Tea Talk Aug 26, 2009: Recent results on training autoencoders for image retrieval, by Alex Krizhevsky
- Speaker: Alex Krizhevsky
- Description: "One of the things I've been able to do is draw a crude picture in a Paint-like program (for example a picture of a tree), feed that into the retrieval script, and within a fraction of a second it returns a bunch of photographs of trees (and some other junk too) from the dataset of 1.6 million images. "
