Hello Everyone!
We would be holding our next discussion on Wednesday (5/10/2022) where we shall discuss a paper based on Image Restoration

Date: 5th October 2022
Time: 6:30 PM
Venue: ACM Room 109, SAC
Topic: Image Restoration

Resources:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09881

Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of the working of Transformers.

Since convolutional neural networks (CNNs) perform well at learning generalizable image priors from large-scale data, these models have been extensively applied to image restoration and related tasks. Recently, another class of neural architectures, Transformers, have shown significant performance g...

Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach toward building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. Gato, works as a multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment generalist policy. The same network with the same weights can play Atari, caption images, chat, stack blocks with a real robot arm, and much more, deciding based on its context whether to output text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens.

When one hears the term "Password Cracking", many think it must be to guess someone's password or similar. But the reality is not so satisfying.

Read this amazingly written blog by Rohan, as he explores various Deep Learning models and their algorithms, which can crack passwords efficiently.

Hello everyone!

VLG is happy to announce its set of open projects for this summer. These projects are open for all, and we encourage all to take up a project.

The two projects are:
• Image Colorization using Conditional GAN's
• Super Mario RL Agent

The links for project descriptions are given below:
•Image Colorization: https://hackmd.io/-DI5UxSv-1jDGVwxqvFA/SyPf1_AI5
•Super Mario RL Agent: https://hackmd.io//HkCMOPALq

Website link: https://vlgiitr.github.io/open_projects/
Register yourself through the registration form link to be a part of these projects. The deadline for filling out the form is 20th May 2022.

The projects will tentatively start on 25th May and will end by 14th June. The projects will be certified by VLG upon completion.

For any doubts, feel free to reach out to us!
