I mean the PDF reader that is contained in Zotero. Am I using the wrong terminology?

Some PDF readers have a Back button (like the built-in Zotero PDF reader).

Novel view synthesis, so based on some images of a scene, rendering views from positions and angles that were not originally recorded. 3D Gaussian Splatting, besides beating the state-of-the-art in terms of visual quality at its time of rel

I think these days we can quite reliably train robots to do single tasks from a few demonstrations. The problem is that "quite reliably" simply is not good enough for the real world. Also a "low-cost" system as presented

I guess generative AI using copilot or ChatGPT might overtake model-driven engineering as a time-saving technique, which seems worrisome for the "software factory" industry. At the same time, I doubt it will replace MDE as a forma

It's weird how mixed quality their books are, and how many overlapping books they have. From Packt I like Sebastian Raschka's books on Python Machine Learning. Other than that from time to time they do have some good "recipes

Weights are just numbers, essentially by using a neural network you are telling the system to "find the best way to represent the scene with a budget of X numbers/parameters". Modern NeRFs like instant-ngp also use some grid

When tables get too complex (e.g. generated columns using dataview) I switch to embedding subnotes using the ![[]] syntax and "clean embeds" CSS [1]. [1]: https://kool.casa/notes/dft1156nwrunrsma9dmyegh/

+1 for Obsidian, though until now I haven't felt the need to write actual papers in. Zotero + latexmk + vim + Skim/SumatraPDF mostly scratches that itch for me.

I'm not sure if it's truly a timeless paper, but "Attention is all you need" by Vaswani et al. has been super influential in recent years. Also "Deep Unsupervised Learning using Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics" b

In my experience NeRF tends to work better for objects that photogrammetry struggles with, like transparent objects. By using marching cubes you can also export scenes as a mesh. instant-ngp ( https://github.com/NVlabs/i

Neural Radiance Fields are a technique from the neural rendering research field, while photogrammetry is a research field on its own. However these are just turf wars and in practice there is a lot of overlap between both fields. For exampl

RxPy and "Functional Reactive Programming" (Flow Based Programming) also seem related, albeit they are not visual tools.

You also have a pretty heavyweight competitor with Epic Games (RealityScan).

Oh well... O'Reilly themselves have been losing publishers, a lot of their books (especially containing math) are formatted like crap, their tagging is terrible. Hopefully ACM can make some direct deal with major publishers like MIT Pr

The unlimited access to the digital library is nice, even though you need to pay extra. I don't think for example IEEE offers a similar benefit.

That's awesome. If I may ask, the data you operate on are still image-like grids or do you operate on more basic data types (e.g. strings)? Personally I'm also working on an industrial application, using a CycleGAN-based system to

Traditional GANs typically have a different problem called mode collapse, in which the generator learns one (or a few) outputs that the discriminator likes. Conditional GANs are given a condition as input and have more chance of overfitting
24.
by flor1s 5y ago
Browsing through their code, it looks like they are using a VQGAN for image generation and ESRGAN for super resolution.
25.
by flor1s 5y ago
Could you give examples of using GAN in prod? Recently there was a discussion on Twitter about the reduced number of GAN papers in the last few years, and some people mentioned that they did not find adoption in industry.
26.
by flor1s 5y ago
Not affiliated with this project, but there is a gazillion different variations of GANs. Most just change the adversarial loss to improve the learning rate / quality, but others focus on architectural changes, such as StarGAN, Pix2pix

There are definitely some areas were biking is amazing, such as Shimanami kaido, Biwa lake and Kasumigaura. Cycling in Tokyo is a bit of a mixed bag in my experience, some streets have bike lanes, some have a bicycle strip on the main road
28.
by flor1s 5y ago
I think Tokyo still has too many cars (and plenty of two or three lane roads) and Japan as a whole isn't really bicycle friendly. The city is very dense however and the cost of parking spaces makes cars only accessible to upper class f

In my experience code highlighting that differentiates strings helps a lot to create intuition for this.

At least in The Netherlands we mostly use centralised (gas-powered) heating, so nuclear energy is a tangential factor. Also there seems to be room for improvement in insulation and centralised thermal storage (warmtenet in Dutch). Electric
