"Approximating CNNs with Bag-of-local-Features models works surprisingly well on ImageNet" openreview.net/forum?id=SkfM… cool/fun paper. A "bag of words" of nets on tiny 17x17 patches suffice to reach AlexNet-level performance on ImageNet. A lot of the information is very local.

Yao Shen + me did a rapid visualisation of mismatch between where people work (job supply) + where they live (job demand). Title bit of mouthful at Reg Stu, Reg Sci, 5:1, 263-266, DOI:10.1080/21681376.2018.1500936 open-access PDF bit.ly/2O7SznK @CASAUCL @SpaceSyntaxNet
