a friend asked me to play with @meitu_kr (app) because she wants me to explain what filters are applied / if any are deep learning related

this retouching is CRAZY 😳

📃: Facial skin beautification via sparse representation over learned layer dictionary ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/77275…
✨💄The company has an entire research team dead-focused on "beautifying" images/video (MTLab: Meitu Imaging and Vision Lab), and a slew of academic publications: mtlab.meitu.com/en/article

👉 It also looks like they'll be releasing an API / SDK soon: mtlab.meitu.com/en/apply
😳 This is the creepiest thing I have ever done. You can change jaw shape, eye size, chin point - everything. It feels very "mirror mirror on the wall"-y.

When your phone camera is showing you a face that isn't your own, what kind of distortion does that introduce in real life?
🙍‍♀️Depersonalization disorders are described as feeling disconnected or detached from one's self - and they often manifest as failing to recognize one’s own image in a mirror, as if it was a stranger.

I wonder if there's an uptick in DPD + body dysmorphia for folks using the app?
📰 Timely: "Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered Photographs", from JAMA (Nov/Dec 2018).

"A new phenomenon, dubbed '@Snapchat dysmorphia,' has patients seeking out cosmetic surgery to look like filtered versions of themselves: with fuller lips, bigger eyes, or a thinner nose."
😥 Holy moly, it does video, too. Have you ever seen that movie "The Congress" (2013)? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Congr…

(It's based on the Stanislaw Lem book, and the book is way better, but --)
😭 IT TRICKED MY MOM

had a really odd dream that I co-founded a startup

pitch: applying transfer learning concepts to education

(ex: if you're an engineer who is adept at natural language processing, what additional machine learning concepts would you need to master to solve computer vision tasks?)
🧠 we used @KhanAcademy data to train the models (zero idea how imaginary-startup got access to it, but 🤷‍♀️)

the dream ended with our acquisition by @Coursera, who eventually seized complete control of the undergraduate (101- and 201-level) and enterprise education markets 💪
learning paths were also personalized for each user

so if Billy learned best when reading, then trying a hands-on activity, then a video + another hands-on activity, that was his path

but if Maria could grok concepts with only a hands-on activity, that was her curriculum design

✨💡 This is an ace idea from @sarah_edo! 💕

👩‍💻 Be on the lookout for a @TensorFlow Advent Calendar tomorrow, as well, highlighting meaningful, high-impact projects and papers from our community. If you'd like for yours to be considered, please shoot me an @-mention!
✨#TFadvent begins today! 😄

For our first project, I'd like to highlight this accessibility example from @shekitup that uses @TensorFlowJS to interpret sign language—and then translates those signs into input that can be used by a home assistant! 🗣️✨

medium.com/tensorflow/get…
🎁 Day #2 of #TFadvent:

🤖 Check out this project from a recent hackathon at @ColbyCollege! The team trained a @TensorFlow model to learn muscle movements, then used that model to send signals to a prosthetic arm, controlling one finger at a time. ✨

Noogler training doesn't start until tomorrow (😭), so have spent the day derping around @Stanford!

(I think that this was the first building I ever wandered into, back in July 2010 - was presenting a poster at the Lunar Science Forum, and had 30min to dash on/off campus. 🤗💕)
👩‍🎓HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS #ClassCrashing
💕Best decision ever: your girl just accidentally walked into Chris Piech's "Probability for Computer Scientists" course, and today's lecture is on Naive Bayes.

🎶Homeboy even has a @Spotify playlist running for students as they file into the auditorium! web.stanford.edu/class/cs109/

Friend asked me for song suggestions on the theme of #ClimateChange. Odd because there are zillions of great lists online already.

So here are some #ClimateJusticeSongs that you may not have heard before. 1/

Saritah: "Here We Stand"
#ClimateJusticeSongs 2/

Ana Tijoux: "Todo Lo Sólido Se Desvanece En El Aire"
#ClimateJusticeSongs 3/

XTC: "River of Orchids"

Learning about surface vs deep learners. @lsu Teaching Colloquium. Thinking about implications and applications of learned information.
Learner needs to regard info as important, intriguing, or beautiful. Then deep learning occurs. Learner needs to be in charge of the question. But, few students will not take a deep approach to learning.
Students are conditioned to take a surface approach to learning. School is the biggest place that conditions surface learning. #KenBains #learning #whatTheBestCollegeTeachersDo

I Received the below message from a #Friend and found it #TooGoodNotToShare ..

What is A.A.A.D.D.?

It is Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

#ThankGod they now have a name for it ..

Read on more to learn about #AgeActivatedAttentionDeficitDisorder ..
This is how it manifests:

I decide to #water my #garden
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my #car and decide it needs washing

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car

I lay my car keys on the #table, put the junk mail in the #garbage can under the table and notice that the can is full

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first

If your "developers" need multi-million dollar Ponzi schemes to be incentivized to develop apps that have found exactly zero commercial applications, you just might be a Silicon Valley thought leader.
Hodlers are the opposite of free riders. It was ONLY hodlers buying & hodling Bitcoin that financed the growth of the network, mining security & created a liquid market on which parasites like this have launched thousands of scams with premines, ICOs & zero products or innovation
If it wasn't for hodlers Bitcoin would still be a worthless game token exchanged for fun between geeks, and all the shitcoins & ICO scams that have made Naval m(b?)illions would have never existed.
He is disparaging the ONLY proven usecase of "crypto" to pump his vaporware scams

Deep learning is useful because it enables us to create programs that we could not otherwise code by hand. But the space of programs you can learn via deep learning models is a minuscule slice of the space of programs that we may be interested in.
Most interesting processes cannot be learned by a stack of affine transforms (plus squashing functions) mapping one vector space to another point-by-point. Even given large amounts of data.
Perhaps more importantly, although human engineers can cover a dramatically larger section of the space of interesting programs (compared to deep learning models), many useful programs remain inaccessible even to humans -- we cannot develop them by hand.

My experience with learning modes - Text vs Video content

- Due to concentration lapse, it's easier to drop off for a few minutes from a video content (> 5 mins)

- Concentration lapses happen in text too, but its easier to re-read the para vs rewinding the video

#learning
- For consuming the same amount of content, text form is less time consuming than videos.

- To explain complex topics/situations, texts usually take more time building up the context than videos.
- We try to understand things by building mental imagery, that way videos are more efficient than text because it takes a bit of time to build the mental imagery from interpreting the text and yet you might not be building the right imagery.
