Deep-Learning Realtime Upsampling Techniques in Video Games
Get PDFThis paper addresses the challenge of keeping up with the ever-increasing graphical complexity of video games and introduces a deep-learning approach to mitigating it. As games get more and more demanding in terms of their graphics, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain high-quality images while also ensuring good performance. This is where deep learning super sampling (DLSS) comes in. The paper explains how DLSS works, including the use of convolutional autoencoder neural networks and various other techniques and technologies. It also covers how the network is trained and optimized, as well as how it incorporates temporal antialiasing and frame generation techniques to enhance the final image quality. We will also discuss the effectiveness of these techniques as well as compare their performance to running at native resolutions
2023 Systemwide DEI Campus Climate Survey: Morris Campus Report
No full textTo assess current campus climate, the University of Minnesota conducted a systemwide, climate survey focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) during the spring 2023 semester. This survey was designed to help university leaders and campus communities develop baseline understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion by gathering information about faculty, staff, and students’ perceptions, experiences, and perspectives related to these topics. The survey aligns with the goals outlined in MPact 2025, the U of M Systemwide Strategic Plan and the Cambridge Hill Partners (CHP) Systemwide DEI report. The survey results will help inform current and future decisions to support a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community, and serve as a benchmark against which to measure change over time. As stated in our mission, the University “strives to sustain an open exchange of ideas in an environment … that provides an atmosphere of mutual respect, free from racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice and intolerance
Exploring Methods Used in Face Swapping
Get PDFFace swapping involves replacing the face in one image (the target) with a face in a different image (the source) while maintaining the pose and expression of the target face. Previous methods of face swapping required extensive computer power and man hours. As such, new methods are being developed that are quicker, less resource intensive, and more accessible to the non-expert. This paper provides background information on key methods used for face swapping and outlines three recently developed approaches: one based on generative adversarial networks, one based on linear 3D morphable models, and one based on encoder-decoders
Multipath TCP, and New Packet Scheduling Method
Get PDFToday many devices contain hardware to transmit data across the internet via cellular, WiFi, and wired connections. Many of these devices communicate by using a protocol known as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP was developed when network resources were expensive, and it was rare for a typical network-aware device to have more than one connection to a network. An extension to TCP known as Multipath TCP (MPTCP) was developed to leverage the multiple network connections to which devices now have access. While the MPTCP extension has been successful in its goal of using multiple network connections to send data simultaneously, MPTCP presents new challenges. Scheduling data to be sent across multiple network connections with varying network conditions can result in data arriving out of order, adding increased system overhead and network latency. This paper presents the challenges of MPTCP packet scheduling and summarizes a proposed solution that has been found to increase performance over existing MPTCP scheduling methods
