This interview provides an overview of my thoughts on how AI is developing in Europe vs. other parts of the world:

Congratulation Edwige Cyffers, @pierremarion.bsky.social, and all of team Paris on this milestone for the machine learning community! 🎉🇫🇷

Feeling overwhelmed by all the recent developments in video understanding? What used to require dozens of modular computational workflows involving SLAM, feature tracking, optical flow, camera calibration, multiview geometric constraints, and resnet backbones is now... (1/3)

How does AI interact with culture? We’re thrilled to have Dr. Maria Antoniak (@mariaa.bsky.social) join us at FGVC! Her interdisciplinary work on AI in the humanities brings a new perspective to our workshop: the fine-grained categorization of the intangible parts of culture. See you at #CVPR2026!

Super excited to have this work out, led by our amazing Lucia Gordon (@luciagordon.bsky.social): “MMEarth-Bench: Global Model Adaptation via Multimodal Test-Time Training” Project page: mmearth-bench.com Paper preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2602.06285 Code and dataset: github.com/lgordon99/mm... [1/n]

Compression is Magic One memory that stays with me from my early days of grad school in the mid-1990s was the buzz about a scrappy, yet highly effective, document classification method from CMU. [Continued on longer.blue/posts/ma2JOS... ]

@yann-lecun.bsky.social beams in from a galaxy far, far away to deliver a keynote at Machines Can Think 2026 “Future AI systems will be judged not by what they can already do, but by what new tasks they can learn quickly. This requires an understanding of the world.”

Machines Can Think 2026 is off to a great start with excellent keynotes by Sergey Tulyakov ( @snapinc.bsky.social) and @misovalko.bsky.social (Stealth Startup) machinescanthink.ai

👋 Meet the ELLIS Board! This episode features @lawrennd.bsky.social, DeepMind Professor of ML at @cam.ac.uk 🇬🇧. He shares perspectives on AGI timelines, data vs. algorithms, and why progress in AI should be judged by its impact on people and society. Watch the video 👉 youtu.be/uxtVA5fMQZQ

We have two open PhD positions at the interface of AI and ecology. Start dates are Sept 2026. We are looking for candidates with a background in AI/CS, Math, Stats, or Physics that are passionate about solving challenging problems in these domains.  Application deadline is in two weeks.

📢Please share📢 We have an opening for an exciting fully-funded PhD project on computer vision and machine learning applied to biodiversity monitoring with amazing Serge Belongie @belongielab.org and @aicentre.dk. Application deadline coming up on 15 January! phd.tech.au.dk/for-applican...

I bookmarked this post on Quora ~8 years ago when a small startup called x.ai launched a calendar booking assistant/bot named Amy Ingram. While I only tried their system for a handful of experiments, the lukewarm review below matched my impressions of its capability.

What if we could see between the pixels? We’ve been working on a new approach to super-resolve images by combining multiple low-resolution views of the same scene. Project page: sjyhne.github.io/superf/ Preprint: www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.09115 Demo: huggingface.co/spaces/sjyhn... Thread [1/n] 👇

This should be move up in the selection criteria. I will be planning my year around EurIPS, it seems 🍻

Coming off the #EurIPS high — let’s keep the momentum going! 👀 We’re looking for a host team + venue for EurIPS 2026 that can support a unified budget, big workshop participation & smooth logistics. ❗Deadline: Jan 15th 🔎Details: https://bit.ly/4q4OrXO

CopeNLU had a blast attending @euripsconf.bsky.social last week -- thanks so much to the organisers (Søren Hauberg, @serge.belongie.com, Bernhard Schölkopf, Aasa Feragen) for putting this together! Non-scientific highlights were clearly the banquet dinner & the specially brewed EurIPA.

Seminar by @loicland.bsky.social @imagineenpc.bsky.social on recent advances in geospatial machine learning, including biomass estimation, at @aicentre.dk www.aicentre.dk/events/20251...

We are off to a great start with our first set of 9 #EurIPS workshops! the lecture rooms are buzzing and conversations are flowing at our three different workshop locations!

EurIPA! 🍻

The panel discussion on the Future of AI conferences in Europe is happening now! It features Aasa Feragen, Søren Hauberg, @serge.belongie.com, Bernhard Scholkopf, Ben Glocker and @philiptorr.bsky.social

We are 7 hours into today's program, but we are not done yet! In just a few minutes Michael Jordan will be giving today's second #EurIPS keynote on "A Collectivist, Economic Perspective on AI". So load up on coffee and see you there! ☕

Thank you for attending the @ellis.eu UnConference and the Welcome Remarks & Reception. We are looking forward to kicking off #EurIPS together tomorrow morning ❄️

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the first day of amazing scientific dissemination and networking! Today the @ellis.eu UnConference is taking place with an amazing series of workshops & posters. We will also have our #EurIPS Welcome Remarks and Reception in the afternoon. Be there or be square!

Our largest set of sponsors are our Silver Sponsors, who demonstrates the wide range of support that #EurIPS has garnered. Their support and belief in the EurIPS conference is invaluable! Make sure to visit them next week at the booths!
