On the occasion of the 1000th citation of our Sinkhorn-Knopp self-supervised representation learning paper, I've written a whole post about the history and the key bits of this method that powers the state-of-the-art SSL vision models. Read it here :): docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Today, we release Franca, a new vision Foundation Model that matches and often outperforms DINOv2. The data, the training code and the model weights are open-source. This is the result of a close and fun collaboration @valeoai.bsky.social (in France) and @funailab.bsky.social (in Franconia)🚀

Agreed, very interesting! Future engines that run on information? 🤯

Our Lab is now also on bsky! 🥳

🚀🚀PaliGemma 2 is our updated and improved PaliGemma release using the Gemma 2 models and providing new pre-trained checkpoints for the full cross product of {224px,448px,896px} resolutions and {3B,10B,28B} model sizes. 1/7

Pls RT Permanent Assistant Professor (Lecturer) position in Computer Vision @bristoluni.bsky.social [DL 6 Jan 2025] This is a research+teaching permanent post within MaVi group uob-mavi.github.io in Computer Science. Suitable for strong postdocs or exceptional PhD graduates. t.co/k7sRRyfx9o 1/2

Today we had a joint workshop between our FunAI Lab, UTN and AIST Japan. 13 talks, 1 cake and lots of Bavarian food really get research discussions going! Towards more collaborations in AI between 🇩🇪 & 🇯🇵. @hirokatukataoka.bsky.social

Also @phdcomics.bsky.social is on 🦋 👏. slowly nesting here.

Yay, @xkcd.com is on 🦋

Nice 👏! We love small (M)LLMs :) will training code also be released?

Sam next to his poster; I'm still very impressed he did all this for his MSc thesis! #BMVC2024

LoRA et al. enable personalised model generation and serving, which is crucial as finetuned models still outperform general ones in many tasks. However, serving a base model with many LoRAs is very inefficient! Now, there's a better way: enter Prompt Generation Networks, presented today #BMVC

Hello world! Is there any tool to sync twitter and bluesky posting?

My growing list of #computervision researchers on Bsky. Missed you? Let me know. go.bsky.app/M7HGC3Y

The thingie that brings over your twitter followers worked jolly well for me. Very cool! I am following another 500 people now thanks to that… chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f...
