I've been working with DSAS to calculate erosion rates. This is an obvious step that could be automated, but I haven't found a better option so far.

A little animation from a new YT video I'm working on. It's about interpreting DL models with occlusion :)

YouTube is teasing me!
I've had a few videos get this little spike in views and then plateau. Probably for the best, as I'm not really trying to make viral content.

New vid hit the top spot 😁 people want to learn about XAI for CV!

A new animation from my video on Grad-CAM. It shows how feature maps are weighted and summed to create a heatmap.

I live in Ireland so didn’t want to ship them from the US. But your video inspired me to look into similar products available here.
Found this brand along with some plastic free laundry sheets 😌

Tried to do some filming today. Didn’t go so well! Still working out some problems with my new 24mm lens 😅

I ended up printing a few versions of these maps. So happy they came out well 😁

Things are heating up in the DL labs. We're implementing multilayer feedforward NNs from scratch. So, I created this diagram to help visualise the flow of activations and gradients during backprop.
