Pattern for Efficient Learning: A training method for few-shot learning in computer vision.

Getting high accuracy out of a classifier trained on a small number of examples is tricky. You might train the model on several large-scale datasets prior to few-shot training, but what if the few-shot dataset includes novel classes? A new method performs well even in that case.

Motion Mapper: An AI system for automated animations for video game sprites

In some animated games, different characters can perform the same actions — say, walking, jumping, or casting spells. A new system learned from unlabeled data to transfer such motions from one character to another.

Pictures From Words and Gestures: AI model generates captions as users mouse over images.

A new system combines verbal descriptions and crude lines to visualize complex scenes. Google researchers led by Jing Yu Koh proposed Tag-Retrieve-Compose-Synthesize (TReCS), a system that generates photorealistic images by describing what they want to see while mousing around on a blank screen.

Vision Models Get Some Attention: Researchers add self-attention to convolutional neural nets.

Self-attention is a key element in state-of-the-art language models, but it struggles to process images because its memory requirement rises rapidly with the size of the input. New research addresses the issue with a simple twist on a convolutional neural network.
