@VE3RWJ We could build an amazing mesh network in there somewhere. That's a lot of contiguous unlicensed bandwidth to have tossed at us. There are countless ways this could be utilized. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

Region #LWL #LudwigslustParchim :
Also kommenden Freitag doch auf das Moped und hoffen, kein Reh, Wildschwein oder Wolf zu erwischen.

Im Einsatz zum Personentransport bei der #VLP : Teure Elektro-Viersitzer mit Stern vorne statt schadstoffarme Diesel mit neun oder mehr Sitzen.

Klimabilanz mit Wette besser.

Wozu müssen sich in Österreich Psychotherapeut:innen immer mehr von den Krankenkassen als "nicht ärztliche Pth" deklassifizieren lassen.
Es gibt Ärzt:innen, die auch Psychotherapeut:innen sind, sowie Psychotherapeut:innen auch div. andere Berufe haben, wie Sozialarbeiter*, Psycholog*, Pädagog*, Theolog*, Ärzt*, Ingenieur*, Schauspieler*...
"PSYCHOTHERAPEUT:IN" ist in Ö. ein eigenständiger Heilberuf, den Ärzt:innen gleichgestellt. #OEBVP #vlp

Went back to BLIP (https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.12086) last night. When I first skimmed it, I focused on the part of the paper focused on bootstrapping captions, but the "Multimodal mixture of Encoder-Decoder" architecture is pretty cool.

It uses a structured architecture involving multiple encoder/decoders wherein some parts of the architecture take advantage of others (e.g. using the contrastive loss for hard example mining for the image-text matching loss).

BLIP: Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training for Unified Vision-Language Understanding and Generation

Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP) has advanced the performance for many vision-language tasks. However, most existing pre-trained models only excel in either understanding-based tasks or generation-based tasks. Furthermore, performance improvement has been largely achieved by scaling up the dataset with noisy image-text pairs collected from the web, which is a suboptimal source of supervision. In this paper, we propose BLIP, a new VLP framework which transfers flexibly to both vision-language understanding and generation tasks. BLIP effectively utilizes the noisy web data by bootstrapping the captions, where a captioner generates synthetic captions and a filter removes the noisy ones. We achieve state-of-the-art results on a wide range of vision-language tasks, such as image-text retrieval (+2.7% in average recall@1), image captioning (+2.8% in CIDEr), and VQA (+1.6% in VQA score). BLIP also demonstrates strong generalization ability when directly transferred to video-language tasks in a zero-shot manner. Code, models, and datasets are released at https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP.

As a (re-) #introduction (#hashtags): I am a senior ML researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge (UK, aka "Original Cambridge") and part of Health Futures.

I work in ML for #health, in particular on #EHR data (especially #ICU time series), and these days am thinking about #biomedical vision-language processing (#vlp) in #radiology.

I can now also be found on Mastodon. But I will stay on Twitter for a while, because it should remain a Very Large Platform #vlp to apply new European legal frameworks (45 million users and not only bots).....
