Warm enough to walk outside! And nice skies in #MiddleTennessee #SeenOnMyWalk

Having recently acquired a macro lens, I believe I'm contractually obliged to try and shoot some #mosstodon imagery. Here's my first candidate.

And that’s all for another day of paper reading — 7 papers boosted (out of a total of 91 today) in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org.

It feels as if I spent way more time on the 7 papers than I do on like 15 papers on other days, but that’s how it goes …

"ImaginE: An Imagination-Based Automatic Evaluation Metric for Natural Language Generation. (arXiv:2106.05970v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)" — An imagination-based automatic evaluation metric for natural language generation, which with the help of StableDiffusion, automatically generates an image as the embodied imagination for a text snippet and computes the imagination similarity using contextual embeddings.

This picture was accidentally taken with my iPhone 13 Pro. Being out in the country I wanted to take advantage of the lesser light pollution and get a clear image of the stars—only to get photobombed by the Milky Way. #photography

"ShiftDDPMs: Exploring Conditional Diffusion Models by Shifting Diffusion Trajectories. (arXiv:2302.02373v1 [cs.CV])" — A novel and flexible conditional diffusion model by introducing conditions into the forward process. The process utilizes extra latent space to allocate an exclusive diffusion trajectory for each condition based on some shifting rules, which will disperse condition modeling to all timesteps and improve the learning capacity of model.

@chrisvasselli Possible, these days (especially with SwiftUI) I’ve found that the error message isn’t always indicative of the actual issue 😛

@RamenCatholic We all think our thoughts are boring and everybody else has really interesting thoughts 😛 But I think what we (or at least some of us) really like is being able to share and to listen and perhaps have a conversation?

I think those are the people who thrive here because on Twitter it was all just noise. At least, in my experience …

"ReDi: Efficient Learning-Free Diffusion Inference via Trajectory Retrieval. (arXiv:2302.02285v1 [cs.CV])" — A simple yet learning-free Retrieval-based Diffusion sampling framework capable of fast inference, which retrieves a trajectory similar to the partially generated trajectory from a precomputed knowledge base at an early stage of generation, skips a large portion of intermediate steps, and continues sampling from a later step in the retrieved trajectory.

"Design Booster: A Text-Guided Diffusion Model for Image Translation with Spatial Layout Preservation. (arXiv:2302.02284v1 [cs.CV])" — A new approach for flexible image translation by learning a layout-aware image condition together with a text condition, which co-encodes images and text into a new domain during the training phase.

@samvarma Thank you for the tip, much appreciated 🙂Engadget is probably the one account I miss over here and hopefully, this will fix that. Will try it out and thank you @vincent 🙂

@samvarma Thank you 🙂 Didn’t know about either one but followed now. It’s good to have some tech news … But yeah, lots of communities are harder to find on here but I’m hopeful that in a couple of years, things will improve.

But then again, when I first joined Mastodon back in 2017 or 2018, things were even more sparse and I don’t think I lasted more than a week. This time around though, things seem different …

@RamenCatholic Not sure it’s really brave, I mean on my part 😛 Just that I sometimes feel the need to write and the only way to sustain writing, at least for me, is to have even the tiniest hope that somebody reads it. So I just put it out there and keep writing. Otherwise, I’d just be writing for myself and then there’s no need to write since it’s all in my head 😃
