Visual Transformers for Improving Quality of Synthetic Datasets - Visage

Meetup topic

Every now and then, we get blown away with the results of some new deep learning architecture. It is important to understand the underlying technology used to achieve these results, but also to discuss the practical use cases for such architectures. Most of the recent trending deep learning methods seek inspiration in the transformer-based architectures. In this technical meetup, we will discuss the working principles of transformer-based models, with the focus on computer-vision applications. We plan to show that there is a place for these complex large models, even in the company that focuses on products that are designed to work in real-time and oftentimes on a limited hardware.
