I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.
I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.
"Learning When to Say "I Don't Know". (arXiv:2209.04944v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" — A method to teach learning systems when they don't know something, or at least to identify areas of uncertainty. Perhaps this should be tried with ChatGPT and Bing to mitigate all the gaslighting? 😛
"SoK: Anti-Facial Recognition Technology. (arXiv:2112.04558v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)" — An analysis of the currently available Anti-Facial Recognition (AFR) research and the pros and cons of the different approaches.
"Team Triple-Check at Factify 2: Parameter-Efficient Large Foundation Models with Feature Representations for Multi-Modal Fact Verification. (arXiv:2302.07740v1 [cs.CL])" — Verifying facts across different modes (text and images) and types (claim and document).
"Video Probabilistic Diffusion Models in Projected Latent Space. (arXiv:2302.07685v1 [cs.CV])" — Generating high-resolution and coherent video using diffusion models.
"DiffFaceSketch: High-Fidelity Face Image Synthesis with Sketch-Guided Latent Diffusion Model. (arXiv:2302.06908v1 [cs.CV])" — Today seems to be the day for papers on turning sketches into realistic colour images using diffusion models 😛 This is another approach ...
"Text-Guided Scene Sketch-to-Photo Synthesis. (arXiv:2302.06883v1 [cs.CV])" — Creating a whole scene color image based on a sketch using generative models such as Stable Diffusion.
"Make Your Brief Stroke Real and Stereoscopic: 3D-Aware Simplified Sketch to Portrait Generation. (arXiv:2302.06857v1 [cs.CV])" — Creating photorealistic images of people based on sketches using 3D generative models.
"DiffFashion: Reference-based Fashion Design with Structure-aware Transfer by Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2302.06826v1 [cs.CV])" — Transfer the input image appearance onto images of items of clothing while not altering the structure of the clothing item.
"Multiple Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation in Dyadic Interaction Settings: What, Why and How?. (arXiv:2302.06514v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" — An attempt to generate appropriate behavioral responses to received stimulus and to evaluate the appropriateness of the generated responses.
"NYCU-TWO at Memotion 3: Good Foundation, Good Teacher, then you have Good Meme Analysis. (arXiv:2302.06078v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)" — Classifying the emotions and intensity expressed in memes using machine learning.
"Vector Quantized Diffusion Model with CodeUnet for Text-to-Sign Pose Sequences Generation. (arXiv:2208.09141v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" — Using diffusion models to generate sign language pose sequences based on spoken language.
"ChatCAD: Interactive Computer-Aided Diagnosis on Medical Image using Large Language Models. (arXiv:2302.07257v1 [cs.CV])" — Using Large Language Models (LLM) with Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) networks to enhance the output of CAD networks by summarizing and presenting the information in a more understandable format.
"Painting 3D Nature in 2D: View Synthesis of Natural Scenes from a Single Semantic Mask. (arXiv:2302.07224v1 [cs.CV])" — Using a semantic mask as input to generate photorealistic color images of natural scenes.
"Universal Guidance for Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2302.07121v1 [cs.CV])" — a universal guidance algorithm that enables diffusion models to be controlled by arbitrary guidance methods such as segmentation, face recognition, object detection, and classifier signals, without the need to retrain for that specific method.
Now that I've got a working workflow for StableDiffusion image generation again, I can finally get back to the long neglected #DiscWorld novel title series ...
Yesterday's prompt was: "I Shall Wear Midnight"
Not much DiscWorld-iness in the images, but they all were suitably dark to represent midnight, I guess 😛
"Exploiting Cultural Biases via Homoglyphs in Text-to-Image Synthesis. (arXiv:2209.08891v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" — An interesting look at how replacing Latin characters with non-Latin (visual) equivalents, generative models reflect cultural stereotypes and biases in their generated images.
"Dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates: a dataset for many-body physics research. (arXiv:2205.09114v2 [cond-mat.quant-gas] UPDATED)" — A dataset of over 1.6×10⁴ experimental images of Bose-Einstein condensates containing solitonic excitations to enable machine learning (ML) for many-body physics research.
"I²SB: Image-to-Image Schrödinger Bridge. (arXiv:2302.05872v1 [cs.CV])" — A new class of conditional diffusion models that directly learn the nonlinear diffusion processes between two given distributions.
"Heckerthoughts" — A manuscript going through the basic concepts central to AI and Machine Learning where the author claims that some concepts he included are missing from modern ML courses. Conversational style, anecdotal, and not too long at 54 pages. Worth reading …
