At the recent #neurips4creativity panel someone asked what areas of machine learning were recommend for newcomers, and I suggested exploring atypical algos such as image segmentation and how they might be repurposed.
let me explain further with using some of my students' work.π
Semantic Image Segmentation is arguably one of the more mundane success stories of modern computer vision. The task is to label each pixel with a label - @jeremyjordan provides a good overview if you are unfamiliar: jeremyjordan.me/semantic-segmeβ¦
This past year I introduced it to my @vicuniwgtn design 2nd year undergraduates as part of a digital photography assignment. It seemed completely natural to students that (of course!) images can be decomposed into not only Red, Green, and Blue but also imperfect semantic labels.
