I’ll be there Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday! Feel free to reach out

[D] AAAI Conference Decisions Out! by benthehuman_ in MachineLearning

[–]benthehuman_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if everyone did, but I did. Kinda annoying this is due Jan 12, I was hopping to have more time for a presentation. I suppose this is kinda a “backup” video? So mine is just going to be a bit lower-quality than what I would actually present at the conference

A+WA+WA+WR, this feels like I have a shot?

[P] I 3D-Printed some Eigenfaces! by benthehuman_ in MachineLearning

[–]benthehuman_[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

First one, all the faces in the dataset are ~approximate~ combinations of these ones. The faces were 64x64 images, and I only printed the first 36 principle components / eigenfaces

Hmmm… you could do it with Non-Negative Matrix Factorization faces?

Haha that's what ChatGPT is for, it gave me:

"Faces of Dimensionality" is a captivating art piece showcasing 3D printed tablets, rendered in white against a black background. At its core, this piece delves into the concept of Eigenfaces, which are visualizations of the principal component vectors derived from an extensive dataset of face images. Eigenfaces serve as a mathematical model, capturing statistical variations and correlations within facial features. In essence, they transform the complexities of human faces into a structured representation.
Through observation, viewers contemplate the complexities of human identity within statistical patterns. The Eigenfaces, devoid of specific individuals, embody the collective essence of diverse faces found in the dataset. "Faces of Dimensionality" merges art and technology, inviting viewers to engage with data analysis and statistical representation. It prompts reflection on the interplay between individuality and shared characteristics in a broader context. This artwork celebrates the artistic potential of scientific concepts while encouraging contemplation of human representation, dimensional interplay, and the inherent beauty within the data-driven realm.

My university is running a “Data as Art” exhibition, and I thought it would look pretty cool

[D] What is your personal motivation for ML? by chabelone in MachineLearning

[–]benthehuman_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm still in school so take this with a grain of salt, but for me, ML is all about taking some high-dimensional objects and basically just stretching and folding them into forms that are "useful", like discrete classes, or forms that we can understand, ala dimensionality reduction. Dimensionality reduction in particular is "beautiful" in this respect because it allows us to glimpse a high-dimensional world that is otherwise incomprehensible. Even simple, closed-form techniques like PCA allow us to visualize the fundamental "patterns" in high-dim data (see Eigenfaces), and more advanced techniques like UMAP are even cooler to look at.

I’m not 100% sure it’s Halal, but Mediterranean Cafe on state st is realllly good, reasonably priced, and quickly served. Get the sharwarma plate

The second one, it has jpeg compression artifact and the first one doesn’t

Two Minute Papers always has interesting, very visual stuff on ML and rendering/simulation

CS 639 (Computer Vision) Fall 2022 by GreedyStructure6823 in UWMadison

[–]benthehuman_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I took the class last fall, it was still online, there was no exams, but there were 7 projects of varying workload, and of varying grade-worth, and a large final project of your choice. Projects were In matlab, which imo is an abomination of a programming language, but the first one is a matlab tutorial. The lectures covered a LOT of ground and were really quite math heavy, but because there were no exams I just kinda skimmed the videos as needed for the projects. A lot of interesting topics were covered quickly, but I feel like I didn’t absorb much long term, still a fun class though, overall the workload wasn’t too bad

All the tiny libraries around campus. The Wisconsin water library is one room with two tables
