# Journal Club in Deep Learning and Computer Vision (DLCV_JC)
Organisers: Kandakji Lynn, Mannering Harvey  Minano Sofia, and Xochicale Miguel 

## Aims
DLCV_JC aims to create a productive space for conversation on reseach computing including articles, blogs, papers with code, datasets and codebases.

To keep up to date with latest developments in deep learning and computer vision, and understand the gist behind the ideas that have revolutionised the field (e.g., transformers, stable-diffusion models).

## Topics
Focused on deep learning and computer vision, aiming to gain an in-depth understanding of well-established tools that we can use in RSDG projects (e.g., state-of-the-art object detectors, pose estimation models, image segmentation, synthetic image generation, etc.)
* Papers (Computer Vision, etc)
* Datasets (Medical Imaging, etc)
* Codebases 
* Blogs
* Papers with code 
* Reproducing papers with code
* Seminal papers and state-of-the-art papers
* Specifit topics like NERF, Transformers, Diffussion models, etc


## Format of the JC
* The idea is to prepare a paper to discuss + a coding tutorial to go along it
    * We'd like to be quite flexible on the paper presentation format so we leave that up to the speaker. 
    * To start with we are thinking one speaker preenting one paper, but this could also be more flexible, for example:  
        *  One paper each — coordinated: the coordinator is forced to choose a topic, screen several articles and make a selection of four references to be presented in hour session.
        * One paper each frestyle: Four participants describe an article of their choice to be presented in hour session.
    * Some ideas for the coding tutorial: it could be reproducing some of the paper's figures, a notebook based on a tutorial available online, or a proposed project to work on the next few weeks using the paper's repo.
    * Potentially useful resources for the tutorial: PaperWithCode, existing projects in HuggingFace, Kaggle
    * We are thinking of hosting the tutorials material in a GitHub repo
        * Create an space to organise JC4RSE (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v2MlfgkwUY, repo?) 
* For now, we are filling in this [Spreadsheet for papers + possible tutorials, and speakers, etc](https://liveuclac-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/ccaemxo_ucl_ac_uk/Eb45VIEdVnFKhrKeyKOAEBIBip0HSNdSq8EAvZv-oO9n3w?e=3WQF1d) 
* Going forward we would like to have a voting system: This might be a good way to find common areas of interest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v2MlfgkwUY.


## Guidelines for presenters
* Select a paper to present for 30 to 40  minutes using slides. 
* We prefer the papers to be presented with replicated code  and data accesiblity but also open to only present papers.

## Dates and times
* Journal club session on the second Thursday of the month at 3pm
    * Potentially starting mid Jan 2023
* Drop-in sessions on the ~~three following Fridays~~ following Friday, same time (3pm)
    * mainly to go through code together
* The last Friday before the next journal club session is reserved for planning and preparing the next session


## Roles and speaker list
We will rotate between the following roles
- Presenter: in charge of preparing paper presentation and tutorial
- Comms person: in charge of communication, announcement messages and replying to emails. Also drafts bio of speaker+abstract (& sends it for approval), and the poster.
- Chair: in charge of presenting the speaker and introducing the paper session.
- Backup person: Anyone aditional to support us in case of missing chair or representive of comms.

## Chairing event
Hi everyone! 
Welcome to the first session of the deep-learning and computer vision journal club. 

**[intro to JC]**
My name is Sofia, I'm a Research software developer at ARC and together with Harvey, Miguel and Lynn we are organising this monthly journal club, with the goal of keeping up to date with the latest developments in computer vision and deep learning. Our main aims are
- to gain a good understanding of how fundamental tools in computer vision and deep learning work, 
- and identify in which scenarios they are best applied [...]

**[structure]**
We wanted to include a coding component in the journal club so we planned the following structure. 
- The second Thursday of the month, we will have a 1h session focused on a specific paper, which we will discuss for about 20-30min and then for the remaining we will work on a coding tutorial related to the topi
- Then the following day at the same time, we plan to have a drop-in coding session. We were thinking we can use this time to code together, explore further the tutorials, ask questions or try out other tutorials or datasets. This will take 1h too

**[slack]**
We have started a **slack channel** in the RHub for the journal club, to post announcements, reminders, to chat about the methods we would like to discuss, further reading material etc. 

**[today]**
These are the main admin bits, and now for the session of today we have Harvey Mannering presenting a paper and a tutorial on diffusion models. Harvey Mannering is a research software developer at Advanced Research Computing Centre here at UCL, and before joining this team he completed his masters in computer graphics, vision and imaging. His research interests primarily are around AI in the context of computer vision and deep learning.

So whenever you are ready Harvey, feel free to get started

### Miguel's session on medical imaging

Repo [here](https://github.com/mxochicale/medisynth)

#### Planning
- presentation: Wed 31st May?
- tutorial/demo using Myriad: Fri 2nd June --- Harvey&Miguel have some guidelines
    - include example of stopping and restarting training from checkpoint
    - also visualisation of training: w&b or tensorboard (Sofia can help maybe?)
    - if time: include example of using the synthetic dataset to train a classifier (this could be used in a future tutorial)
- practice presentation: 19th May
    - central repo ready by then (at least a draft)

#### Intro session
20 attendees (incl 3 of the organisers)
We started [recording](https://liveuclac-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/ucabhgm_ucl_ac_uk/EQ_uaF_-hX1Ns5nO8qVdDOMB751wYbFhICJoxu3m0IEwmw)
Prep Qs
- GANs mode collapse
- domain change
- tradeoffs diagram: how is quality defined there?
- examples of AI-based devices
- is this a suggested approach based on FDA requirements for devices? is this in place now or is it a proposal?
- how many individuals? frames as in, are actually videos collected?
- have you evaluated the effect of augmentation on performance?
- how much variability is there in the scoring across experts?
- why diffusion + superresolution? was this to increase the 'quality'?
- slide 29 compare sample synth images: what are the FID scores? how are middle and right columns diff?
- so the transformed-based performed worse in FID, do you have an intuition of why that may be? was that expected? 
- what is the max spread / max FID score in the dataset? FID score between diff machines or practitioners?
- why didnt you consider VAE models?

Qs asked
- detecting abnormalities
- so the transformed-based performed worse in FID, do you have an intuition of why that may be? was that expected? 
- what is the max spread / max FID score in the dataset? FID score between diff machines or practitioners?

Feedback
- Sofia: fantastic structure, and I really liked the TOC

#### Coding session
6 attendees (incl 3 of the organisers)

Feedback
- add making a new terminal before running scp
- git clone repo from the start? and add change of directories when scp?
- change to use wget + link to zenodo (rather than scp)
- can we have one copy of the data in Myriad that is shared and we can all access?
- add ref for interactive/non-interactive shell: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/shell-scripting-interactive-and-non-interactive-shell/
- can we git clone the repo in the myriad node?
- and can we share a conda environment?
- add instructions for uncomment line in train script sh (or directly uncomment it)
- we need to load the modules in the compute node (only? or as well?)
- link to docs with the meaning of qstat state letters
    - https://www.rc.ucl.ac.uk/docs/howto/

### Harvey's session on `intro to text-to-image models` Thu 27 Jul 15:00 BST 2023

#### Teams invite got this response
Accepted 8, Tentative 7, Declined 28, Didn't respond 2

#### Talk
* 12 attendees (incl 3 of the organisers)

##### Notes
* MX idea: We can play some kind of background music, and timer saying we starting in 5 minutes. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nvsGTGnbIQ 
* 

##### Questions and answers 
1. Cloud/local inference of models
2. size of images in latent space
3. SM: where does stable diffusion come in ODISE? Answer: as a feature extractor
5. MX:
* Do you have any thoughts on how to address content replication (e.g., more datasets, computing power, better models, etc?)
* Others > language drift, overfitting, preservation loss > https://dataconomy.com/2022/09/26/google-dreambooth-ai-stable-diffusion/



#### Coding session on 28 of July
8 attendees (incl 3 of the organisers)

##### Feedback
* SM: 
    * Nice to have myriad and colab options!
    * Also nice to go thru the main bits of the paper first
* MX:
    * Agree with SM
    * Just thought that during the talk, speaker can strongly suggest to have his setup ready to be used for the code seasson (vpn, myriad, google-colabs). Also paperspace and codespace might work as well. 
    * Encourage our community to contribute to our work via repo and follow up with any questions they migth have
    * Feel I do not know how to use myridad. Just learn `Eqw: there was an error in this jobscript. This will not run.` > https://www.rc.ucl.ac.uk/docs/howto/#job-states

## Feedback on sessions
### Notes from Thu 12 Jan 15:36:02 GMT 2023
MX
* Adding screenshots of the paper in the notebook
* Roles: Presenter, communication, chair, back-up person.
* "We will go to this tutorial" 

SM:
* share link to colab/share jupyter notebook beforehand
    * the paper and the notebook can be attached as files to the webinar invite I think
* try to give a broader overview of the topic (eg. give a bit of context for generative models before going into diffusion models, etc....). it might be a bit tricky with time tho.
