Data Phoenix Digest - ISSUE 46
We are excited to get back to work, to revive Data Phoenix from the ashes of war. Today you will know about emerging architectures for modern data infrastructure, backpropagation in RNN, masked generative image transformer, scalable large scene neural view synthesis, and more.
Hi all!
We are excited to get back to work, to revive Data Phoenix from the ashes of war. Wait a bit, and we’ll resume the stream of interesting news & updates on all things AI/ML and Data.
As to the war, it continues. From now on, our team will spend 50% of our ad revenue to support the armed forces of Ukraine — to, finally, end suffering of the Ukrainian people. You too can add your voice to support Ukraine by promoting your brand with us. Learn more about the opportunities here.
If you want to post your articles, research, or any other type of content on our website or in the digest, you can always reach out to us to discuss the terms. Don’t hesitate!
