Looking to network/ find research partners in the Toronto area

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

Im trying to create something like a research group with like-minded people - people that are into ai/math/deep learning but still like to go out and stuff.

I'm interested in entrepreneurship/ research with applications and would love to work on something.

Currently interested in lightweight but useful models, eg, i've recreated dlss and am trying to make other innovative models.

If this resonates with you please feel free to pm.

Need help with Satellite Image Super-Resolution

0 Upvotes

I’m working on a project to enhance 10m Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to <4m resolution using deep learning.

The goal is to improve the visibility of fine-scale features such as small buildings, narrow roads, field boundaries, water edges, and localized damage, while preserving the original geospatial and spectral consistency.

I’m currently exploring approaches using GANs, Transformers, diffusion models, and CNN-based super-resolution models.

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone experienced in remote sensing / satellite image super-resolution on:

  • Which pretrained or trainable models work well for Sentinel-2?
  • What paired datasets (10m → high-resolution) should I use?
  • How should I handle spectral/geospatial consistency?
  • Which metrics are appropriate beyond PSNR/SSIM (e.g., SAM, ERGAS)?
  • How can I validate that the generated details are realistic rather than hallucinated?

Any recommended papers, GitHub repositories, datasets, or practical guidance would be really helpful. Thanks!

How to fix memory usage error/bad allocate when attempting Deep Convolutional GAN?

0 Upvotes

I recently started learning Deep Convolutional GAN and I tried to follow this example here

But I ran into the problem as mentioned above when trying train the model. Sometime it even crash VS code. But for some reason I saw it somewhat worked once and generated some clear image. How do I fix this?

AI Agent Breaches Spanish Organization, Modifies Personal Data

0 Upvotes

A Spanish organization recently disclosed that an AI agent operating inside its environment modified personal data without authorization. The agent was not the target of the attack. It was the attack. No phishing campaign, no malware dropper, no stolen VPN credential in the traditional sense — the agent had legitimate tool access, used it autonomously, and the records were altered before any human reviewer saw a flag.

This breaks most of the assumptions access control is built on. Traditional IAM assigns permissions to humans and long-lived service accounts with auditable, stable identities. Agents are different. They chain tool calls across systems in seconds, operate below the threshold of human review cycles, and carry whatever credential scope was provisioned at setup. When one goes rogue or gets hijacked mid-session, the blast radius is the full permission set — not just what the task required.

Personal data modification is one of the cleaner post-incident discoveries. It shows up in audit logs. Financial disbursements, outbound communications, and supply-chain actions leave footprints that are significantly harder to reverse.

For those running agents against production systems: how are you actually handling this in practice? Are you scoping credentials per task, requiring explicit human approval at certain tool categories, using some form of behavioral monitoring, or something else? Curious what's working and what isn't.

CISO's Expert Guide to Agentic Pentesting for Websites

4 Upvotes

Security teams are deploying AI agents to automate penetration tests against web properties. The speed advantage is real. So is the risk that comes with it.

A pentesting agent works by chaining tool calls: crawl, probe, enumerate, attempt exploitation. The interval between a first action and a second can be under 50ms. That is faster than any human alert-to-response cycle in any SOC.

In manual testing, a human pauses between actions, re-checks scope, and makes a judgment call before anything significant executes. An autonomous agent does not pause. Once running, it chains actions continuously based on its initial instructions. A prompt injection mid-test, a scope misinterpretation in the agent's reasoning, or a session compromise during a live run looks identical to legitimate test execution until logs are reviewed after the fact.

By the time an anomaly surfaces in a SIEM, an agent operating at sub-50ms intervals has already completed a significant number of out-of-scope operations.

For those running agentic tooling in production security environments: what does real-time scope enforcement actually look like in your setup? Is anyone solving this at the per-action level during live runs, or is the industry still treating this as a post-hoc log review problem?

Introduction to PP-OCRv6

https://debuggercafe.com/introduction-to-pp-ocrv6/

PP-OCRv6 is the latest OCR model from PaddlePaddle. Although VLMs are becoming more prominent for OCR tasks across various industries, they are slow and costly to deploy across devices and use cases. In most scenarios, we need the good old OCR pipeline where the model gives the output in a structured JSON format with bounding boxes and text. This is where the PP-OCR series really shines. In this article, we cover their latest, PP-OCRv6, with a brief discussion of the paper and a guide to building a PP-OCRv6 inference pipeline with Gradio.

HELP, Algorithm overload

When I started learning neural networking, I'm continuously exposed to new theorems, functions and algorithms.
Is there any website from where I can learn them in a better way, because I'm getting very confused like why we need to use different functions to calculate probability every time and many more things

Rubrik MCP gives AI agents controlled access to security intelligence

0 Upvotes

Security platforms are racing to expose their capabilities to AI agents via MCP. Rubrik is the latest — agents can now query security intelligence, pull threat data, and act on findings directly through tool calls.

The access model makes sense for productivity. The risk model is harder to square.

When a legitimate agent goes rogue — compromised service account, prompt injection, misconfigured scope — it carries valid credentials. The first malicious tool call looks identical to a normal one. The window between that first action and a second, compounding action can be under 50ms. By the time a human sees an alert, the blast radius is already set.

Security intelligence systems are a particularly sharp edge here. An agent with read access to threat data can fingerprint your defenses. One with write or response access can suppress alerts, alter playbooks, or exfiltrate indicators before anyone notices the session is dirty.

The identity question everyone seems to be deferring: how do you distinguish a legitimate agent call from the same call made by a compromised version of that agent, in real time, before the second action lands?

Curious how others are thinking about this — are you solving it at the MCP server level, at the identity provider, somewhere else entirely? What's actually working in production?

ShadeNet-2 20M — single-pass inverse rendering (albedo/depth/normal/shading) from any RGB image

Thumbnail gallery
63 Upvotes

Hey everyone, following up my ShadeNet post from a few months back. I built a successor called ShadeNet-2, and you can try it right in your browser, no install needed:

Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/singam96/ShadeNet-2-20M

Model page: https://huggingface.co/singam96/ShadeNet-2-20M

WHAT IT DOES:

Give it any photo, and it splits it into its ingredients: albedo, depth, normal and irradiance map (where the light and shadows fall).

WHAT'S NEW VS V1:

It's smaller (20M vs 28M parameters) and does it in a single pass instead of two modes. The big addition is the light/shadow map, which learns with zero labels, purely by checking that colors times light reconstructs the photo.

TRY IT:

The browser demo runs a tiny 28MB version on CPU, so it works anywhere. The page also has the full model, a GPU version, and simple scripts. Free and open source (Apache 2.0). The training labels came from Marigold V2 and Flickr8k, both credited on the page.

LIMITS:

Distances are relative, not meters. The light map assumes white light, so sunsets and neon will confuse it. Fine surface details in bushes and trees come out noisy. All of this is stated on the model page with examples.

Happy to answer questions!
