I think kids at school should have a class on writing tests.

And the answer is 0.9999 for the win. Lower confidence value always gives you worse results for more or less same runtime. More in our RANSAC Tutorial at #ICCV2025

Introducing DINOv3 🦕🦕🦕 A SotA-enabling vision foundation model, trained with pure self-supervised learning (SSL) at scale. High quality dense features, combining unprecedented semantic and geometric scene understanding. Three reasons why this matters👇

The French often mention the roundabout at Arc de Triomphe as one of the ultimate tests for a self-driving vehicle. I would say that the equivalent for humanoid robots would be to unwrap Chupa Chups Lollipop. Take that Embodied AI!

I'm still puzzed by what type of memory would allow for such behavior: The girl disappeared for several seconds after full occlusion (sec. 13-14), however appeared once more at the end of the video. So it is clearly not LSTM style memory. Any ideas?

SCMs often assume overly-dense causal graphs in dynamic settings 👉⚽🥎, since any object interaction is a potential causal edge, making them hard to scale. In joint work with @turanorujlu.bsky.social @cgumbsch.bsky.social & Martin Butz we propose a new Causal Process Model to tackle this. Thread👇

Happy to organize #CoRL2025 Workshop! If you are interested in world models or learning simulators for robotics, consider joining! simulatingrobotworlds.github.io More info 👇

🚀 We’re pleased to announce our workshop at CoRL 2025: Learning to Simulate Robot Worlds! Workshop website: simulatingrobotworlds.github.io The workshop aims to cover topics like physics-grounded simulation, photorealistic digital twins, AI-controlled simulators, to learned neural world models.

🌍🤖 What is the best way to explore the world to learn a robust world model from high dimensional data? 🤖🌍 SENSEI learns to explore from humans by reusing semantics structure discovered by VLMs and exploring around most interesting for VLM states. #ICML2025

Some hard evals. 1) IMC24 train -- Lizard. Reconstruction is good, but summer and winter are two separate nearby 2) IMC 24 train -- pond. Results are hard to tell. 3) Room with mirror - almost ideal Overall the results are very impressive, but SfM is not solved yet. 1/

It is pointless, but. My US friends - it will not stop after 4 years with next elections. Either you stop it yourself in some way, or there will be no fair elections next time. Democracy is fragile. P.S. If you like what is going on - enjoy.

I'm curious to which category "making things with LLM/code-gen" falls. I would guess that it still feels that the Python script entirely generated LLM (e.g., R1) still feels satisfying as you can modify any aspect of it, even if you don't have to most of the time for simple tasks.

Asking for a friend: how many hours it is OK to spend trying to fit answers including references to 1-page CVPR rebuttal answer and do not feel like I'm spending public money for something really useless?

Useful thread to remind ourselves that while evidence can look like supporting opposite strong priors, in reality, evidence can suggest that both priors are incorrect and more evidence needed. P.S. 3 figures from the thread could be a nice triptych that would be a good reminder to stay open-minded.

I have switched from X and Facebook to Bluesky. I will delete both my X and Facebook accounts in a little bit.

After reading about Genesis, I think quite a few features seem to come directly from Taichi ("parallel programming language for high-performance numerical computation") that uses pytorch backend. With all the marketing here, I'm most puzzled I haven't heard about Taichi before

Can we enhance the performance of T2I models without any fine-tuning? We show that with our ReNO, Reward-based Noise Optimization, one-step models consistently surpass the performance of all current open-source Text-to-Image models within the computational budget of 20-50 sec! #NeurIPS2024

My earlier post was not intended to dunk on the Sora model or on Jim Fan, but to call out, and advise against, the ML community's frequent vice of resorting to "wishful mnemonics" – such as calling a video generation model a "physics engine". x.com/chrisoffner3...

Am I the only one who is thinking that one list of followers is an outdated way to decide what should be in the timeline? Why not multiple lists?

I think such location+topic based lists are really useful! Found a lot of people with whom I was previously connected!

Turns out aria-glasses are a very useful tool to demonstrate actions to robots: Based on egocentric video we track dynamic changes in a scene graph and use the representation to replay or plan interactions for robots 🔗 behretj.github.io/LostAndFound/ 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2411.19162 📺 youtu.be/xxMsaBSeMXo

Fully agree with this part. Always like to think of "upper bounds" with privileged info and do test them - quite often the results are not as expected and then one starts to understand the problem better. While this could seem slower, in the long run it often leads to more interesting results
