In Part 1 on GANs, we started to build intuition regarding what GANs are, why we need them, and how the entire point behind training GANs is to create a generator model that knows how to convert a random noise vector into a (beautiful) almost real image. Since we have already discussed the pseudocode in great depth in Part 1, be sure to check that out as … [Read more...] about Step-By-Step Implementation of GANs on Custom Image Data in PyTorch: Part 2

How I Would Explain GANs From Scratch to a 5-Year Old: Part 1
Note: Quite frankly, there are already a zillion articles out there explaining the intuition behind GANs. While I will briefly touch upon it, the rest of the article will be an absolute deep dive into the GAN architecture and mainly coding — but with a very very detailed explanation of the pseudocode (open-sourced as an example by PyTorch on Github).Why do I need … [Read more...] about How I Would Explain GANs From Scratch to a 5-Year Old: Part 1
Why Is Object Detection So Messy?
Those working with Neural Networks know how complicated Object Detection techniques can be. It is no wonder there is no straight forward resource for training them. You are always required to convert your data to a COCO-like JSON or some other unwanted format. It is never a plug and play experience. Moreover, no diagram thoroughly explains Faster R-CNN or YOLO as there is for … [Read more...] about Why Is Object Detection So Messy?
Transformers in Computer Vision
Transformer architecture has achieved state-of-the-art results in many NLP (Natural Language Processing) tasks. One of the main breakthroughs with the Transformer model could be the powerful GPT-3 released in the middle of the year, which has been awarded Best Paper at NeurIPS2020.In Computer Vision, CNNs have become the dominant models for vision tasks … [Read more...] about Transformers in Computer Vision
Deep-Learning Based Object Detection in Crowded Scenes
Object detection in crowded scenes is challenging. When objects gather, they tend to overlap largely with each other, leading to occlusions. Occlusion caused by objects of the same class is called intra-class occlusion, also referred to as crowd occlusion. Object detectors need to determine the locations of different objects in the crowd and accurately delineate their … [Read more...] about Deep-Learning Based Object Detection in Crowded Scenes

Novel Computer Vision Research Papers From 2020
Will transformers revolutionize computer vision like they did with natural language processing? That’s one of the major research questions investigated by computer vision scientists in 2020. The first results indicate that transformers achieve very promising results on image recognition tasks.Beyond transformers in vision applications, we also noticed a continuous … [Read more...] about Novel Computer Vision Research Papers From 2020
ECCV 2020: Some Highlights
The 2020 European Conference on Computer Vision took place online, from 23 to 28 August, and consisted of 1360 papers, divided into 104 orals, 160 spotlights and the rest of 1096 papers as posters. In addition to 45 workshops and 16 tutorials. As it is the case in recent years with ML and CV conferences, the huge number of papers can be overwhelming at times. Similar to … [Read more...] about ECCV 2020: Some Highlights
