Image Generation + Probabilities: New Method Boosts Performance for Normalizing Flow

If you want to both synthesize data and find the probability of any given example — say, generate images of manufacturing defects to train a defect detector and identify the highest-probability defects — you may use the architecture known as a normalizing flow.

The Limits of Pretraining: More pretraining doesn't guarantee a better fine-tuned AI.

The higher the accuracy of a pretrained model, the better its performance after fine-tuning, right? Not necessarily. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of image-recognition experiments and performed some of their own.
