Demonstrate-Search-Predict: Composing retrieval and language models for knowledge-intensive NLP

2 code implementations28 Dec 2022 Omar Khattab, Keshav Santhanam, Xiang Lisa Li, David Hall, Percy Liang, Christopher Potts, Matei Zaharia

Retrieval-augmented in-context learning has emerged as a powerful approach for addressing knowledge-intensive tasks using frozen language models (LM) and retrieval models (RM).

Sophia: A Scalable Stochastic Second-order Optimizer for Language Model Pre-training

3 code implementations23 May 2023 Hong Liu, Zhiyuan Li, David Hall, Percy Liang, Tengyu Ma

Given the massive cost of language model pre-training, a non-trivial improvement of the optimization algorithm would lead to a material reduction on the time and cost of training.

Probabilistic Object Detection: Definition and Evaluation

1 code implementation27 Nov 2018 David Hall, Feras Dayoub, John Skinner, Haoyang Zhang, Dimity Miller, Peter Corke, Gustavo Carneiro, Anelia Angelova, Niko Sünderhauf

We introduce Probabilistic Object Detection, the task of detecting objects in images and accurately quantifying the spatial and semantic uncertainties of the detections.

A Rapidly Deployable Classification System using Visual Data for the Application of Precision Weed Management

no code implementations25 Jan 2018 David Hall, Feras Dayoub, Tristan Perez, Chris McCool

In this work, we obviate this assumption and introduce a rapidly deployable approach able to operate on any field without any weed species assumptions prior to deployment.

Towards Unsupervised Weed Scouting for Agricultural Robotics

no code implementations4 Feb 2017 David Hall, Feras Dayoub, Jason Kulk, Chris McCool

This greatly limits deployability as classification systems must be retrained for any field with a different set of weed species present within them.

Fine-Grained Classification of Pedestrians in Video: Benchmark and State of the Art

no code implementations CVPR 2015 David Hall, Pietro Perona

This dataset is designed to train and test algorithms for fine-grained categorisation of people, it is also useful for benchmarking tracking, detection and pose estimation of pedestrians.

An improved model of Charge Transfer Inefficiency and correction algorithm for the Hubble Space Telescope

1 code implementation6 Jan 2014 Richard Massey, Tim Schrabback, Oliver Cordes, Ole Marggraf, Holger Israel, Lance Miller, David Hall, Mark Cropper, Thibaut Prod'homme, Sami-Matias Niemi

Read noise is added after charge transfer so does not get trailed - but it is incorrectly untrailed during post-processing.

Cataloging Public Objects Using Aerial and Street-Level Images - Urban Trees

no code implementations CVPR 2016 Jan D. Wegner, Steven Branson, David Hall, Konrad Schindler, Pietro Perona

The main technical challenge is combining test time information from multiple views of each geographic location (e. g., aerial and street views).

The Probabilistic Object Detection Challenge

no code implementations19 Mar 2019 John Skinner, David Hall, Haoyang Zhang, Feras Dayoub, Niko Sünderhauf

We introduce a new challenge for computer and robotic vision, the first ACRV Robotic Vision Challenge, Probabilistic Object Detection.

From Google Maps to a Fine-Grained Catalog of Street trees

no code implementations7 Oct 2019 Steve Branson, Jan Dirk Wegner, David Hall, Nico Lang, Konrad Schindler, Pietro Perona

We believe this is the first work to exploit publicly available image data for fine-grained tree mapping at city-scale, respectively over many thousands of trees.

Tropical and Extratropical Cyclone Detection Using Deep Learning

no code implementations18 May 2020 Christina Kumler-Bonfanti, Jebb Stewart, David Hall, Mark Govett

All four U-Nets are fast information extraction tools and perform with a ROI detection accuracy ranging from 80% to 99%.

Anticipatory Music Transformer

no code implementations14 Jun 2023 John Thickstun, David Hall, Chris Donahue, Percy Liang

We achieve this by interleaving sequences of events and controls, such that controls appear following stopping times in the event sequence.
