This repository provides the implementation of VLAD-BuFF, a novel approach to Visual Place Recognition (VPR). VPR plays a crucial role in many visual localization tasks and is often framed as an image ...

Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving distributed Machine Learning (ML) technique. Hierarchical FL is a novel variant of FL applicable to networks with multiple layers. Instead of ...

Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) represents a promising approach to typical privacy concerns associated with centralized Machine Learning (ML) deployments. Despite its well-known advantages, FL is ...

We introduce DINOv2 SALAD, a Visual Place Recognition model that achieves state-of-the-art results on common benchmarks. We introduce two main contributions: Using a finetuned DINOv2 encoder to get ...

The items were taken in the late 19th century from what was then called the Dutch East Indies. Indonesia had been trying to get them back for decades. By Nina Siegal Reporting from Amsterdam The ...
