    Understanding Intrinsic dimension, LoRA's parameter efficiency, and their connection.

    In this talk, we will explore the growing need to fine-tune large pre-trained models for specialized tasks, and the limitations of conventional fine-tuning methods—especially their high computational and storage costs. We begin with Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques, focusing on LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation), an adapter-based approach that enables efficient model adaptation by introd… more

    The Emergence of Multi-Agent Systems in Computer Vision: A New Era of Creative Collaboration

    The core advantage of multi-agent systems in computer vision lies in their ability to divide complex tasks into smaller, manageable sub-tasks, allowing for more efficient and scalable processing. This paradigm fosters collaboration, where agents can exchange information and update each other’s knowledge, resulting in a more refined outcome, keeping every agrnt in sync. more
