Our work, MedicoSAM, is now on arXiv! We study finetuning SAM for medical images. MedicoSAM improves over SAM and models derived from it, especially for interactive segmentation, see examples in the figure. Preprint at arxiv.org/abs/2501.11734.
Read on for a summary. @anwaiarchit.bsky.social

Similar strategy I've used many times to great effect. I may have stolen this phrasing from @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com

Inventors of flow matching have released a comprehensive guide going over the math & code of flow matching!

Also covers variants like non-Euclidean & discrete flow matching.

A PyTorch library is also released with this guide!

This looks like a very good read! 🔥

apparently my post "you have built a compiler" (rachit.pl/post/you-hav...) has spawned a little genre:
- DBs: dx.tips/oops-database
- K8: www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/yo...
- Erlang: vereis.com/posts/you_bu...

those who fail to learn about systems are doomed to recreate (crappy versions of) them

Anne Gagneux, Ségolène Martin, @quentinbertrand.bsky.social Remi Emonet and I wrote a tutorial blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/conditional-... with lots of illustrations and intuition!

We got this idea after their cool work on improving Plug and Play with FM: arxiv.org/abs/2410.02423
