📢📢Check out our recent efforts that improve on the Vision Transformer and MLP models for hi-res inputs. Covers two papers from @GoogleAI - MAXIM ( #CVPR2022 ) and MaxViT ( #ECCV2022 ). Achieves SoTA results on more than ten high- and low-level visual tasks.

Computer vision models often struggle to handle high-res inputs. Here we describe a multi-axis approach that better accommodates such inputs to achieve excellent performance on both high- and low-level vision tasks, from object detection to deblurring. →

You probably don’t know how complex Chinese chars are. Even me, a native speaker, under-estimate it. Today is the new year of Dragon (“龍”), and we have a greeting idiom: 龍行龘龘 (meaning “Soar the sky like dragon”, indicating being cheerful and upbeat about future)

#CVPR2022 Covid update: tested positive this morning, but yesterday was most severe for me with fever and sore throat. It seems if you developed covid-like symptoms, the testing should span several days until the symptoms totally disappear. Anyway, hope everyone can recover soon!
