Episode notes
Manipulating Latent Spaces
- Language and image models can be manipulated in their latent spaces for semantic control rather than pixel or token level changes.
- This approach enables new ways to edit and generate content by blending features in meaningful vector space rather than traditional representations.
Spatial Interfaces for Text Editing
- Visualization of high-dimensional latent spaces can be done using 2D slices mapped to meaningful attributes like sentiment or topic.
- Interactive spatial interfaces allow users to explore and manipulate semantic features intuitively, preserving edit histories.
Prototype for Insight and Utility
- Prototype interfaces early to understand their utility and identify improvements.
- Use prototypes both for research insight and for practical daily applications when technologies mature.
