Meetup title: MLT init Session #7: An Image is Worth 16x16 Words
๐ Paper Reading & Discussion
๐ Alexey Dosovitskiy, et al. (2020): An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.11929
MLT init is a monthly event led by Jayson Cunanan and J. Miguel Valverde where a paper is first presented by a volunteer and then discussed among all attendees. Our goal is to give participants good initializations to study Deep Learning effectively. We also hope to promote collaboration between participants. We will try to achieve this by:
Discussing fundamental papers whose key ideas apply to state-of-the-art models.
Providing the audience with summaries, codes, and visualizations to help understand the critical parts of a research paper.

๐ Prerequisites
We allocate most of the time for discussion and kindly ask participants to read the paper in advance and join the session with at least two questions or comments in mind. These can be parts of the research paper that you think are interesting or unclear. For instance: What did you like the most about this paper? What did you learn? What did you not understand?
