ID 05 · 2022–2023kedi.ai — AI Face Reenactment & Voice Cloning
Software that transfers motion from video onto a still photograph — bringing a portrait to life and giving it a voice.
kedi.ai uses a machine-learning model trained by monolab to transfer video onto photographs quickly, animating a still image and giving it a voice.
For the face animation, an autoencoder model was trained with transfer learning on 400,000 videos from the CelebV-HQ dataset, with the resolution raised to 512×512 and a masked upscaling module built on CodeFormer and GFPGAN. For voice cloning, an acoustic model and a vocoder were trained.
kedi.ai later animated the AI portraits of the Boyner Caddebostan art collection, where visitors chose the emotions on the faces.
In May 2023, HalkTV's morning programme Yeni Bir Sabah used photo animation and voice cloning made with kedi.ai in its report “Sahte videolar nasıl yapılıyor?” (How are fake videos made?).
