"Multi-Level Visual Similarity Based Personalized Tourist Attraction Recommendation Using Geo-Tagged Photos. (arXiv:2109.08275v2 [cs.MM] UPDATED)" — A geo-tagged photo based tourist attraction recommendation system which utilizes the visual contents of photos and interaction behavior data to obtain the final embeddings of users and tourist attractions, which are then used to predict the visit probabilities.

The worst thing about having your password stolen is having to rename the dog.

I’m thinking of writing a serialised story on here since Akkoma gives me plenty of space for writing. Maybe do something where each instalment is about a 1,000 words, accompany it with StableDiffusion images (or images generated by StableDiffusion that my wife modifies/tweaks — we talked about it, but still figuring out that part …) and do a part every few days or something?

I have a story brewing in my head which is perfect for this but just need to find the time. What with work and the AI papers, weekdays are kind of full and I really need the time for things to percolate properly if I want to write and it’s fun. So maybe write over the weekends and publish over the week?

Still thinking about this … It’s a fun story that both my wife and I have worked on for years, but this is a totally different take on that, and so essentially, a new story 🙂

Tusker is really coming into its own for me. I’ve done a bunch of changes to make it work better on macOS as a Catalyst app (mostly to do with remembering placement of the windows and such) and have added in notifications since I forget to check for new posts if there’s no badge on the app …

Still have a few things I’d like to fix but overall, I still like the app and how much easier it is to modify than most of the other Mastodon app code I’ve looked at recently.

So looks as if I’m going with Tusker and will continue to tinker with it. Most of the stuff I’ve added is rough and needs polishing but then I need to find the time to do that, don’t I? 😛

We're looking for a product manager for our digital archive data services at The National Archives (UK). Permanent, full-time (though job share and part-time also considered), hybrid working (2 days a month onsite usually the minimum), senior executive officer grade, £47,000 plus benefits https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?jcode=1836179 #DigiPres #DigitalPreservation

Hey Mastodon, I’m trying to help find someone doing research involving human facial EMG recording. (e.g. levator labii and corrugator signals) You know anyone? Heard any rumors?
