The results of sanctions are absolutely the opposite. Now we have 90% of Putin support instead of 60% before, and they will blame not the Russian government. And this is a pure nationalism (to reject people based on their nationality or citizenship).
Here are three ingredients for metric learning SOTA: hyperbolic embeddings, vision transformer & contrastive loss. Pretraining is also important, this is a moment to shine for self-supervision. #CVPR2022 paper w/ Leyla, @vforvalya1, Nicu and @oseledetsivan https://t.co/0ReOiJyquR
Some time ago @wellingmax posted about the Russia attacking Ukraine. For me, it was absolutely unimaginable. I was horribly wrong, and this whole situation is completely heartbreaking. It will have consequences inside Russia, I am pretty sure.
@oseledetsivan@wellingmax@oseledetsivan wasn’t it you who wrote that you were “sympathetic with the Russian leadership” “understanding the arguments of Putin” in the recognition of DNR/LNR?
@s_scardapane@atilimgunes@BAPearlmutter In fact, the parameters are updated as p_{k+1} = p_k - c_k v, where v is random, and c_k is directional derivative (can be approx. as f(p + eps*v) - f(p)). Thus, it is more or less a random search method (move in a random direction).
Check our latest ICLR'22 paper "When, Why, and Which Pretrained GANs Are Useful?" by Timofey Grigoryev, Artem Babenko, and myself. TL;DR: GAN initialisation is all about recall and Imagenet pretraining rocks.

@arankomatsuzaki@CSProfKGD Well, this is exactly a random search method - you move in a random direction with a step size (and sign) determined by direction gradient. Surprising that it is competitive with stochastic gradient descent.

The world is perched on the edge of an abyss.
We may soon see the worst combat in Europe since WW2 – killing thousands of people, and raising the likelihood of nuclear war.
It didn't have to be this way. A thread. 1/N
@RWerpachowski @jatentaki@wellingmax Very democratic - if the opinion is different, call them trolls. In the same thread there is Victor Lempitsky who works in the same university as me and has a different view, which I do not agree but so what? It is his position.
@jatentaki@wellingmax Every day in Donbass there are military clashes and people die. OSCE mission reports: https://t.co/3or4oWug1R This can blow up at any time.
