#deepfakes and #computervision on Memorial Day...! For those that served and sacrificed...thank you! My long weekend has been filled with writing and coding my way through my #praxis research questions. With deadlines looming, there is no rest for the…lnkd.in/giqp9H8a

Is it just me, or do you find yourself thinking about #data and #machinelearning ROI - like a lot? Generating the insight is one thing, but driving decisions, actions, and investment #roadmaps from that insight is quite another. I mentioned recently that…lnkd.in/gXzb_HrV

It never hurts to review what you think you know! I was recently looking at #nlp materials from Databricks and was reminded of two very important principles - a) #machinelearning models are all about the data, and b) #cybersecurity matters. The first po…lnkd.in/gZgCUp_3

All this chatter about #chatgpt got my #deepfake juices going... Wouldn't it be nice if I could discern #chatgpt content from original content? Apparently, I'm not the only one thinking about this use case, as #startups are racing to establish their pres…lnkd.in/gKSqYxcE

Will the writing ever stop? For anyone thinking about becoming a #engineering #doctoralstudent, you will eventually feel like this. The #praxis #writingprocess is definitely a never-ending story. What will I ever do with all of my free time? 🤣 Let's…lnkd.in/g5MReVZV

I've used 🐍 Matt Harrison's book in a previous #python class, and frankly, I was happy to recommend it again to my students. Whether you are new to #programming or a seasoned veteran, there is always more that you can learn and apply in your daily practi…lnkd.in/gubeSYS5

You know the game - have you ever? I recently asked that question at 2.30 am while trying to debug a #keras script that wasn't playing nice. After all, I had spent a previous weekend working through the #lime #image #python library...I didn't need to exp…lnkd.in/g6xV3sC6

Sometimes getting your Python script to work takes lots and lots of #persistence! Earlier in the week that was me with #googlecolab and #lime, the #python library for #image visualization and #feature explanation. This image may not look like much, but…lnkd.in/gC6ZMD9D

As if we needed any additional evidence! Even in the world of #deepfakes, #exploratorydataanalysis manners. Frank et al. (2020) provide a wonderful example of what can be learned when applying #dct to #GANproduced images. Often with transformed image dat…lnkd.in/gRNBkp96

Friday night lights? It's not high school football season. What's a #doctoralstudent to do? How about Friday night #literature reviews? That works great, right? 😂 Admittedly, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but there is so much #learningandgrowing.…lnkd.in/gW-2YdsC

To Discrete Fourier Transform or not? That is the question. In the world of #imageclassification, it's an interesting question. After all, there are many options - #vgg family of models, #resnet, #densenet, etc. Let's throw Discrete Cosine Transform in…lnkd.in/gBxnsqvy

It's all about the #deepfakes. #FakeCatcher, #chatgpt, #dalle, #imagen, and this recent news suggests #deepfakes will be a part of our #aifuture whether we are ready or not. #detection will be critical to any #cybersecurity strategy. To be fair, there…lnkd.in/ga3Kt4Xj

Short and sweet is just how I like it when it comes to #deepfake research papers! Kudos to Durall et al. (2019) for providing a #github repo and a paper outlining their work. I've been knee-deep in #image #fouriertransform recently, so seeing their #DFT…lnkd.in/g6ZrufDB

These #deepfakes will not leave me alone! Massive shoutout to the researchers at NVIDIA who were kind enough to offer the #datascience community a high-quality set of image datasets for #deepfake model building. Here's one vote for #cybersecurity deepfa…lnkd.in/gxkBWYdg

Back at it this weekend with the #deepfakes and #deeplearningalgorithms. I mentioned recently an exciting area of #cybersecurity #research happening with image #frequency analysis and #ai. Robinson and Kecman published this research in 2003. There are m…lnkd.in/g2376MVp

Nothing quite like giving back, especially on #MLKDay2023. Thanks, Abbott, for giving your employees PTO to make a difference in our communities. #abbottproud lnkd.in/grzWhrrE

I'm knee-deep in #deeplearning #computervision #filtering techniques. Why? #deepfakes can be classified based on frequency (changes in colors resulting in an edge or boundary). Life of the #doctoralstudent. No Sunday night #football for me! #gwu #cybe…lnkd.in/gFPdf_cw

Excited to be attending the #elcgala with several Abbott colleagues. #abbottproud lnkd.in/gNBw4gMH

Reading is fundamental! It doesn't matter what topic. Just the very act of grabbing a book, magazine, newspaper, or device seems to energize the #synapses. I especially connect with topics related to my #professional journey, which recently led me to The…lnkd.in/grk6Gx_8

Let the #praxis research begin! The next 12 -18 months should be fun. Life of a #doctoralstudent at The George Washington University! #influenceops #deepfakes #computervision #ai lnkd.in/gJ8TGf9w
