The results of sanctions are absolutely the opposite. Now we have 90% of Putin support instead of 60% before, and they will blame not the Russian government. And this is a pure nationalism (to reject people based on their nationality or citizenship).
Here are three ingredients for metric learning SOTA: hyperbolic embeddings, vision transformer & contrastive loss. Pretraining is also important, this is a moment to shine for self-supervision. #CVPR2022 paper w/ Leyla, @vforvalya1, Nicu and @oseledetsivanarxiv.org/abs/2203.10833
@oseledetsivan wasn’t it you who wrote that you were “sympathetic with the Russian leadership” “understanding the arguments of Putin” in the recognition of DNR/LNR?
Some time ago @wellingmax posted about the Russia attacking Ukraine. For me, it was absolutely unimaginable. I was horribly wrong, and this whole situation is completely heartbreaking. It will have consequences inside Russia, I am pretty sure.
Check our latest ICLR'22 paper "When, Why, and Which Pretrained GANs Are Useful?" by Timofey Grigoryev, Artem Babenko, and myself. TL;DR: GAN initialisation is all about recall and Imagenet pretraining rocks.

The world is perched on the edge of an abyss.
We may soon see the worst combat in Europe since WW2 – killing thousands of people, and raising the likelihood of nuclear war.
It didn't have to be this way. A thread. 1/N
Due to popular demand, the sequel is here to take you out of a flat 2021 and into higher-orders for a multi-dimensional 2022! Why? “Because I choose to.” #TheMatrix#Tensorized

Optimization with low-rank matrix and tensor constraints with applications
Low-rank decompositions of matrices and tensors play important role in data analysis, machine learning and solution of high-dimensional problems. Many of such problems can be formulated as a minimization problem with constraints. There are many competitive ways of dealing with such kind of methods, starting from straightforward approaches that utilize classical optimization over the parameters of the factorization, and going into advanced approaches such as Riemmanian optimization and augmented Lagrangian methods. Slow adoption of such kind of methods is hindered by limited availability of efficient implementations in modern machine learning frameworks such as Pytorch and Tensorflow. I will discuss existing and several recent results for improving algorithms for optimization with low-rank constraints and also show some applications of tensor decomp.
