📝 New from FAIR: An Introduction to Vision-Language Modeling.

Vision-language models (VLMs) are an area of research that holds a lot of potential to change our interactions with technology, however there are many challenges in building these types of models. Together with a set of collaborators across academia, we’re releasing ‘An Introduction to Vision-Language Modeling’ — we hope that this new resource will help anyone who would like to enter this field to better understand the mechanics behind mapping vision to language.

Full paper ➡️ https://t.co/lid1qBuT0N

This guide covers how VLMs work, how to train them and approaches to evaluation — and while it primarily covers mapping image to language, it also discusses how to extend VLMs to videos.

We hope that releasing this guide will inspire and enable more work in this space.

This is how much your research is worth after the conference 😂#ICLR2024

After yesterday's success, today in Stoltz 0 at 12.45 we present "Your new Scholar profile" again at #ICLR2024

We think Google Scholar profiles are not serving science in the best way and got an idea to do better.

We look forward to discussing and hearing your opinion!

If you are a researcher you will love https://t.co/TmubcfYrM4! A principled and much more intuitive approach of showcasing your scholar profile, built by fellow scholars @bardh95 and @noranta4!

[BetterScholar @BetterScholar]

Join us today at our *Your new Scholar Profile* at @iclr_conf at 12:45

We believe Google Scholar profiles aren't serving science the best way. So, we wish to share our vision of a Better Scholar profile.

We really appreciate your input on this idea and look fwd to discuss more.

BetterScholar aims to be a better alternative to Google Scholar to quickly get an overview of a scientist.

It is built from scratch starting from 5 principles:

BetterScholar is a project by @noranta4 and @bardh95. We are two postdocs who decided to turn many lunch discussions into something useful.

If you want to help us make BetterScholar something more than a demo, please get in touch.
