StarVector: Generating Scalable Vector Graphics Code from Images

no code implementations17 Dec 2023 Juan A. Rodriguez, Shubham Agarwal, Issam H. Laradji, Pau Rodriguez, David Vazquez, Christopher Pal, Marco Pedersoli

These visual tokens are pre-pended to the SVG token embeddings, and the sequence is modeled by the StarCoder model using next-token prediction, effectively learning to align the visual and code tokens.

PromptMix: A Class Boundary Augmentation Method for Large Language Model Distillation

1 code implementation22 Oct 2023 Gaurav Sahu, Olga Vechtomova, Dzmitry Bahdanau, Issam H. Laradji

Our specific PromptMix method consists of two steps: 1) generate challenging text augmentations near class boundaries; however, generating borderline examples increases the risk of false positives in the dataset, so we 2) relabel the text augmentations using a prompting-based LLM classifier to enhance the correctness of labels in the generated data.

A Deep Learning Localization Method for Measuring Abdominal Muscle Dimensions in Ultrasound Images

no code implementations30 Sep 2021 Alzayat Saleh, Issam H. Laradji, Corey Lammie, David Vazquez, Carol A Flavell, Mostafa Rahimi Azghadi

US images can be used to measure abdominal muscles dimensions for the diagnosis and creation of customized treatment plans for patients with Low Back Pain (LBP), however, they are difficult to interpret.

Beyond Trivial Counterfactual Generations with Diverse Valuable Explanations

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Pau Rodriguez, Massimo Caccia, Alexandre Lacoste, Lee Zamparo, Issam H. Laradji, Laurent Charlin, David Vazquez

In computer vision applications, most methods explain models by displaying the regions in the input image that they focus on for their prediction, but it is difficult to improve models based on these explanations since they do not indicate why the model fail.

Adaptive Gradient Methods Converge Faster with Over-Parameterization (and you can do a line-search)

no code implementations28 Sep 2020 Sharan Vaswani, Issam H. Laradji, Frederik Kunstner, Si Yi Meng, Mark Schmidt, Simon Lacoste-Julien

Under an interpolation assumption, we prove that AMSGrad with a constant step-size and momentum can converge to the minimizer at the faster $O(1/T)$ rate for smooth, convex functions.

A Realistic Fish-Habitat Dataset to Evaluate Algorithms for Underwater Visual Analysis

1 code implementation28 Aug 2020 Alzayat Saleh, Issam H. Laradji, Dmitry A. Konovalov, Michael Bradley, David Vazquez, Marcus Sheaves

The dataset consists of approximately 40 thousand images collected underwater from 20 \green{habitats in the} marine-environments of tropical Australia.

LOOC: Localize Overlapping Objects with Count Supervision

1 code implementation3 Jul 2020 Issam H. Laradji, Rafael Pardinas, Pau Rodriguez, David Vazquez

For localization, LOOC achieves a strong new baseline in the novel problem setup where only count supervision is available.

Efficient Deep Gaussian Process Models for Variable-Sized Input

1 code implementation16 May 2019 Issam H. Laradji, Mark Schmidt, Vladimir Pavlovic, Minyoung Kim

The key advantage is that the combination of GP and DRF leads to a tractable model that can both handle a variable-sized input as well as learn deep long-range dependency structures of the data.

Where are the Blobs: Counting by Localization with Point Supervision

3 code implementations ECCV 2018 Issam H. Laradji, Negar Rostamzadeh, Pedro O. Pinheiro, David Vazquez, Mark Schmidt

However, we propose a detection-based method that does not need to estimate the size and shape of the objects and that outperforms regression-based methods.
