This C3I_NUIG paper arxiv.org/abs/2104.03854 examines the effects of directional lighting on a neural face recognizer by employing a synthetic re-lighting technique for data augmentation. Viktor Varkarakis Wang Yao Peter Corcoran @eeenuigalway @ResearchatNUIG Joe Muhammad Ali Farooq

Excited to give my first ‘lightning talk’ presentation at this year’s #PHM2023 Conference at University Of Limerick and catch up with my Irish health psychology colleagues ⚡️ PSI DHP

Really enjoyed presenting findings from the first study of my PhD at the #HFES Europe Chapter Conference. Thanks to all for your engagement and interest! You can read more about this study here: osf.io/aer9m/

How do non-driving-related tasks affect drivers’ physiological responses during conditionally automated driving? In our #preprint, we reviewed evidence from 32 studies and examined the effect of the task’s modality. Check it out here via SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

A piece of neural net hardware history: Edi Säckinger with Larry Jackel. Edi is holding a VME board with two Bell Labs ANNA chips (with golden plates on the left side). The ANNA chip is a mixed analog-digital chip specifically designed to run convolutional nets efficiently. It

We are now Research Ireland have research awards for Ukr 🇺🇦 researchers in Ireland🇮🇪. My group (C3I) can host suitable candidates; current Ph.D. research: lnkd.in/e6dcveXp Recent pubs here:  lnkd.in/e4px2yxK Phillips P. OBrien Mriya Report Royal Irish Academy Richard Branson rt please!

Congrats to Dr R Jain who defended his thesis today on "Enhancements to Child Speech Generation and Recognition using NNs". Examiners were Prof M Kurimo, Aalto Uni, Dr H Cucu, Politehnica Uni of Bucharest, and Dr M Schukat. Supervisor was Prof P Corcoran. Chair was Prof J Breslin

Llama model outputs can now be used to train other models.

Introducing Meta Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) — the first unified model for real-time, promptable object segmentation in images & videos. SAM 2 is available today under Apache 2.0 so that anyone can use it to build their own experiences Details ➡️ go.fb.me/p749s5

With Llama 3.2 we released our first-ever lightweight Llama models: 1B & 3B. These models empower developers to build personalized, on-device agentic applications with capabilities like summarization, tool use and RAG where data never leaves the device.

Remember the llm.c repro of the GPT-2 (124M) training run? It took 45 min on 8xH100. Since then, Keller Jordan (and by now many others) have iterated on that extensively in the new modded-nanogpt repo that achieves the same result, now in only 5 min! Love this repo 👏 600 LOC

I am happy to share that I have started a new role at the University of Galway as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science. Excited to build on my work in AI, sensing, & neuromorphic computing while mentoring students & advancing cutting-edge research!

We have created a new course: the Professional Diploma in Practical AI for Software Developers with the school of Computer Science at the University of Galway and Springboard +
