VolETA: One- and Few-shot Food Volume Estimation

arXiv:2407.01717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate food volume estimation is essential for dietary assessment, nutritional tracking, and portion control applications. We present VolETA, a sophisticated methodology for estimating food volume using 3D generative techniques. Our approach creates a scaled 3D mesh of food objects using one- or few-RGBD images. We start by selecting keyframes based on the RGB images and then segmenting the reference object in the RGB images using XMem++. Simultaneously, camera positions are estimated and refined using the PixSfM technique. The segmented food images, reference objects, and camera poses are combined to form a data model suitable for…

Developers Listen: If You Don’t Have a Rich Domain Model, You Don’t Leverage OOP

Developers Listen: If You Don’t Have a Rich Domain Model, You Don’t Leverage OOP

In the world of software development, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and SOLID principles are often touted as best practices for creating maintainable, extensible, and robust systems. However, a crucial aspect that's frequently overlooked is the context in which these principles truly shine: a rich domain model. Let's delve into why a rich domain model is essential for leveraging the full power of OOP and SOLID principles, and what we miss out on when we settle for an anemic domain model. The Rich Domain Model: A Fertile Ground for OOP and SOLID A rich domain model is characterized by entities that encapsulate…

DiscoveryBench: Towards Data-Driven Discovery with Large Language Models

[Submitted on 1 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled DiscoveryBench: Towards Data-Driven Discovery with Large Language Models, by Bodhisattwa Prasad Majumder and 9 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Can the rapid advances in code generation, function calling, and data analysis using large language models (LLMs) help automate the search and verification of hypotheses purely from a set of provided datasets? To evaluate this question, we present DiscoveryBench, the first comprehensive benchmark that formalizes the multi-step process of data-driven discovery. The benchmark is designed to systematically assess current model capabilities in discovery tasks and provide a useful…

Replacing Biden with anyone but Harris would be a real headache for Democrats

Replacing Biden with anyone but Harris would be a real headache for Democrats

Democrats would have a practical and political nightmare on their hands if President Joe Biden drops out and they decide to push Vice President Kamala Harris to the sidelines instead of the top of the ticket.On Wednesday, Biden and Harris jointly proclaimed to campaign aides that they would press on in the face of growing criticism following Biden's disastrous debate, according to the Associated Press."I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out," he said, according to the AP.No one, least of all Biden's running mate, can be seen publicly pressuring Biden…

Unveiling and Controlling Anomalous Attention Distribution in Transformers

Unveiling and Controlling Anomalous Attention Distribution in Transformers

arXiv:2407.01601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the advent of large models based on the Transformer architecture, researchers have observed an anomalous phenomenon in the Attention mechanism--there is a very high attention on the first element, which is prevalent across Transformer-based models. It is crucial to understand it for the development of techniques focusing on attention distribution, such as Key-Value (KV) Cache compression and infinite extrapolation; however, the latent cause leaves to be unknown. In this paper, we analyze such a phenomenon from the perspective of waiver phenomenon, which involves reducing the internal values of certain elements in the Softmax function,…

Optimized Learning for X-Ray Image Classification for Multi-Class Disease Diagnoses with Accelerated Computing Strategies

[Submitted on 1 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Optimized Learning for X-Ray Image Classification for Multi-Class Disease Diagnoses with Accelerated Computing Strategies, by Sebastian A. Cruz Romero and 3 other authors View PDF Abstract:X-ray image-based disease diagnosis lies in ensuring the precision of identifying afflictions within the sample, a task fraught with challenges stemming from the occurrence of false positives and false negatives. False positives introduce the risk of erroneously identifying non-existent conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and a decline in patient care quality. Conversely, false negatives pose the threat of overlooking genuine abnormalities, potentially causing delays…

Japan’s government says goodbye to floppy disks

Japan’s government says goodbye to floppy disks

Floppy disks may seem like a relic from an ancient time of computers but there are still places and even governments in the world that still use them to run its most basic functions. Japan is no longer one of those countries.Japan’s Digital Agency announced on Wednesday it has rid its use of outdated floppy disks to operate its government computer systems. The only system still in place that requires the use of floppy disks is an environmental system that monitors vehicle recycling, according to Reuters.Digital Minister Taro Kono declared in a statement to the news agency, “We have won…
