I am transmitting a hiring opportunity for a good friend (@jblugagne). I have had the pleasure to know him and work with him for a long time, and warmly encourage interested people to apply. I have worked and am still working a bit on DeLTA myself, so I am biased but I think it's a very nice project :) Boosts appreciated!

> We are looking for a Senior Python Developer to join our group at the University of Oxford’s Department of Engineering Science. This is a full-time position focused on advancing our open-source computer vision software for quantitative microscopy, DeLTA. There will also be opportunities to explore commercial applications and contribute to potential spin-off efforts.

> We’re looking for someone with strong Python skills and experience in software release and management. Backgrounds in computer vision, machine learning, or microscopy are a plus.

#Introduction post again - had to reinstall my mastodon instance.
Hi! My name is Max.
I enjoy #coding and I do it for hobby and work for over 15 years. I have development #gamedevelopment #computervision #robotics #mobileapps for #nokia #symbian #android #ios #tizen #maemo. More recently, I make a living working with #React on #Frontend
On a lighter note, I enjoy various types of #rock music, I love #khruangbin #tameimpala #unknownmortalorchestra. I love #scifi#adventure movies.

Another one of my posts. This one on the topic of AI tools as assistive technology, what's working, what isn't and why, all without the hype that too many people tend to lean into when discussing this technology:

“The nature of scientific progress is that it sometimes provides powerful tools that can be wielded for good or for ill: splitting the atom and nuclear weapons being a case in point. In such cases, it’s necessary that researchers involved in developing such #technologies participate actively in the ethical and political discussions about the appropriate boundaries for their use. Computer vision is one area in which more voices need to be heard.”

“This study backs up with clear evidence what many have long suspected: that computer-vision research is being used mainly in surveillance-enabling #applications.”

www.nature.comDon’t sleepwalk from computer-vision research into surveillanceThe output of computer-vision research is overwhelmingly aimed towards monitoring humans. The potential ethical implications need more scrutiny.

It's a bit magical how adding diversity to a training dataset improves the result of the model. I was analyzing one microscopy experiment, and the segmentation model, trained on the same experiment, was doing well on this particular movie but not on others. I added a few more experiments to the training set, and now the model does much better even on experiments outside of the training set.

"An increasing number of scholars, policymakers and grassroots communities argue that artificial intelligence (AI) research—and computer-vision research in particular—has become the primary source for developing and powering mass surveillance. Yet, the pathways from computer vision to surveillance continue to be contentious. Here we present an empirical account of the nature and extent of the surveillance AI pipeline, showing extensive evidence of the close relationship between the field of computer vision and surveillance. Through an analysis of computer-vision research papers and citing patents, we found that most of these documents enable the targeting of human bodies and body parts. Comparing the 1990s to the 2010s, we observed a fivefold increase in the number of these computer-vision papers linked to downstream surveillance-enabling patents. Additionally, our findings challenge the notion that only a few rogue entities enable surveillance. Rather, we found that the normalization of targeting humans permeates the field. This normalization is especially striking given patterns of obfuscation. We reveal obfuscating language that allows documents to avoid direct mention of targeting humans, for example, by normalizing the referring to of humans as ‘objects’ to be studied without special consideration. Our results indicate the extensive ties between computer-vision research and surveillance."
