Beijing: Chinese Alibaba Group has released a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it says can read emotions. Alibaba has introduced the R1-Omni AI model, which reportedly surpasses OpenAI’s ChatGPT by offering the capability to interpret human emotions.
According to Qatar News Agency, in two demonstrations, researchers from Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab showcased the R1-Omni’s ability to deduce the emotional state of individuals in videos. The model also provides descriptions of their clothing and surrounding environment. This development represents an advancement in computer vision technology, as R1-Omni offers an additional level of understanding.
The R1-Omni model is an enhanced version of HumanOmni, another open source model developed by lead researcher Jiaxing Zhao. By building on previous work, R1-Omni aims to provide more comprehensive insights into human behavior and emotions through artificial intelligence.
