Re: [Gimp-developer] AI algorithms in GIMP

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya via gimp-developer-list]

Hi people,

1. Laxminarayan has some very good suggestions. I think all of them are
possible with varying degree of success.
2. Liam, I am implementing a quite popular paper for image upscaling called
SRGAN.
3. Gerald, there would be a testing and validation datasets to gauge the
accuracy of the neural network. The goal would be to minimize 'overfitting'
of the neural network to the training dataset. You're going to lose quality
when you upscale, but the upscaled images will still be better than ones
produced using traditional algorithms.

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you guys before, I am caught up in
work and will not be able to write code properly till something important
gets over. However, I have studied generative adversarial networks (GANs)
and am now learning a python ML library called PyTorch. Once this is done,
I'll be able to start writing code. My main problem here seems to be the
computational infraastructure, I fear that my 8 GB Nvidia Quadro M4000 will
not be good enough to train on the data. If anybody had better resources
they can share, please let me know.

Once we have the toy GAN code set up in Python, people can play around with
it for various types of projects.

Cheerio,
Maitraya

to use multiple images or use traditional methods which don't yield very
good results.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the second link on Tensorlayer. if the license of the library is
compatible with GPL, there is no reason we cannot used their VGG19 network
but I don't think it is! I will still need a few weeks to create the image
dataset and then train this.

Thanks,

Re: [Gimp-developer] AI algorithms in GIMP

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya via gimp-developer-list]

Hi guys,

I think Casey's suggestion of super resolution is an excellent idea and
would be useful to a lot of people using GIMP. The two algorithms which
have been doing quite well are:

1. SRGAN: The relevant paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04802 . This
has yielded some very nice results so far and is now considered to be
state-of-the-art in the computer vision community. Implementing this will
be my first priority.

2. SRResNet: The paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04802 . This
algorithm also gives quite good results.

Now to train these neural nets, I will have to prepare a dataset consisting
of low resolution and high resolution images and divide them into training,
testing and validation sets. I'll try to write a script which pulls
high-resolution CC-A/CC0/CC-A-SA images from the internet and downscale
them in python to prepare their low resolution counterparts. I only hope
that my GPU has enough memory to train the model, otherwise I am done for.

What I would like to do is create a python script (most of these libraries
are available in Python) and then pass the image along with the scaling
factor into this from inside GIMP. I've never worked with GEGL before but I
will try finding out how to use this.

Since I am working on this in my free time and have not implemented neural
nets much, this might take some time for me to learn. I'll try keeping you
guys informed.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Maitraya.

Re: [Gimp-developer] AI algorithms in GIMP

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya via gimp-developer-list]

Hi Alexandre,

I have yet to compile an exhaustive list of algorithms but I am going to
mention two at the moment. We can compile a list later too:

1. Assisted background removal: The paper on this from Facebook is
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.06870.pdf . The ability to identify different
objects in an image including foreground objects can assist users in
removing the background object. I am specifically interesting in the
removal of hair (which poses to be a really big problem). I believe there
are already a few trained models on this already available in python
libraries (TensorFlow).

2. Deep Style transfer: The relevant paper is at
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06576.pdf . This can be used to create 'Prisma
like' transfer of style from one painting to another. I believe we may also
have pretrained models already available here but we could try training the
network specific to our needs.

I think the idea is to do something along the lines of what Adobe is doing
with Photoshop or in the wider context for their entire product line.
Although we lack the funding or infrastructure to be a serious competitor,
there are several researchers in the image processing/Machine Learning
community who've written amazing papers over the years and open sourced
their datasets. We should still be able to get something respectable using
their research as reference.

If there is nobody on the Machine Learning side in GIMP, I suggest you let
me read a few papers and make some implementations but specific to what the
GIMP users want. I am not an ML guy but there are people in my community
who are using ML for science and there is a possibility I will be able to
talk to some of them (who do image processing, but with sunspots instead of
pictures of puppies).

ML is a strange and wonderful thing, and people have tried doing everything
with it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But we have to know what
the GIMP community wants, then I will try to be organize our collective
thoughts in a more technical document.

Thanks,
Maitraya.

[Gimp-developer] AI algorithms in GIMP

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya via gimp-developer-list]

Dear devs,

I have recently joined the mailing list because I wanted to contribute my
two pennies to GIMP development (since I use it for my work). I had a look
at the proposed plan for GIMP and wondered if people would be interested in
including some popular AI algorithms for several image processing tasks.

I would be interested in writing implementations of some of these
algorithms into gimp if someone can commit to writing a frontend/GUI for it.

It would be great if we can make a list of these algorithms to implement
and rank them according to priority.

As for my background, I am a theoretical physicist making simulations for
HPCs (in C/C++) and interpreting their data (in Python). I have a
reasonable workstation to train neural nets, if necessary. Be warned that I
have never written a GUI software in my life and I don't know the GIMP
codebase at all. I envision these to be standalone scripts which can be
called in from the GIMP interface.

Please let me know what you think.

Cheerio,
Maitraya.

I was suggested by Ian to write to Roland or Frank, but posting this here
will be of help to others as well.

I am starting out on simulating neutron stars and possibly black holes with
accreting fluid. After initial discussions with Prof. Rezzolla (whose book
I am presently studying), I have decided to use IllinoisGRMHD for these
simulations.

While this year's school has a good introduction to hydrodynamics and
magnetohydrodynamics, I am having difficulty finding documentation to
effectively write my parameter files and also to solve for new initial
data. My knowledge with the Einstein Toolkit is that I've run the example
simulations provided.

I need help, to master the initial learning curve and would be ready to
devote time if you are an expert at this and can teach me how to do this.
You can also provide me with reading material if such is available.

I will settle on a problem soon and my questions will be more focused in
later emails.

Thanks,
Maitraya.

Hi,

There isn't one, so I assume that I will have to create one ?

Re: [Users] Changing the default directory for simulations

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Hi Ian,

I noticed that there is a CESSI-BEAST.ini. I have 24 cores on my machine, I
did the following changes,

ppn = 256
max-num-threads = 256
num-threads = 24
nodes   = 1

While running, I see the following:

+ set -e
+ cd
/disk1/maitraya/Einstein_Toolkit/ET_Simulations/static_tov/output--active
+ echo Checking:
+ pwd
+ hostname
+ date
+ echo Environment:

-L 3
/disk1/maitraya/Einstein_Toolkit/ET_Simulations/static_tov/output-/static_tov.par

I want to get the -np of the mpirun command to be 24. How do I achieve this
?

Hi Ian,

Sorry! I forgot to reply to all.

My symfactory defs.local.ini is:


[default]
user= mkb14ip002
email   = mkb14ip002
allocation  = NO_ALLOCATION

[CESSI-BEAST]
user= mkb14ip002

allocation  = NO_ALLOCATION
basedir = /disk1/maitraya/Einstein_Toolkit/ET_Simulations

My machine is CESSI-BEAST, something that I added later for basedir to work.

The command I typed was:  ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov
--parfile=par/static_tov.par --procs=20 --walltime=8:0:0

And the output:

[Users] Parameter file error with EHFinder

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Dear all,

I am trying to run the EHFinder thorns on some numerical data stored at hdf
files in a directory. However, running the parameter file returns an error:

WARNING level 0 from host maitraya-Lenovo-Y50-70 process 0
  while executing schedule bin (none), routine (no thorn)::(no routine)
  in thorn Cactus, file /home/maitraya/Cactus/src/main/SetParams.c:93:
  -> CCTKi_SetParameter: Error at line 21 in parameter file
/home/maitraya/simulations/EHF/output-/EHF.par while activating thorns

Since I am new, I may have written the parameter file incorrectly. The
contents of the parameter file are below:


ActiveThorns = "IOUtil ioascii iobasic"
# IO parameters
# IO::recover_dir = "/home/maitraya/Desktop/David/"

ActiveThorns = "cartgrid3d"
# grid parameters
CartGrid3D::type = "coordbase"
CartGrid3D::domain   = "full"
CartGrid3D::avoid_origin = "no"
CoordBase::xmin = -5.9
CoordBase::ymin = -5.9
CoordBase::zmin = -5.9
CoordBase::xmax = 5.9
CoordBase::ymax = 5.9
CoordBase::zmax = 5.9
CoordBase::dx   = 0.40689655172413808
CoordBase::dy   = 0.40689655172413808
CoordBase::dz   = 0.40689655172413808

ActiveThorns = "EHFinder"
# EHFinder parameters
ehfinder::shell_width = 1.8
ehfinder::mode = normal
ehfinder::initial_f[0] = "sphere"
ehfinder::initial_rad[0] = 5.0

ehfinder::eh_centroid_z ehfinder::eh_circ_eq ehfinder::eh_circ_pol "

IOBasic::outInfo_vars   = "ehfinder::f "



Please tell me what I am doing wrong ?

[Users] EHFinder

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Dear all,

I had some NR data which I could reformat and pack into the lapse, shift
and spatial metric in separate hdf files. I would want to run EHFinder on
them and find the event horizon.

I need some help writing a parameter file which reads data from a
particular directory and runs EHFinder on them.

Any help is appreciated.

[Users] Format of CactusPUGHIO/IOHDF5 output files

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Hi all,


Does anyone know how the data is formatted into HDF5 files as outputted by
CactusPUGHIO. I specifically want to know how the lapse, shift and spatial
metric are stored in a unigrid inside the hdf5 files.

Any example file would be most welcome.

It's just that I am trying to format some data into a format which is
recognized by EHFinder.

Thanks,

Re: [Users] Black hole data for EHFinder

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Dear Eloisa,

My ultimate goal is to look at more general data, hence I want to start
knowing how to use EHFinder.

Any type of black hole simulation data and instructions on how to run
EHFinder is highly appreciated.

Dear Maitraya,

since you have a spherically-symmetric spacetime, your problem is much
simpler than what EHFinder was designed for, and in my opinion it isn't
worth the effort of turning your data into 3+1 and importing it in Cactus.

My suggestion is that you take a look, e.g., at section 7.2 of this book:

https://books.google.it/books?id=dxU1OEinvRUC

You'll see than in spherical symmetry the problem greatly simplifies,
and can be solved with a few lines of code.

I hope this helps,
Eloisa

Dear Eloisa and others,

What I have is information about the 4d metric along an axis (say the z

scalar field but I may be wrong about that.

Thanks,

[Users] Event horizon finder for 1d data

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Dear all,

I have some 1d black hole data for which I would like to locate the event
horizon.

However I am new to the Einstein toolkit and therefore need your help in
doing this.

Can you please point out any resources which might help me.

Thanks,

[ubuntu-in] Another important decision to be taken

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Hi guys,

The community has to take another important decision. This is related to
fast forwarding our website development.
I had a talk with tuxmaniac right now, and now we need you opinion on
something.

As you might know that we have a wiki for a website which is to be moved to
wordpress really soon. The wiki has content which is pretty outdated now (we
will update soon, no worries). We also have a wordpress site set up (which
has only a few pages, but is going to be developed soon).

Since we do not find much use for the old site (I suggested this), why don't
we redirect ubuntu-in.info to the new site that we are developing. In this
way you will be able to see what is happening by going to ubuntu-in.info and
also contribute by logging in with your launchpad account.

At the end of the day, it is up to the community to decide, so I ask you:
Should ubuntu-in.info be redirected to the new site. Your opinion matters
and a decision will be taken based on your opinion.

Regards,
Mingo a.k.a. Maitraya.

All old content is going in with edits. First we need to sort them out. I
have the entire site mirrored and will upload everything when we get
wordpress up and running.

Also we will have:
 1. OpenID login (so log in with launchpad account = nice wordpress plugin).
2. Mobile site ( another nice plugin)

Anything else?


 Now that the website design is starting to roll, we need to get going
 with the content.

What about creating original content (e.g. Make GIMP more powerful by doing

improve).

Remember: This is not meant to be an Ubuntu knowledge site like OMG!Ubuntu.
This will provide LoCo centric articles and some stuff to make the Ubuntu

Hi All,

This is to confirm that I will be doing the website development locally on

to the server is better). So you won't be able to see any of this unless its
complete.

I will be asking for your help and suggestions on this mailing list, and you
can ask for a progress report whenever you wish.

Email me if you want to help on anything (even a graphic of some sort will

[ubuntu-in] The new website theme

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Hi all,

Mingo here. Ready to work on the new website.
Now as you might know, the new website is going to be build upon wordpress,
we need a decent wordpress theme. Now I had earlier given a rough site with
a slider based orange wordpress theme (modified Division theme), I myself
think that it is too cluttered.

 http://themetrust.com/demos/filtered/ This one looks better. Its called
Filtered and it is GPL licensed. So if any of you can download this
wordpress theme from anywhere, do email me. (we can't buy this
for $49, erm).

Anyway, what do you think?
Any suggestions. Other themes you might  have noticed?


Regards,
Maitraya.

No actually you got me wrong Nitesh and sorry for the wrong link. I was
suggesting an Ubuntu India music album. Like this:
http://www.gaia10.us/music/


 The link is broken (at least it didn't open the expected site). You mean
 some music will play when the site is opened? I guess that will be too
 heavy for some internet connections and unnecessarily take more time for
 the site to load up. But then, I am easily proven wrong many times before.

[ubuntu-in] The new website and new content

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

Hi all,

Good to see a few of you have already created your user accounts already
(thanks Anmol, Farhad, Jagadeesh, Nitesh, Sandip, :-). I know you people are
busy with a lot of things, but it would really speed things up if you grab
hold of one article in your spare time, clean it and update it and post it
on the new site. Regading an easy way of making the content accessible I am
working on it, give me some time ( maybe a page link from out featured
board. The page displays several categories, each category with thumbnails
and articles).

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU POST AN ARTICLE IN THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORY.

As for the Ubuntu-in centric featured slider, I ask for some more time. I
have already selected two pictures from the flickr images which were mailed
on this list. Thanks everyone for your help. If you find other pics, send
them to me.

Thirdly, a crazy idea just hit me. I was inspired by the Gaia project (
www.gaia.us). Why not create Ubuntu-in music, Ubuntu-in themes along with
wallpapers. I know it will take time, given that we have to do other stuff
too, but still... what do you think?

As for the launchpad sign-in integration, somebody has to come up with the
code at the  moment. I am no  great coder but I'll see if it can be be done.

Lastly, thanks for choosing your favourite logo. As far as I can recall,
Anmol is winning at the moment. We have to discuss each logo design
individually (Anmol be sure that you are present). Suggest improvements,
decide on the wordmark style. It will take some timemore coming soon.

Thanks everyone for your support,

Re: [ubuntu-in] The new website is under contruction

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

All right, let me clear this up.

1. Theme is OK. SEO optimised. Will be (and is being) divided into
categories.

2. The logo is there just for the sake of being there. We will have a poll
(let's see when). I'll keep you guys updated on this. (1.5-2 weeks required,
first the site has to be set up).

3.  People who are interested in writing can tell me so via the mailing list
or contacting me directly. SPAMMERS WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME. Please don't try
to.
 Author accounts will be given to people interested. We have a lot of things
to do.
I have more or less divided the tasks. Just contact me and take yours.

4. The slideshow will be Ubuntu India centric + Ubuntu centric. Please
discuss this ONLY after we have done adequate work on the content.

A LOT OF CONTENT IS OUTDATED. COME UP, BE AN AUTHOR AND REWRITE THEM.

Thanks,
Maitraya.

Now you can create your user account from the website.

By default, you are given author priviledges i.e. you can write new articles
but cannot edit old ones. Ask an admin to correct any old article or if you
are responsible enough, tell me and I will give you editor priviledges.

 pages. I second Nitish's blog aggregator proposal (which once again
 can be easily done using Ubuntu Drupal Planet
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-planet). Also, IMHO having a
 separate login system is redundant and we should seek to integrate
 with Launchpad or Canonical Single Sign On.

 I'm happy to see this is finally taking off. Looking forward to

Re: [ubuntu-in] Redesign the Ubuntu India website

[Maitraya Bhattacharyya]

I respect your ideas. But to tell you truly, India is so diverse that you
end up with at least 15 languages on the website which is quite a
challenging task. But most of us understand English. So the main site should
be in english where the LoCo translation teams can localise it.

 Wiki platform are nice, but only for wiki. Yes, we can create anything from
 it, but again it needs some hacks, added effort and getting off the straight
 road. So, I would not choose a Wiki platform for a full-fledged site with a
 part as wiki. But again I would say (as I earlier stated), this should not
 be a good time to decide over the platform. We should plan something before
 start digging in.

 Ubuntu-In should not be just a wiki. It should be a Custom site, a forum, a
 wiki, a CMS and more.

 What I think about Ubuntu-India, not a site about Ubuntu, but a site more
 geared towards the Ubuntu and its
 usage/development/helps/articles/presentations/news around users in India.
 You can also put it in some professional attire, so that people/businesses
 in India can take Ubuntu seriously.

 Why we should go for professional look and content:
 Lets realise it. Everyone moved from simple to little more professional,
 and usable, more informative and content rich. Like Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu
 official etc.

 So, I will suggest a base framework, with some initial features/apps
 developed on it. Then, gradually we can add more  and more apps to it.
 Later, it will grow with apps, contents and media. We can all put our
 effort, don't we? Everyone can contribute, no matter how and what they
 contribute. We can have multi languages for tutorials and articles.
 Look at Ubuntu France, its totally in french. Why not our loco site in
 indian language other than official english.French site has their own
 Planet, Documentation and forum.
 Again, look at Ubuntu Spain. They too got documentation, forum, blogs etc.


 There are so many people in India involved-or-using Ubuntu than most other
 countries. Many of them will volunteer forward to create some difference. Am
 I wrong? Where else can we get such large community and team.

 How many people here thinks the same? Please reply, support my view.

We can work on your ideas. But let's start with something simple like a
wiki. That's why we discuss everything on ubuntu-in.wikia.com Post your
logos there. The final design can then be done via launchpad.

 +1

 This way we can give write access to a couple of guys to have control
 over what is committed. We can also enable a mailing list on the project
 to discuss issues specific to this project.

 I can dedicate sometime (an hour or two daily) in helping administer the
 project and write a bit of html/css stuff. Though I am an amateur, I am
 willing to learn.

 Can we have the existing code put up somewhere like launchpad and start
 building on it?
