ReStyle: A Residual-Based StyleGAN Encoder via Iterative Refinement
The residual-based encoder, named ReStyle, attains improved accuracy compared to current state-of-the-art encoder-based methods with a negligible increase in inference time. The authors analyze the behavior of ReStyle to gain valuable insights into its iterative nature. They then evaluate the performance of our residual encoder and analyze its robustness compared to optimization-based inversion and state-of-the-art encoders.
Quantum Particle Reflection
Reflection of a quantum particle from a mirror that is only three atomic layers thick. A small part of the probability density gets trapped by the mirror.
How To Waste Your Life With Productivity
I recently interviewed Chris Williamson and I can say that this was one of the best conversations I ever had!
In this clip we talked about productivity and how can an obsession with productivity lead to your life passing you by? Is productivity a means to a happier life or can it get in the way of our happiness? Is focussing on productivity a dangerous pursuit? Is how to be more productive a valid question?

Book of the Week
Grokking Deep Learning
Grokking Deep Learning teaches you to build deep learning neural networks from scratch! In his engaging style, seasoned deep learning expert Andrew Trask shows you the science under the hood, so you grok for yourself every detail of training neural networks. Using only Python and its math-supporting library, NumPy, you’ll train your own neural networks to see and understand images, translate text into different languages, and even write like Shakespeare! When you’re done, you’ll be fully prepared to move on to mastering deep learning frameworks.
