10 Cutting Edge Research Papers In Computer Vision & Image Generation

Ever since convolutional neural networks began outperforming humans in specific image recognition tasks, research in the field of computer vision has proceeded at breakneck pace. The basic architecture of CNNs (or ConvNets) was developed in the 1980s. Yann LeCun improved upon the original design in 1989 by using backpropagation to train models to recognize handwritten digits. We've come a long way since then. In 2018, we saw novel architecture designs that improve upon performance benchmarks and also expand the range of media that machine learning models can analyze. We also saw a number of breakthroughs with media generation which enable photorealistic style transfer, high-resolution image generation, and video-to-video synthesis.
