Learn More FaceMe: Robust Face Restoration with Personal Identification
FaceMe from Samsung Research is a technology that restores high-quality facial images from low-quality sources while preserving identity consistency. It utilizes the CLIP image encoder and the ArcFace facial recognition module to extract identity features from a reference image, and uses them as a prompt for the diffusion model to enhance the restoration’s performance. The training is conducted in phases using ControlNet and ID encoder modules, and wavelet-based color correction is applied for a final, natural-looking restoration. FaceMe does not require additional training for personalized restoration. Using a variety of reference images, this is a new approach that overcomes limitations of existing face restoration technologies. Find out more about FaceMe and its proven identity consistency, restoration quality, and high speed in the Samsung Research blog.

Learn more SOI: Scaling Down Computational Complexity by Estimating Partial States of the Model
As artificial intelligence advances rapidly, we have seen the development of increasingly sophisticated and powerful Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). While these models have achieved groundbreaking performance, their escalating size and computational demands render them impractical for resource-constrained environments. This issue is particularly concerning for real-time, energy-sensitive applications such as smart watches, augmented reality (AR) glasses, and wireless earbuds.
Samsung R&D Institute Poland introduces Scattered Online Inference (SOI), a novel approach that reduces computational complexity through partial state predictions and efficient compression by leveraging the inherent continuity and predictability of time-series data. SOI aligns with the growing demand for environmentally sustainable and economically viable AI solutions, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in compact, real-time systems.

Learn more EnsIR: Ensemble Algorithm for Image Restoration via Gaussian Mixture Models
Image restoration has seen significant progress over the decades and is now drawing more attention as various deep learning networks emerge. However, single models with different architectures or random initialization states exhibit prediction deviations from ground truths, resulting in sub-optimal restoration results. Ensemble learning has been applied to image restoration to address this issue, but most ensemble methods in image restoration require ensembles in the training stage. The ensemble strategy must be determined while training multiple models, so it sacrifices flexibility in changing models and the convenience of plug-and-play usage.
This article introduces EnsIR, an image restoration ensemble algorithm based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). This method formulates the ensemble problem, and ensemble weights are efficiently learned via the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, which is stored in a lookup table (LUT) to be utilized in the subsequent inference stage. This algorithm demonstrates better performance than regression-based ensemble methods and commonly used averaging strategies. It can be applied to various image restoration tasks. Learn more about EnsIR at the Samsung Research blog.
