Faster R-CNN: Down the rabbit hole of modern object detection
In this post, I'll explain the architecture of Faster R-CNN, starting with a high level overview, and then go over the details for each of the components. You'll be introduced to base networks, anchors as well as the region proposal network.
3D Face Reconstruction with Position Map Regression Networks
Position Map Regression Networks (PRN) is a method to jointly regress dense alignment and 3D face shape in an end-to-end manner. In this article, I’ll provide a short explanation and discuss its applications in computer vision. When I was a… Continue reading 3D Face Reconstruction with Position Map Regression Networks
Algorithm efficiency comes from problem information
This is a high level post about algorithms (especially mathematical, scientific, and data analysis algorithms) which I hope can help people who are not researchers or numerical software developers better understand how to choose and evaluate algorithms. When scientists and programmers think about efficiency of…
Empiricism and the limits of gradient descent
This post is actually about artificial intelligence, and argues a position that many AI researchers will disagree with. Specifically, it arg...
Using Self-Organizing Maps to Solve the Traveling Salesman Problem
Using Self-Organizing Maps to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem The Traveling Salesman Problem is a well known challenge in Computer Science: it consists on finding the shortest route possible that traverses all cities in a given map only once. Although its simple explanation, this problem is, indeed, NP-Complete…
