Bilinear interpolation in PyTorch, and benchmarking vs. numpy

Here's a simple implementation of bilinear interpolation on tensors using PyTorch.

I wrote this up since I ended up learning a lot about options for interpolation in both the numpy and PyTorch ecosystems. More generally than just interpolation, too, it's also a nice case study in how PyTorch magically can put very numpy-like code on the GPU (and by the way, do autodiff for you too).

For interpolation in PyTorch, this open issue calls for more interpolation features. There is now a nn.functional.grid_sample() feature but at least at first this didn't look like what I needed (but we'll come back to this later).

In particular I wanted to take an image, W x H x C, and sample it many times at different random locations. Note also that this is different than upsampling which exhaustively samples and also doesn't give us fle

Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Results

## GOAL:
## re-create a figure similar to Fig. 2 in Wilson et al. (2018),
## Nature 554: 183-188. Available from:
## https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25479#s1
##
## combines a boxplot (or violin) with the raw data, by splitting each
## category location in two (box on left, raw data on right)
# initial set-up ----------------------------------------------------------
