New services unveiled on cultural-arts.com

In a groundbreaking move, the cultural-arts.com AI Team is thrilled to announce the trial versions of two innovative services derived from the Cultural-Arts project. These services aim to further enrich the user experience and expand the platform's capabilities.

  • Official cultural-arts.com app

    Accessible at cultural-arts.com/webapp/, this app app is intended to be the core app of cultural-arts.com. It takes advantage of cutting-edge technology to recognize and provide information about historical monuments, places and buildings. Users can explore the fascinating world of art by simply uploading images and receiving instant insights, including artist details, historical context, and other relevant information.

New "Services" Page on Official Site:

To streamline access to these services, cultural-arts.com has introduced a dedicated cultural-arts.com/services/ page. Here, users can find comprehensive details about the available services, their current trial versions, and insights into upcoming releases.

Development in Progress:

It's important to note that both services are still in the development phase. As a result, occasional glitches or limited functionality may occur during the trial period. The AI Team is actively working to refine and enhance these services based on user feedback.

Stay Informed:

Regular updates on the progress of these services, including bug fixes and new features, will be communicated through the official "Services" page and other communication channels.

This marks a significant step forward for cultural-arts.com as it continues to leverage AI technology to bring new dimensions to the appreciation and understanding of art. Users are encouraged to explore these trial services, provide feedback, and witness firsthand the future of art and technology seamlessly converging on cultural-arts.com.

AI-Shield v0: Safeguarding cultural-arts.com

Embarking on a new era, we introduce the first version of our AI-Shield model, sbrzz/cultural-arts-shield-v0, a pioneering initiative by the cultural-arts.com AI Team. Utilizing a fine-tuned MobileNetV2 architecture on our private dataset, this model serves as a powerful screening mechanism for uploaded images.

This model distinguishing images into "Accepted" or "Garbage." It effectively filters out irrelevant or malicious content before entering the core of our image-based system.

We're proud to support the open-source community, and the model is available on Hugging Face. The Model Card provides detailed insights, and the license information is accessible in the repository.

Stay tuned for updates as we enhance AI-Shield, ensuring a secure and enriching experience for users on cultural-arts.com.
