apps, hospital and medical records, an gyms/fitness centers where clients are tracked with wearables and other electronic fitness devices. Technology behind Lympo Lympo will initially unit more than 500 fitness professionals, and later expand to incorporate a large network of sports, health and wellness goods and services providers. User-generated, user-controller data from mHealth and fitness apps will be exchanged using a predetermined value of LYM utility tokens. The goal is create an ecosystem within which all participants are rewarded fairly. Lympo consists of three major modules, the marketplace, the user-reward system and the crowd funding platform, as well as three components, the Lympo platform, the blockchain, and the user community. The three core modules are: : This will contain listings of all goods and services on the platform, it will also allow for premium listings, as well as aftersales add-ons like reminders and health advice. It will serve as the market entry tool for the user-generated data with the goal to expand with more partners accepting LYM tokens. The marketplace : Users are rewarded in LYM tokens for sharing their data with others. A unique feature of the rewards programs allows personal trainers and coaches to incentivize clients to meet targets and receive tokens for their efforts. The user reward system : This is the investment platform that enables LYM token holders to invest promising fitness/wellness/health start-ups. Opportunities will receive rating from major sports, health and fitness, and wellness market players, access to the large database will also help immediately get new ideas, products and services into the hands of potential customers, clients, users, etc. Crowd funding platform Three main components are: : These are the core components, developed by the Lympo team and partners that form the platform itself. Lympo Platform : Lympo is built on the Ethereum blockchain, and uses smart contracts to exceute transactions, LYM tokens to fund transactions and ties in crypto wallets for use on the platform. Blockchain : The community is made up of activate members who become part of the ecosystem to find trainers, partners, make agreements, share data and get rewarded. User community Actors (Users) on Lympo The platform is geared towards all health conscious people, who may choose to use the system as one of 4 types of ‘actors’. Depending on the user position in the market, be that as a company, head of a sports team/facility, or as an individual wishing to get more out of their workout regime. Actors on the Lympo platform may include: Data Owners Individuals who want to improve their physical condition, share their data and be rewarded for doing so. These users will create most of the data on the network, and retain full control over it. Trainers/Physicians/Sports Inventory Makers/Gyms Trainers and physicians will also be able to utilize user data to help meet targets and to construct more effective workouts. In addition they will be able to create reward programs to incentivize clients to meet their targets. Date Proxy Companies Using the Lympo API third-party companies will be encouraged to developed additional solutions for fitness/wellness data aggregated by the platform. These data centers may not use the data themselves, but would instead act as a resource for others to easily obtain data. Data Processing Companies Another third-party actor on the platform, data processing companies serve to analyze the data to detect habits and trends and to proposed new ideas or better processes for a range of health related programs. They may also utilize the open API to develop solutions, however the team thinks it more likely that data proxy companies will be responsible for the development of solutions, whereas data processing companies will spend time devising new insurance plans and more convenient pricing models for other subscription services. Security Measures Although fitness and wellness data is not as sensitive as medical records, and thus does not fall under HIPAA legislation, the platform still boasts the highest-level of security using the latest cyber practices. All data on the platform is encrypted using a modern algorithm, and all communications are protected by TLA. The database is only open to a select few with access credentials, who will be audited and rotated often. Periodic checks will be made on the system to identify and possibly prevent any technical issues. The database will be backed up in a timely manner, and the team will also establish a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) to assist in the event of any serious problems. Data will be sorted on HIPAA compliant cloud hosted servers from service providers such as AWS, and security measures will be built-in from the ground up. The system architecture will also undergo periodic audit and testing by security experts looking to uncover bugs and other potential issues. Finally, security measure will be extended to all users of the platform, who may take the opportunity to enter the private bug-bounty program in which white-hat hackers may ‘attack’ the system to detect any problems not picked up by the team and security auditors.
