A Very Short Introduction of Atrous Convolutions

Atrous convolutions, also known as dilated convolutions, enhance convolutional neural networks by expanding the receptive field without increasing parameters, making them ideal for high-resolution image analysis. Introduced in 2016, they have since become a cornerstone in tasks like semantic segmentation, object detection, and geospatial analysis.

Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) – Redefining Generative Adversarial Networks

The Wasserstein GAN (WGAN), introduced in 2017 by Martin Arjovsky and collaborators, revolutionised GAN training by addressing instability and mode collapse using the Wasserstein distance. Its applications range from generating realistic images to synthetic data creation, with significant impacts globally and in Australia.
