Using entropy to discover visually salient features
I used a line as an example, but I am really interested in detecting any unusual/unlikely patterns. I am not even sure it is possible without pre-judging the types of interesting patterns, but I think it may be. e.g. the components that make up a line (edge segments) probably occur more...- elpidiovaldez5

Using entropy to discover visually salient features
The book looks great, but here I am actually I am interested in a more physics based view of saliency. Neural nets, particularly Convolutional neural nets (and more recently Transformers) are well suited to detecting visual features like edges, but I am trying to get at the reason for their...- elpidiovaldez5

Using entropy to discover visually salient features
I am trying to understand how visually salient features could be discovered by unsupervised learning. I do not want to assume that we already have edge detectors or convolutional neural networks, rather I am trying to imagine how these could be discovered by observing the world. Imagine that a...- elpidiovaldez5

Why does mass/energy have inertia?
I have been googling this topic for some time, but I still don't know if this is still an unsolved mystery of physics (it's just so) or if there is a deeper underlying theory. I get the idea that mass/energy distorts spacetime, justified by thought experiments with moving objects and photons...- elpidiovaldez5
