With the introduction of SimVQA at #CVPR2022, @RiceCompSci PhD student Paola Cascante-Bonilla and the VisLang Lab at @RiceUniversity are teaching computers to answer questions about images.

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). – at New Orleans, LA
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.
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/conten… — full 4 years earlier – at New Orleans, LA
In today's afternoon session @pcascanteb will be presenting our work in the Vision and Language poster track: Poster 242b #CVPR2022 -- I will be around to network/talk to people while she presents -- Join us! – at New Orleans, LA
Thank you @ak92501 for having us!
This is my first #CVPR and also part of my first internship in industry @MITIBMLab, @IBMResearch!
Thanks for the great advice @HuiWu_, @RogerioFeris and my Professor @bluevincent, and the amazing work of undergrad student @DiegoWang51! 1/4
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.

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.ampproj…
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!
