Zenseact Research Blog

This repository contains the source code for the Zenseact Research Blog, which is hosted at research.zenseact.com. We aim to share our research and development efforts with the community, and we hope that you will find our blog posts interesting and useful. We also aim to atleast upload the abstract for each paper we publish.

We make use of Jekyll together with the theme Minimal Mistakes, which is a two-column responsive Jekyll theme perfect for powering your GitHub hosted blog.

Make a new blog post

For each new paper that we submit, we should make a new blog post. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1

Create a new folder in _publications with the a name related to the paper. For example, if the paper is called "RAW or Cooked? Object detection using RAW images", then the folder could be called raw-or-cooked.

Step 2

Create a new file in the folder called raw-or-cooked.md. This file could contain the following front matter (i.e, the metadata at the top of the markdown file):

---
layout: publication
permalink: /publications/raw-or-cooked/ # This is the permalink to the blog post. It should be the same as the name of the folder.
title: Raw or Cooked? Object detection on RAW images # This is the title of the paper
venue: SCIA23 # This is the venue of the paper. It must have a corresponding entry in `_data/venues.yml`.
authors:
  - Ljungbergh
  - Johnander
  - Petersson
  - Felsberg
code: <link-to-potential-github-code>
doi: <digital object identifier> # This is the DOI, without protocol and domain, e.g., 10.1016/j.automatica.2023.111394
arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.08965 # This is the arXiv link to the paper.
n_equal_contrib: 1 # This can be used if you have several authors that contributed equally to the paper. In this case, the first n authors listed in the `authors` field will be marked as equal contributors.
date: 2023-01-21 00:00:00 +0000 # This is the date of the paper submission
thumbnail-img: raw-or-cooked_thumbnail.png  # This is the thumbnail image that will be shown on the blog post. Next to the title.
---

Note here that you have to ensure two things:

1. All authors listed in the authors field must have a corresponding entry in _data/authors.yml.
2. The venue listed in the venue field must have a corresponding entry in _data/venues.yml. Follow the convention in each of these files to add new authors and venues.

Step 3

Add the abstract of your paper to the raw-or-cooked.md file. Note that you are of course free to add more content to the blog post, such as figures, videos, etc. However, the abstract is the only thing that is required. Note that you can include LaTeX equations in the blog post by using the correct syntax. See this link for more information. You can also include citations in the blog post by using the correct syntax. See the raw-or-cooked.md file for an example, where the corresponding bibtex entries should be placed in _bibliography/references.bib.

Step 4

You can preview your changes by running the site locally. To do this, simply run the following to build the docker image and serve the site locally:

docker compose build
docker compose up

Note that you only have to build the docker image once. After that, you can simply run docker compose up to serve the site locally. You can then preview the site at http://0.0.0.0:8080/<your-local-repo-dir>.

Step 5

Make a pull-request to this repository. Once the pull-request is merged, the blog post will be automatically published at research.zenseact.com.

Add a new author

To add a new author, add a new entry to _data/authors.yml. Follow the convention in the file to add new authors.
