Understanding Implicit Neural Representations with Itzik Ben-Shabat
In this episode of Computer Vision Decoded, we are going to dive into implicit neural representations.
We are joined by Itzik Ben-Shabat, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Australian National Universit (ANU) and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology as well as the host of the Talking Paper Podcast.
You will learn a core understanding of implicit neural representations, key concepts and terminology, how it's being used in applications today, and Itzik's research into improving output with limit input data.
Episode timeline:
00:00 Intro
01:23 Overview of what implicit neural representations are
04:08 How INR compares and contrasts with a NeRF
08:17 Why did Itzik pursued this line of research
10:56 What is normalization and what are normals
13:13 Past research people should read to learn about the basics of INR
16:10 What is an implicit representation (without the neural network)
24:27 What is DiGS and what problem with INR does it solve?
35:54 What is OG-I NR and what problem with INR does it solve?
40:43 What software can researchers use to understand INR?
49:15 What information should non-scientists be focused to learn about INR?
