Geometric Deep Learning - Michael M. Bronstein
Geometric Deep Learning is an attempt for geometric unification of a broad class of ML problems from the perspectives of symmetry and invariance. These principles not only underlie the breakthrough performance of convolutional neural networks and the recent success of graph neural networks but also provide a principled way to construct new types of problem-specific inductive biases.
Alias-Free GAN (NVIDIA)
The new tool can do whatever StyleGAN2 does more gracefully as it solves the problem of signal processing that causes the aliasing and therefore makes it look like certain details are glued to the image and lag when the object is moving.
