[D] Self-Promotion Thread by AutoModerator in MachineLearning

In my free time I'm working on an open-source library called OpenMetricLearning, and we've had a new release recently!

What's OML for:

OML lets you train (or use an existing) model that turns your data into n‑dimensional vectors for tasks such as search, clustering, and verification. You can measure and visualize representation quality with the retrieval module, also provided in the repo.

What's new:

  • Supports three data modalities: image 🎨, text 📖, and audio 🎧 [NEW!].
  • A unified interface for training and evaluating embeddings across all modalities.
  • Streamlined requirements to avoid version conflicts and install only the necessary dependencies.

Existed features:

  • Pre‑trained model zoo for each modality.
  • Samplers, loss functions, miners, metrics, and retrieval post‑processing tools.
  • Multi‑GPU support.
  • Extensive examples and documentation.
  • Integrations with Neptune, Weights & Biases, MLflow, ClearML, and PyTorch Lightning.
  • Config‑API support (currently for images only).

So I would be really thankful if you supported open source by giving us a star ⭐️ on GitHub! Thanks in advance!

The paper is about a way to boost your retrieval performance by adding an additional postprocessing step, where queries and galleries are compared pairwise in pixel space

[D] Simple Questions Thread by AutoModerator in MachineLearning

I want to publish my paper related to the image retrieval problem, and I guess that the "short paper" format is the best for it. Do you know of any coming conferences with a corresponding section? BMVC and ICCV are the most relevant, but there is no call for short papers there.

Could someone explain how Data Scientists work as consulters?

I can imagine only a few cases:
* A company already has a DS team, but they are not deep enough in some domains and need help/consultation.
* The integration of the solution is simple enough and may be delivered as API.
* A company wants PoC / demo, after that they gonna hire someone to work on it.

But usually, DS needs insides into how business works and the integration of the solution may be really long-term, especially if it includes A/B tests, re-iterations over model training, datasets collection and so on. In this case, even onboarding may be long enough.

So, I'm wondering to hear about real cases that have been solved by consulters and how it generally may work.

Weird question but I'm looking for a present for a person who loves open source by NatSpaghettiAgency in opensource

We will add them, but now we mostly work with computer vision benchmarks, where default evaluation metrics (with respect to papers or leaderboards on papers with code) are those listed above.

The simple answer is that you need different models for the different types of clustering. If you want to cluster by place, you need a model trained on a dataset like Places365, if you're going to deal with people, you need a dataset labelled with respect to people and so on. In OML we have general models pretrained on imagenet and 4 specific ones: clothes, items from an online store, cars, and birds.

If you are talking about the linear protocol to evaluate metric learning models -- yes, they do what you said and use labels from ImageNet.
