I am wondering what will be the academic papers at this year #CVPR2022 that show promising results that will have astounding results as a matter of scaling them up in #CVPR2025 — I will report here — Looking forward.

When we came up with this paper most work was focused on GANs — an even earlier auto regressive model for text to image synthesis was also at #CVPR2018 openaccess.thecvf.com/content_cvpr_2… — full 4 years earlier

Three years ago we showed seq-to-seq models could be used for text-to-image synthesis. In some way I’m glad to see new models are emerging in 2021/2022 where this idea is scaled up and combined with visual dictionary learning (ie. VQ-VAE, VQ-GAN, dGAN).

Look Mom No GANs: Text-to-image Synthesis as Machine Translation // Not the actual title of our paper but maybe should be. To be presented next week at #cvpr2019 in Long Beach, California.

Never met him but followed his work since I was student — pre-deep learning he was most well known for his work on detecting salient objects and haze removal. Rest in peace.

I was shocked to know that Dr. Jian Sun, my former colleague of the MSRA Visual Computing Group, has passed away. We will miss him dearly. May his soul rest in peace.

I was also wondering if Duolingo really works? I am still not sure if it’s the most efficient way but with persistence and for some languages it takes one very far. Add tutoring and media consumption in the target language and a high level of proficiency can certainly be achieved

About four years ago I decided that I needed to remind myself of the uncomfortable stage of being clumsy in a foreign language. By now, I am fully reminded of how it feels. I added a new language to my skills and now toward a fourth.

These are the moments that make academia worth it for me. Hearing about success stories from former students. Follow the work of Bristles.AI a startup using computer vision to help decorate your house wraltechwire-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/wraltechwi…

Last week my Twitter feed was all about AI/consciousness and this week is all about tenure. But no, I will not comment and surrender to the pressure of our recommendation and engagement AI engine overlords. Nice try.

When you learn new concepts in machine learning, try to understand them on an intuitive level. This blog from Distill is what made Momentum in SGD *click* for me. It's an interactive demo that allows you to see the effect of different hyperparameters on the outcome!
