In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.
Is this the intrinsic dimension of network activations at a particular layer?
Congratulations!! ๐
We will be running the 13th iteration of the workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization (FGVC) at CVPR this summer. We have an open call for papers that explore questions in visual recognition.

Tiles for three authors on Overleaf that spell out "ALE", as in beer.
The best feature of overleaf is the subliminal messages it produces by choosing how to order the author tiles.
It was a long day, and Overleaf was like, maybe you should go to the pub!
It's been a while, but I am happy to share that my PhD dissertation is finally available online! ๐
