Variational saccading
Ever tried to train a deep neural network over high resolution images taken by modern smartphone cameras or smart devices? The memory and inferential costs when working with inputs of such large dimensions (e.g. 4000x3000) increase rapidly and often prohibitively. Jason Ramapuram proposes a solution in his new paper "Variational Saccading: Efficient Inference for Large Resolution Images". He will present his idea at the BMVC conference in September this year but you don't have to wait, check out the preprint!

ML research on the move
Though ML labs may seem to outsiders as rather nerdy isolated groups, it is not our case! We are on the move, visiting and welcoming ML researchers, sometimes near and sometimes further away. Discussing, collaborating, making friends, having fun!
Lionel Blonde in AISTATS
AISTATS 2019 is well under way and Lionel Blonde is there to present his work on Sample-Efficient Imitation Learning via Generative Adversarial Nets. You can check his poster Th79 at the poster session tomorrow (Thursday, April 18, 13h30-16h30). He will be happy to explain how he improves upon GAIL by reducing the sample complexity by orders of magnitude. Go and speak to him!

New machine learning courses
The HEG (HES-SO Geneva) opened a new Data Science branch in its Master's programe in Information Studies. Our group is responsible for the two major modules on machine learning spanning over two semesters (16 credits in total). Building a new machine learning course is a challenge we are happy to embrace. Continue reading

Welcome to Ye!
Warm welcomes to our new colleague, Ye Yuan, who started his PhD with us in September 2018 to work on our gait project. Ye has got a master's degree in Computer Science from the Institute of Computing Technology of the University of Chinese Academy of Science and has got some experience with NLP and stock market predictions. We hope Ye will be a good fit for our team and that he will enjoy his PhDing in Geneva, Switzerland. Continue reading
