“Shed no tear
O, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more
O, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root’s white core.” - from Fairy’s Song (Shed No Tear!) by John Keats.

James Forten was born a free man in 1766 in Philadelphia. During the Revolutionary War he was a powder boy on a sailing ship, only to be captured and then released by the British. He resumed employment as a sailmaker, going on to own the business and employ 38 people. He invented a new type of sail and made a fortune. He funded #abolitionist causes, purchased freedom for enslaved people, opened his home as an Underground Railroad depot & started a school for #Black children.

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.

"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.

"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.

My walk along the sewage runoff “creek” had surprisingly good birds today. This guy hangs out there frequently so is quite used to walkers and is unbothered by lookyloos!
