ACRAI Research Day | Antwerp Center on Responsible AI | University of Antwerp

At the Antwerp Center on Responsible AI research day. Interesting first presentation on whether GenAI's willingness to pay corresponds to that of humans (answer: not really). #UAntwerp

Another nice work from Salma, this time on the training of classifiers for #hyperspectral images under limited data conditions.

#HSI #AI #ML
#sqIRL #IDLab #UAntwerp #imec

Enhancing hyperspectral image prediction with contrastive learning in low-label regimes - Applied Intelligence Labelled data scarcity remains a longstanding challenge in hyperspectral image analysis, primarily due to high spectral dimensionality and the laborious nature of manual annotation. Self-supervised co...

Interested in training hyperspectral image analysis models with reduced annotated data?
Salma explores this question in her recent paper.

Time to celebrate!
Last week Salma successfully defended her PhD on #Representation #Learning for #Hyperspectral Image Analysis.

Thanks for the cool research, your support to the members of the group, and all your contributions to #sqIRL/#IDLab.

Congratulations Dr. Haidar

At the MI workshop (spotlight), we show how Bilinear Autoencoders ease the analysis of neural representations through their decomposition into polynomial latents.

On the main track, SimpleStories, a dataset full of simple yet diverse stories which has the potential of becoming the MNIST for language.
