    I mean the PDF reader that is contained in Zotero. Am I using the wrong terminology?

    Some PDF readers have a Back button (like the built-in Zotero PDF reader).

    Novel view synthesis, so based on some images of a scene, rendering views from positions and angles that were not originally recorded. 3D Gaussian Splatting, besides beating the st…

    I think these days we can quite reliably train robots to do single tasks from a few demonstrations. The problem is that "quite reliably" simply is not good enough for the real worl…

    I guess generative AI using copilot or ChatGPT might overtake model-driven engineering as a time-saving technique, which seems worrisome for the "software factory" industry. At the…

    It's weird how mixed quality their books are, and how many overlapping books they have. From Packt I like Sebastian Raschka's books on Python Machine Learning. Other than that from…

    Weights are just numbers, essentially by using a neural network you are telling the system to "find the best way to represent the scene with a budget of X numbers/parameters". Mode…

    When tables get too complex (e.g. generated columns using dataview) I switch to embedding subnotes using the ![[]] syntax and "clean embeds" CSS [1]. [1]: https://kool.casa/notes/d…

    +1 for Obsidian, though until now I haven't felt the need to write actual papers in. Zotero + latexmk + vim + Skim/SumatraPDF mostly scratches that itch for me.

    I'm not sure if it's truly a timeless paper, but "Attention is all you need" by Vaswani et al. has been super influential in recent years. Also "Deep Unsupervised Learning using No…

    tmux + tmuxinator seems like a solution? Though my workflow right now is mostly SSH + tmux + jupyterlab

    In my experience NeRF tends to work better for objects that photogrammetry struggles with, like transparent objects. By using marching cubes you can also export scenes as a mesh. i…

    Neural Radiance Fields are a technique from the neural rendering research field, while photogrammetry is a research field on its own. However these are just turf wars and in practi…

    RxPy and "Functional Reactive Programming" (Flow Based Programming) also seem related, albeit they are not visual tools.

    You also have a pretty heavyweight competitor with Epic Games (RealityScan).

    Oh well... O'Reilly themselves have been losing publishers, a lot of their books (especially containing math) are formatted like crap, their tagging is terrible. Hopefully ACM can …

    The unlimited access to the digital library is nice, even though you need to pay extra. I don't think for example IEEE offers a similar benefit.

    That's awesome. If I may ask, the data you operate on are still image-like grids or do you operate on more basic data types (e.g. strings)? Personally I'm also working on an indust…

    Traditional GANs typically have a different problem called mode collapse, in which the generator learns one (or a few) outputs that the discriminator likes. Conditional GANs are gi…

    Browsing through their code, it looks like they are using a VQGAN for image generation and ESRGAN for super resolution.

    Could you give examples of using GAN in prod? Recently there was a discussion on Twitter about the reduced number of GAN papers in the last few years, and some people mentioned tha…
