🗓️ The ELLIS Unit Barcelona is co-organising the Deep Learning Barcelona Symposium (@dlbcnai).
Our co-director, Dimosthenis Karatzas (@dkaratzas), has opened the first oral session of the day alongside Marco Beroni from @icreacommunity.
I'm shocked to see racism happening in academia again, at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf. Targeting specific ethnic groups to describe misconduct is inappropriate and unacceptable. @NeurIPSConf must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard @MIT@medialab to retract and apologize for her statement.

Hi #icdar2024 ers! We’ll present our work on Machine Unlearning for Document Classification from 12:10-12:30 on Sept 2 in oral session II: Layout Analysis and Doc Class. Our work is done with @SouibguiAli , Fei Yang, Lluis Gomez, @ErnestValveny , and @dkaratzas . See you then!
CREPE's ability to output structured data widens its applicability. It can handle tasks like VQA and simultaneous analysis of multiple documents. Beyond document analysis, for instance in scene images, it can perform object detection while simultaneously recognizing text.
It’s a really good way to understand how a transformer learns the inherent functioning of a “calculator” w/o external mathematical knowledge. But when looking at the comments, qué pasó jaja?
Introducing 🧮Abacus Embeddings, a simple tweak to positional embeddings that enables LLMs to do addition, multiplication, sorting, and more. Our Abacus Embeddings trained only on 20-digit addition generalise near perfectly to 100+ digits. 1/n
📣 Exciting News! The #NeurIPS2023 Privacy Preserving Document Understanding Challenge is here!🚀
👉 The competition focuses on potential privacy leakage problems when dealing with sensitive information using state-of-the-art #DocumentAnalysis techniques and LLMs.
Big thanks to my supervisors @MRossinyol@AliciaFornes @mauricio_ville , I can never go this far without you🤗🤗🤗 Also sincere gratitude to my thesis committee for the time and effort! Salud!!!🍻🍻🍻
🎓We have a new Doctor at CVC!!! @lei_tro defended yesterday his thesis “Robust Handwritten Text Recognition in Scarce Labeling Scenarios: Disentanglement, Adaptation and Generation”. Congratulations Dr. Lei Kang! All the best for the future! 👏🥳🎉
