Show HN: Visualize ResNet Embeddings with UMAP I took my personal backup (mostly family photos, some random scans, etc), extracted the embeddings from ResNet (pen-ultimate layer activations), and then plotted them with the UMAP algorithm and bokeh library This was a one-afternoon learning exercise while doing the awesome Fast AI course. The results are quite fun. ResNet returns 512 feature and UMAP maps those features into 2D plane, preserving distances as much as possible. The outliers show that the embeddings "make sense", clustering the images that are similar to other ones in the cluster, and different from those outside the cluster. https://ift.tt/8jR2SWl February 6, 2023 at 04:45AM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
