    Google Photos adds Auto frame, using generative AI to change the viewpoint within a photo

    Google Research has announced a way to adjust viewpoint after a photo is taken in Google Photos' Auto frame feature. It treats the photo as a 3D scene and automatically changes the virtual camera position and focal length. The two-step method first uses an internal 3D point-map estimation model to reconstruct people and faces and estimate the original camera focal length, then uses a generative latent-diffusion model to fill blank areas revealed by the new view. For photos with people, the feature now automatically offers a second, reconstructed version that can correct perspective distortion in wide-angle selfies.

    Why it matters: Google Photos combines 3D-scene estimation with generative inpainting, showing how a new post-capture viewpoint-editing workflow is implemented.

    Google Research evaluates how closely LLM behavioral tendencies align with humans

    Google Research proposes a framework using situational judgment tests (SJTs), adapted from psychology scales, to assess how closely LLM behavioral tendencies align with human consensus across four traits including empathy and emotional regulation. A large-scale analysis of 25 LLMs finds two kinds of gap: models' tendencies can diverge from annotator consensus, and models may fail to cover the range of human opinions when there is no consensus. Small models under 120B and frontier closed models align nearly perfectly when humans unanimously agree, but alignment levels off just above 80% when consensus is below 90%.
