Computer Vision Transformed: Google's Detection Transformer (DETR) for object detection

The transformer architecture that has shaken up natural language processing may replace recurrent layers in object detection networks. A Facebook team led by Nicolas Carion and Francisco Massa simplified object detection pipelines by using transformers, yielding Detection Transformer (DETR).

Tiny Images, Outsized Biases: Why MIT withdrew the Tiny Images dataset

MIT withdrew a popular computer vision dataset after researchers found that it was rife with social bias. Researchers found racist, misogynistic, and demeaning labels among the nearly 80 million pictures in Tiny Images, a collection of 32-by-32 pixel color photos.

Seeing Straight at Any Rotation: Dense Steerable Filter CNN (DSF-CNN) identifies rotated images.

A cat rotated by any number of degrees is still a cat. It takes a lot of rotated training images to teach convolutional filters this simple fact. A new filter design has this common-sense knowledge built-in.
