MV-MR: Multi-Views and Multi-Representations for Self-Supervised Learning and Knowledge Distillation.

We present a new method of self-supervised learning and knowledge distillation based on multi-views and multi-representations (MV-MR). MV-MR is based on the maximization of dependence between learnable embeddings from augmented and non-augmented views, jointly with the maximization of dependence between learnable embeddings from the augmented view and multiple non-learnable representations from the non-augmented view. We show that the proposed method can be used for efficient self-supervised classification and model-agnostic knowledge distillation.

Hubble Meets Webb: Image-to-Image Translation in Astronomy.

This work explores the generation of James Webb Space Telescope (JWSP) imagery via image-to-image translation from the available Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data. Comparative analysis encompasses the Pix2Pix, CycleGAN, TURBO, and DDPM-based Palette methodologies, assessing the criticality of image registration in astronomy. While the focus of this study is not on the scientific evaluation of model fairness, we note that the techniques employed may bear some limitations and the translated images could include elements that are not present in actual astronomical phenomena.
