Yesterday's #StableDiffusion prompt was: "Unseen Academicals".

The results were the most diverse and furthest away from anything to do with the original #DiscWorld title that I've gotten so far 🙂 But on the other hand, the prompt is rather abstract ...

I am reaching the end of the DiscWorld title list and it might be time to take a break from DiscWorld and try something else for a few days?

I was a bit slower to complete the reading of the papers today — a bit of a distracted day. But at the end, posted about 9 papers in the cs.CV category out of a total of 60 new (and updated) papers on arXiv.org today ...

"Self-Supervised Learning Through Efference Copies. (arXiv:2210.09224v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)" — A paper which shows that the commonly used self-supervised learning approach of transforming each training datapoint into a pair of views, using the knowledge of this pairing as a positive (i.e. non-contrastive) self-supervisory sign, and potentially opposing it to unrelated, (i.e. contrastive) negative examples is an incomplete implementation of a concept from neuroscience, the Efference Copy (EC).

"Model soups to increase inference without increasing compute time. (arXiv:2301.10092v1 [cs.CV])" — A comparison of Model Soups performances on three different models (ResNet, ViT and EfficientNet) using three Soup Recipes (Greedy Soup Sorted, Greedy Soup Random and Uniform soup) and a new Soup Recipe called Pruned Soup with better performance.

(arXiv:2301.10056v1 [cs.CR])" — A paper discussing the limits of acoustic information leakage caused by structure-borne sound that perturbs the POV of smartphone cameras.

"Progressive Meta-Pooling Learning for Lightweight Image Classification Model. (arXiv:2301.10038v1 [cs.CV])" — A framework to make the receptive field learnable for a lightweight network, unlike the conventional efficient learning methods which ignore the role of the receptive field in neural network design, by using parameterized pooling-based operations.

"Transfer Learning for Olfactory Object Detection. (arXiv:2301.09906v1 [cs.CV])" — An investigation of the effect of style and category similarity in multiple datasets used for object detection pretraining. The paper discusses using object recognition as a basis for the indirect recognition of more complex and meaningful "smell" references such as gestures and spaces.

Note: Similar to another paper, the word "olfactory" in the title confused me. Is "olfactory" being used in a slightly different context in machine learning?

"ODOR: The ICPR2022 ODeuropa Challenge on Olfactory Object Recognition. (arXiv:2301.09878v1 [cs.CV])" — The challenge aims to foster the development of object detection in the visual arts and to promote an olfactory perspective on digital heritage. It appears that they concentrate on smell-relevant objects rather than using smell to detect objects ...

Note: The use of the word "olfactory" is a bit confusing, in my opinion, in this paper and one other which came out today.

In the 2023/2024 academic year, we're launching a new Master's in Cognitive Science at the University of Rijeka. It's an interdisciplinary research-intensive course in English, pedagogically innovative, comparatively cheap (both for EU and non-EU students), accredited, and in beautiful Rijeka!

Tusker is an excellent Mastodon iOS app that has just moved from beta onto the Apple app store. Check it out. It’s free. And it’s very good. #mastodon #Tusker

New call for pitches from MIT Technology Review, for our upcoming issue on #accessibility. We're looking for *big* swings: narrative features, investigations, essential profiles, and sharp essays at the general intersection of accessibility and technology.

Pitch deadline: Feb 3
Our rates range from $1-2/word.

This is the first time I've posted a pitch call to @Mastodon, so let me know if there are hashtags I should add or groups I should cc. #freelance #journalism #technology #a11y

It's raining on and off; little chance to indulge in gardening today.

Got a few photos and now back indoors just as rain picked up. It's more than a drizzle now - the plants seem delighted to be spared from cycles of frost and baking sun.
