Computer vision model training uses different augmentation of input images (random crops, distortions, etc.). Instead of hand-engineering the operation sequence, one can instead use meta learning to learn effective sequences. Gets new state-of-the-art of 83.54% top1 on ImageNet!

Thomas Wolf’s post on how to make #Python #NLP faster.

Spoiler: use spaCy's internals and a bit of Cython magic

Bonus: a #Jupyter notebook with examples processing over 80 millions words per sec…

ConvNet outperforms human dermatologists for melanoma detection.

Dermatologists in level-II protocol:
- sensitivity: 88.9% (±9.6%, P = 0.19)
- specificity: 75.7% (±11.7%, P < 0.05)

Not quite machine learning, but close enough: method for calculating sqaure root inwardly.

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.
