The #ECCV2026 Call for Workshop Proposals is now posted! Workshop call: eccv.ecva.net/Conferences/...

Check out what’s new at #ECCV2026 Malmo 🇸🇪 Full details: eccv.ecva.net/Conferences/...

Considering to submit a workshop proposal for #ECCV2026, you? Guess & help me prioritizing 🅰️ topic of a fellowship, if awarded. 🅱️ topic that researchers complaint more often than they praise. 📽️ Easy guess. 2nd Hint: we got half-day in #CVPR2026 🇺🇸. Hence mostly for nurturing our 🇪🇺 community.

This! The dirtiest part of the peer review process in top-tier Computer Vision conf is perhaps the discussion phase. Is it still not transparent? The 2nd one, the meta-review. Authors often complain about Rs, but given the lack of transparency, Isn’t it fair to split that difference with ACs?

I'm reviewing four papers. Three of them have a rebuttal. I wrote down my thoughts regarding the rebuttal for each. Across the three papers, one single (out of six) other reviewer has responded to the rebuttal.

Did you learn differential privacy (in part or in whole) from my course? Either the videos, lecture notes, or some combination? Please send me a DM or an email, I'm trying to gather some info. (In case you missed it, here's the course: www.gautamkamath.com/CS860-fa2020..., ft full notes & videos)
