🚀A new way to use diffusion models for style transfer! Style Matching Score (SMS) is accepted to #ICCV2025🌺 We reframe image stylization as a style distribution matching problem. -Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.07601 -Code: github.com/showlab/SMS -Project: yuxinn-j.github.io/projects/SMS.h…

Here's a cool paper using LLMs for lossless text compression, in what they call LLMZip, which outperforms SOTA text compression methods The idea is very intuitive Given a sentence to compress, like "My first attempt", they feed the first 2 tokens ("My" and " first") to... [1/6]

We benchmarked leading multimodal foundation models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini, Llama, etc.) on standard computer vision tasks—from segmentation to surface normal estimation—using standard datasets like COCO and ImageNet. These models have made remarkable progress;
