DeCAF: A Deep Convolutional Activation Feature for Generic Visual Recognition
We evaluate whether features extracted from the activation of a deep convolutional network trained in a fully supervised fashion on a large, fixed set of object recognition tasks can be re- purposed to novel generic tasks. Our generic tasks may differ significantly from the originally trained tasks and there may be insufficient la- beled or unlabeled data to conventionally train or adapt a deep architecture to the new tasks. We in- vestigate and visualize the semantic clustering of deep convolutional features with respect to a va- riety of such tasks, including scene recognition, domain adaptation, and fine-grained recognition challenges. We compare the efficacy of relying on various network levels to define a fixed fea- ture, and report novel results that significantly outperform the state-of-the-art on several impor- tant vision challenges. We are releasing DeCAF, an open-source implementation of these deep convolutional activation features, along with all associated network parameters to enable vision researchers to be able to conduct experimenta- tion with deep representations across a range of visual concept learning paradigms.

The EU aims to ensure that AI is safe and trustworthy. For this purpose, the AI Act is the first-ever comprehensive legal framework on AI worldwide, guaranteeing the health, safety and fundamental rights of people, and providing legal certainty to businesses across the 27 Member States. The European Commission established the AI Office in June 2024 to support the EU’s approach to AI. It will play a key role in implementing the AI Act by supporting the governance bodies in Member States in their tasks. It also ensures a strategic European approach on AI at the international level.
The AI Office will enforce the rules for general-purpose AI models. At the same time, the AI Office promotes an innovative ecosystem of trustworthy AI, to reap the societal and economic benefits of AI in many sectors, with AI Factories relying on world-class supercomputers. to To make support startups and SMEs in developing trustworthy AI that complies with EU values and rules The Commission launched an AI innovation package . Both the ‘GenAI4EU' initiative and the AI office were part of this package. Together they will contribute to the development of novel use cases. Application areas include robotics, health, biotech, manufacturing, mobility, climate and virtual worlds.
