DensePose: Dense Human Pose Estimation In The Wild

Facebook AI Research group presented a paper on pose estimation. That will help Facebook with better understanding of the processed videos.

NEW: DensePose-COCO, a large-scale ground-truth dataset with image-to-surface correspondences manually annotated on 50K COCO images.

How Many Samples are Needed to Learn a Convolutional Neural Network

Article questioning fact that CNNs use a more compact representation than the Fully-connected Neural Network (FNN) and thus require fewer training samples to accurately estimate their parameters.

"Approximating CNNs with Bag-of-local-Features models works surprisingly well on ImageNet"

A "bag of words" of nets on tiny 17x17 patches suffice to reach AlexNet-level performance on ImageNet. A lot of the information is very local.

DGC-Net: Dense Geometric Correspondence network

Paper addresses the challenge of dense pixel correspondence estimation between two images. Practically, this means that it is about comparing different views of one object, which is very important to make #CV more robust.

How to hide from the AI surveillance state with a color printout

MIT’s team studied how to fool camera with and #adversarial print, exploiting the fact that #CNN can be tricked by adversarial examples into recognizing something wrong or not recongnizing image at all.
