Is it just me or has the quality of shoe laces gone down in the last couple of years? All new shoes I buy need a double knot not to open during the day

It’s this time of the year again! #NeurIPS2025 If you are in San Diego, make sure to check out 2 works from our lab this week 📝📝 #AIMresearch 1/3

Quick look back at an insightful day yesterday at the Bavarian Conference on AI in Medicine, where @paulhager.bsky.social , @luciehuang.bsky.social, Alina Dima, and Vasiliki Sideri-Lampretsa were representing us. Team, thank you for being such good ambassadors! 👏 #AIMNews #AIinMedicine

1. Social media is now 5% following friends and 95% watching videos made by strangers. 2. Every podcast is turning into a YouTube show. 3. AI companies can't stop building TikTok clones. Everything is becoming television. I wrote about why that matters. www.derekthompson.org/p/why-everyt...

Commuting in cities without headphones make you feel more like you're part of society and not just on your own lonely island. Much nicer than the 1000th podcast or song

The speed at which LLMs allow you to try new research ideas is astounding. Especially for the sweet spot where the logic is not fantastically complex but the implementation is laborious.

Submit to our @euripsconf.bsky.social workshop : MedEurIPS - Medical Imaging meets EurIPS sites.google.com/view/medeurips @aasaferagen.bsky.social @benglocker.bsky.social @bernhardkainz.bsky.social @danielrueckert.bsky.social Ender Konukoglu @stsaftaris.bsky.social

Few things as satisfying as the moment when your paper finally is within the page limit after hours of rewriting, figure optimizations, and moving things to the appendix.

Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉 At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

And lastly, if @neuripsconf.bsky.social would choose to reverse the decisions on the papers affected by space constraints, we would be happy and able to accommodate their presentation

The policy of rejecting accepted papers by NeurIPs due to "space issues" will affect so many conferences going forward that now need to also deal with papers that should have already been published competing with new research. These conferences have structural issues that must be fixed.

People who try to start „crowd clapping on beat“ at live music performances should be thrown in jail

🚀 Towards cardiac MRI foundation models: Comprehensive visual-tabular representations for whole-heart assessment and beyond. We introduce ViTa, a multi-view, multi-modal, multi-task model for cardiac MRI. 🧵 1/3

🔃 We're moving beyond traditional benchmarking for LLMs. 🚩 Meet Dynamic, Automatic & Systematic (DAS) Red-Teaming from Jiazhen Pan and Bailiang Jian together with great collaborators! #AIMresearch 🧵 1/4

Hold on a second, summer hasn’t even begun. Three weeks of rain and 18 degrees does not a summer make.

So after spending a couple of days at CVPR I always get really hype about how far CV has come and then I ask 4o and Imagen to generate a map with 4 pins in it and I'm quickly thrown back to reality

I will never get used to how cold American buildings are. I love it when it’s over 30 degrees outside and then less than 15 inside. So much fun being permanently too cold or too hot.

The ideal modern AI research workflow is: 1. Develop a new benchmark to show a weakness of SOTA models. 2. Create a new (or cleverly adapt an old) dataset to address this weakness. 3. Retrain a transformer.

Biggest takeaway from CVPR so far: datasets 👏🏼 datasets 👏🏼 datasets 👏🏼

Going to be at CVPR the next couple of days presenting our paper „A Tale of Two Classes: Adapting Supervised Contrastive Learning to Binary Imbalanced Datasets“. arxiv.org/abs/2503.17024 Always happy to meet anyone working on representation learning or tabular DL and medical data

Deutsche Bahn top form continues with a 45 minute delay on a 3 hour „sprinter“ route…. At this point I’m more mad that it wasn’t at least an hour, then I would have at least gotten compensation

Praying for some heavy rain and plummeting temperatures soon or this paper isn’t going to be as polished as it could be 😅

Few things more depressing than staying inside all day and working on a paper for a conference deadline in two weeks when it’s a holiday and absolutely amazing weather outside. The other side of the coin is the freedom to spontaneously take random days off in winter when it snows a lot to go ski!

Do animals other than humans also appreciate beauty? Is a falcon flying above the Grand Canyon happier than one flying above Gary, Indiana?

After being inspired by this quote by Francis Bacon I have decided to post more online.

The co-option of the brightest and most hard working individuals by private enterprise away from government is the biggest loss to civil society in modern history.

Forget about Corona, does anyone remember the Lesesucht pandemic?

Reading is conversing with the ideas and sentiments of authors across time and space. It taps into the fact that so much of what happens to us is not unique. There is so much shared experience across history. That’s what makes reading such a pleasure. Its like chatting with friends you can’t see.

Considering how young experimental psychology and even historicism is, it make you wonder if there are any core disciplines that exist that we could be studying right now but no one has thought to try (or at least hasn’t gained much traction).

Excited to share: “A Tale of Two Classes: Adapting Supervised Contrastive Learning to Binary Imbalanced Datasets” has been accepted to #CVPR2025! 🎉 Paper: lnkd.in/esKRqF5p Code: lnkd.in/eZFvDA5Q (Thread incoming 👇)

#WACV2025 just wrapped up and our group was also present, with a novel framework for improving image-to-graph transformation! Have a look at how Alex Berger et al. enable cross-domain & cross-dimension learning to outperform standard transfer learning on vessel graph extraction! 🚀 shorturl.at/v6SJi
