By Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterA team of researchers at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) yesterday unveiled artificial intelligence (AI) tools for making audio and visual materials for advertisements, saying it could help businesses save time and costs. Through a government-funded program, the team spent two years developing AI tools that use deep-learning models and social media analysis to produce images with designated objects and context, he said. Liu Yi-wen (劉奕汶), an associate professor of electrical engineering, also develops tools for mimicking human voices to sing songs. The AI toots, he said, could help small and medium-sized businesses save money on ad development. The team is in discussion with Asustek Computer, United Microelectronics and KKBOX, as well as startups, about technical cooperation.
