We announce that there is an open research position in the RIML lab at Sharif University of Technology, supervised by Dr. Rohban.
🔍Project Description: Industrial inspection and quality control are among the most prominent applications of visual anomaly detection. In this context, the model is given a training set of solely normal samples to learn their distribution. During inference, any sample that deviates from this established normal distribution, should be recognized as an anomaly. This project aims to improve the capabilities of existing models, allowing them to detect intricate anomalies that extend beyond conventional defects.

NEWS: Telegram supports Facetime video calls NOW!
Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
