Tensorflow Instance Segmentation

We have just released the instance segmentation support for the Tensor Flow Object Detection API. We support a number of instance segmentation models similar to those discussed in the Mask R-CNN paper. For further details refer to our slides from the 2017 Coco + Places Workshop. Refer to the section on Running an Instance Segmentation Model for instructions on how to configure a model that predicts masks in addition to object bounding boxes.

Books and Toys for Babies

Our daughter was born back in Febreury 2020. I thought it will be useful if I share some of the books we bought for her, and also a couple of books that we bought for ourselves to learn how to take care of her! I have also listed a set of toys that we have bought for her over the last six months. Check them out.

Bay Area House Prices in 2018

I have been studying the house market for the last few months, trying to see whether it is a good time to buy a house in the San Francisco bay area right now or we should wait for another few months or a year. I like to share few thoughts and resolutions. No body can predict the future obviously. The most honest answer anyone could provide you with when asked is simply to say that they don't know, unless they are biased for some reason. For example, if you ask people who own a house, they would always think the house prices are going to go up. Well, because that is what makes them feel happier.

Then you would be like how is it possible to be both. It should be either this or that. Well it is because that is what makes them feel happy. They make money if people sell houses and they make money if people buy houses.

Dawn of the Facebook

When I joined Facebook as a user back in 2007, it was all about social networking with friends, sharing personal photos and videos, and enjoying the ones that were shared by friends. Of course, it was obvious right from the beginning that this would create a lot of privacy issues. In fact, back in 2009 I wrote a Facebook app that would ask for a user's permission to access all of their photos. I noticed users were very easy going about giving the access which would let my app download and keep any photo they had ever uploaded. Why would the users never (or rarely) complain about privacy though? I think it was because what they were getting back was more than what they were giving up. Facebook would give them access to a new social world that they were enjoying to the full extent. I even remember people worrying back in the day that gradually there will not be physical interactions between friends but it will be all Facebook. If you remember, back in 2009, Obama warned U.S. teenage
