I am looking to hire one or two undergrad interns on the NIST Pathways program. One is for a sysadmin coder interested in language technology. The other is for a computer scientist interested in growing into IR and NLP.

ConvNeXt: the debate heats up between ConvNets and Transformers for vision!
Very nice work from FAIR+BAIR colleagues showing that with the right combination of methods, ConvNets are better than Transformers for vision.

We are looking for a postdoc to work with Ellen Voorhees on test collection building methods. Ideally a candidate would be ready to start in Jan or Feb. US citizenship not required, but you will need to come to the US. Drop me a PM or email if interested.

[George Awad @trecvid]

@DocXavi @trecvid_nist Our pleasure. That was a great informative talk. It's always encouraging to see what previous #trecvid team members are working on now

[Sudarshan Lamkhede @__sudarshan__]

Very insightful thread on the current trend.

TRECVID is this week. Some nice features of their search task are having a progress set of queries, and using unique relevant as a metric (“novelty task”).

[George Awad @trecvid]

@1uc4r0 Congratulations Luca!, Best of luck

The datasets were not built to be solved. They were built as tools to understand the problem and the systems we build to “solve” them.
