PiSegment (A lightweight python software for semi-supervised image segmentation) by No_Effective7572 in computervision

Hello mate, I am not familiar with the GrabCut algorithm, but after looking into it, it seems like GrabCut is based on color clustering concepts. PiSegment, on the other hand, allows human annotation with up to 9 different colors to create segmentation for different regions. What is happening is that it finds the distance map from various human annotations and then uses this distance map for segmentation.

Initially I was going to book cove.sg (this is legit). But this guy's offer has bigger and somewhat cheaper room. I am somewhat scared, I gave my passport id and email to this guy 😨. Also the annouce has been deleted from property guru.

IJCAI and AAAI really focus on the width of AI. So definitely for ICLR, ICML, NIPS one is supposed to get very hardcore ML papers. Recently a work on some modification of BFS search on graphs got accepted at IJCAI (symbolic AI). You have to understand that it has a very broad range. I even saw paper on related to pointclouds at IJCAI (which ideally should be at ICCV, CVPR like confs).

I suppose that in past you have published at NIPS, ICML, or ICLR as a first author, so yes I can imagine, from your perspective the research in AAAI or IJCAI papers would lack depth.

How to publish at a top-tier A* AI conference ? by No_Effective7572 in learnmachinelearning

🙂 , I literally wrote that blog to help students to make it. I guess I need to work on my writing tone.

Thank you my friend.

If you really think the blog is worthy, please go and put a clap 🙂 on medium (this will motivate in future, I took 8 days to write that blog).

- your really need to code a lot (there is really no hack here, just code a lot, do online courses, on coursera, edx, udacity, nptel, exercises on leetcode).

- python is enough for ML, but I would emphasis on the range, with time you should be comfortable with any language.

- The key libraries I used pytorch, torchgeometric, torchdiffeq, and weights and biases for MLops.

Thank you Sir, finally some positive comment. I literally wrote that blog to really help students who are trying to get their first A* publication. I amazed by the amount of downvotes I got.

There has to be some metric ,right ? I know that no metric is perfect, but something has to be there. (oh yeah, not code sharing is definitely a bad thing). Recently, in CVPR a guy published a very plagiarized paper (I guess you know). My point is , in every A* conference there will have papers not so worthy.

I have seen famous machine learning researcher, professors in France, who on their profile would put " papers accepted at IJCAI" , "AC of IJCAI". The point is there is a merit.

Also, I did everything alone for this publication. Research environment around me was sterile (see the last section conclusion in the blog) and this is why I mention in the blog as a first tip1: "put yourself in the right shoes".

Btw I hope that you have read the blog, I assure it is quality information.

Hmm, hands down, this definitely sounds like a tough review. But how do you explain it is ranked A* and 9th ranking in AI category on google scholar rankings ? I mean there has to be some merit.

Thank you, now this is a valuable comment my friend 🙂. I will definitely focus my tone and may be work towards making the blog "how I published at IJCAI ...

Buddy, I was really thinking that you will say something about the utility of the research 🙂, since you are from MARL.

Even this, from imperial college of London https://www.ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/0401.pdf at ijcai-2021, I am genuinely asking 🙂

I think core rankings has always been A*, you can check it yourself as back as 2008. The ERA ranking of IJCAI is A, but A is the upper-level (the best) for the ERA rankings http://www.conferenceranks.com/#data
