When we came up with this paper most work was focused on GANs — an even earlier auto regressive model for text to image synthesis was also at #CVPR2018 — full 4 years earlier.

Our paper was selected as Oral and Best Paper Finalist at #CVPR2019 — it would be A LOT more competitive these days! .

Now a new model by Google scaling this up further.
The recipe is simple: better image tokenizer (ViT-VQGAN) + scaling the visual component (that generates image tokens from text tokens). The beauty of this: all components are Transformer & any techniques that work for large language models are readily applicable! (2/n)

Great explanation here for how DALL-E mini:mega works which in turns is how the original DALL-E worked. // Our Text2Scene model assumed visual tokens are actual object crops from the training data from a fixed (not learned) dictionary.

Three years ago we showed seq-to-seq models could be used for text-to-image synthesis. In some way I’m glad to see new models are emerging in 2021/2022 where this idea is scaled up and combined with visual dictionary learning (ie. VQ-VAE, VQ-GAN, dGAN).
Look Mom No GANs: Text-to-image Synthesis as Machine Translation // Not the actual title of our paper but maybe should be. To be presented next week at #cvpr2019 in Long Beach, California.

In today's afternoon session @pcascanteb will be presenting our work in the Vision and Language poster track: Poster 242b #CVPR2022 -- I will be around to network/talk to people while she presents -- Join us!.
Thank you @ak92501 for having us! .This is my first #CVPR and also part of my first internship in industry @MITIBMLab, @IBMResearch!.Thanks for the great advice @HuiWu_, @RogerioFeris and my Professor @bluevincent, and the amazing work of undergrad student @DiegoWang51! 1/4.

Never met him but followed his work since I was student — pre-deep learning he was most well known for his work on detecting salient objects and haze removal. Rest in peace.
I was shocked to know that Dr. Jian Sun, my former colleague of the MSRA Visual Computing Group, has passed away. We will miss him dearly. May his soul rest in peace.

I was also wondering if Duolingo really works? I am still not sure if it’s the most efficient way but with persistence and for some languages it takes one very far. Add tutoring and media consumption in the target language and a high level of proficiency can certainly be achieved.

About four years ago I decided that I needed to remind myself of the uncomfortable stage of being clumsy in a foreign language. By now, I am fully reminded of how it feels. I added a new language to my skills and now toward a fourth.

Last week my Twitter feed was all about AI/consciousness and this week is all about tenure. But no, I will not comment and surrender to the pressure of our recommendation and engagement AI engine overlords. Nice try.
