#February 1, 1844
#OTD Eduard Strasburger, #Polish-#German #Professor & #Botanist, is born.

In 1882, he coined the terms “#Cytoplasm” and “#Nucleoplasm.”

Six years later, he was the first person to observe #Chromosomes, and he did it using the glorious #Fritillaria imperialis or the #Crown #Imperial #Lily.

What a gorgeous subject for such an important discovery!

My Keith Hammett dahlia Protegee has just started flowering, and it's absolutely stunning. The bees are all over the flowers. #dahlia #flower #flora #gardeningnz #keithhammett

Every day I transfer one of my digital illustrations into coloured pencil drawings. This time:

Hi there 👋 I'm a prof at ITU #Copenhagen currently at #UW in #Seattle.

🔭 My research is on #nlp and #machinelearning. Specifically:

🛡️ Online harms: #misinformation, #hatespeech, #moderation etc
🌱 #Efficient machine learning: #energy efficient models, #climate friendly ML, #data efficiency

I guess I try to keep my profile here dry & work-related, but reality might creep in here and there :)

who did it best?

An abandoned house in Portugal. I venture up the creaking spiral staircase into the attic. The corridor ahead isn't too photogenic, I then back around to face then stairs. A beautiful pattern of radiating shadows cast by the balustrade 🖤

Some fun for your Tuesday! I present a trio of sheepy bums! I saw these three fuzz butts while hiking to Kvernafoss waterfall in Iceland. I couldn't resist snapping a pic! 😁 🐑

Oh my goodness. These #goldendewdrops are as visually brilliant IRL as in these pics.

I couldn’t walk past these without taking photos and sharing.

The purples bleeding into white and the subtle yellows within the centre ovary section of each flower is quite amazing.

It was a bit of a wow moment discovering this.

"Video Influencers: Unboxing the Mystique. (arXiv:2012.12311v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)" — A study and analysis of YouTube influencers and their unstructured video data across text, audio and images using a novel "interpretable deep learning" framework to determine the effectiveness of their constituent elements in explaining video engagement.

"Attend-and-Excite: Attention-Based Semantic Guidance for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2301.13826v1 [cs.CV])" — A process which intervenes in the generative process of diffusion models on the fly during inference time to improve the faithfulness of the generated images to guide the model to refine the cross-attention units to attend to all subject tokens in the text prompt and strengthen - or excite - their activations, encouraging the model to generate all subjects described in the text prompt.

"Grounding Language Models to Images for Multimodal Generation. (arXiv:2301.13823v1 [cs.CL])" — An efficient method to ground pretrained text-only language models to the visual domain, enabling them to process and generate arbitrarily interleaved image-and-text data. This approach apparently works with any off-the-shelf language model.
