I think I'd look for a different acronym to SIFT, given that's a very well known feature detector and descriptor in computer vision...

Came here to say that.

It’d almost be like choosing the name “IBM” for your company then starting off with “Not to be confused with the International Business Machines publicly traded company IBM,…”

How about SPIT, or Sparse Parameter Iso-FLOP Transformations)?

or would SPLIT: Sparse Performance-focused Lightweight Iso-FLOP Transformations work?Or let's choose whatever's SAFIST, or Sparse Accuracy-focused FLOP-Isometric Structural Transformations?

Who cares that I obviously had to shoehorn "Structural" in there just to get my pun across?

Whoever is downvoting you just doesn't get it.

My joke was that "structural" was so meaningless that it's obviously a backronym solely in service of my pun.

/r/VictorMollo 's joke is that we should all just go off the deep-end and double down on blatantly obvious backronyms.

Notice he used the word "Widget" instead of freaking "Weighted"? He obviously chose to Taylor it that way because he appreciates my puns.

Hi thank you for the feedback. This was a genuine oversight and we will correct the paper with a new acronym in the revised version of the manuscript. You can expect the changes soon. I look forward to any feedback you have on the research itself, cheers!

Good to hear! I admit I've not actually read the paper - I'll add it to the list and get back if I have any pointers
