Something different from my usual wild horses. Just got back from a trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. These sunrises made it worth getting up in the dark.

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).

(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.

"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?

(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!
