This week was active for "Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence", with 108 new papers.

This week was active for "Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition", with 283 new papers.

  • The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at University of California, Berkeley: "Motion2Vec: Semi-Supervised Representation Learning from Surgical Videos" by Ajay Kumar Tanwani et al (May 2020), which was referenced 18 times, including in the article Watch: AI and videos teach robot to suture in GlobalSpec. The paper got social media traction with 28 shares. The authors learn a motion - centric representation of surgical video demonstrations by grouping them into action segments/sub - goals/options in a semi - supervised manner. A user, @ShanthaRMohan, tweeted ""the team needed just 78 videos from the JIGSAWS database to train their AI to perform its task with 85.5 percent segmentation accuracy and an average 0.94 centimeter error in targeting accuracy."", while @EdwardDixon3 posted "A long way to go before it can pull on emergency torch-lit C-section, but really interesting to see this (simulated) stitching. Very label-efficient learning. Paper here: #IamIntel".

  • Leading researcher Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal) came out with "Image-to-image Mapping with Many Domains by Sparse Attribute Transfer".
