Attention is All They Need: Exploring the Media Archaeology of the Computer Vision Research Paper

arXiv:2209.11200v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: Research papers, in addition to textual documents, are a designed interface through which researchers communicate. Recently, rapid growth has transformed that interface in many fields of computing. In this work, we examine the effects of this growth from a media archaeology perspective, through the changes to figures and tables in research papers. Specifically, we study these changes in computer vision over the past decade, as the deep learning revolution has driven unprecedented growth in the …
