So You Want to Be an Academic?

A couple of years into your PhD, but wondering: "Am I doing this right?"

Most of the advice is aimed at graduating students. But there's far less for junior folks who are still finding their academic path.

I've been trying to properly understand how/why DINOv2 works, and I think this is a good sequence of papers to read for that:

(BYOL) Bootstrap Your Own Latent: A New Approach to Self-Supervised Learning (NeurIPS 2020)

(DINO) Emerging Properties in Self-Supervised Vision Transformers (ICCV 2021)

Amid all the super-duper research advances, I am excited to share my video on a super-duper basic topic:

How to sample your signals?

Here we discuss sampling, why aliasing occurs, and how to prevent it. It's fascinating to view this through the lens of frequency analysis. youtu.be/fTJjPGaPsq4
