This 👇 And I'd like to add: when as a teenager I learned about the lack of scale invariance of physics I was devastated and it took me a long time to recover from it. The wrong idea that a human on a tiny scale would function normally is inshrined in pop culture (eg. ant man), but very wrong.

A new model for human mesh recovery, high-performing and w/o using any 3D scans, has been published by my excellent colleagues at @naverlabseurope.bsky.social. Excellent work!

I recently learned that summer schools are a European thing and do not exist elsewhere. Wow. They seem so obvious, why didn't they spread?

"Sliding is all you need" (aka "What really matters in image goal navigation") has been accepted to 3DV 2026 (@3dvconf.bsky.social) as an Oral presentation! By Gianluca Monaci, @weinzaepfelp.bsky.social and myself. @naverlabseurope.bsky.social

Openreview is very unstable today. Lot's of different failures with various error messages. @openreview.bsky.social

Early morning train rides often provide spectacular views. (between Lyon and Grenoble).

Well played, #NeurIPS2025 video recording software (SlideLive) 😂

That is interesting and funny, and incidentally, the LLM is actually right in its statement, even if the conjecture proved to be correct in hindsight. It is also completely possible to provide a conjecture in a conclusion of paper as long as it is written as just that: a conjecture (suggestion).

I am late to game, but "One battle after the other" is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended. www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt3...

This is a nice initiative by the South Korean government. Love it. This is sound policy.

Launching the Physical AI AV Dataset! 🚀 huggingface.co/datasets/nvi... One of the largest, most diverse & commercially usable open-source datasets for AVs. - 1727 hours of driving data - Camera, LiDAR, & radar - 25 countries, 2500+ cities This is just the beginning, more features to come!

This it the first time I see Aphantasia (the inability of ~3% of people to mentally visualize images) as an argument for CV and AI. TLDR: the authors suggest that rendering and physics simulation are not dissociated; both are necessary for world models. arxiv.org/abs/2510.208... Luo et. al

Midway networks are cool: representation learning of motion and reconstruction jointly. I see similar motivation in V-JEPA 2 "AC", but I really like the execution here: - hierarchical, - backwards features with cross-attention. arxiv.org/abs/2510.05558 C. Hoang, @mengyer.bsky.social NYU

If we live in a simulation, then _of course_ it is AI generated ....

The ELLIS Society welcomes its new Board. As the primary decision-making body, it will play a vital role in shaping the future of ELLIS and advancing #AI and #MachineLearning research across Europe in a time of global change. Read the full article: ellis.eu/news/ellis-s...

"A house of dynamite" by Kathryn Bigelow, on Netflix, is an incredible movie. Recommended.

Delving into off-policy RL algorithms. Today: the Ripley buffer. (Repost from the old site from Oct. 2024, but I just rewatched Aliens for the probably 15th or so time)

I suspect that the public outcry over data centers powered by gas turbines would be far bigger if more people knew what they actually are: jet engines driving a shaft (and then, a generator) instead of pushing an aircraft. Imagine a 747 at full thrust 24h/day in your neighborhood.

This is a great video by Patrick Boyle on the cross-investments between many tech companies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbL7...

A PhD student starts a new project with multiple supervisors.

A reminder which might be relevant now: we are looking to hire a senior research scientist in Robotics at @naverlabseurope.bsky.social in Grenoble, France.

The combination of 3 words providing the second most Dopamine (after "I love you", of course), are "Accept as is".

Our paper "RANa: Retrieval-Augmented Navigation" has been accepted at TMLR! We retrieve waypoint images from a database and leverage the ImageNav capabilities from our SOTA agent DEBit to navigate to these waypoints, improving performance. arxiv.org/abs/2504.03524 @naverlabseurope.bsky.social

Nice article on PansSt3R with LojzeZust in #ICCV2025 Daily! rsipvision.com/ICCV2025-Tue...

📢 Research Opportunities! We’re seeking passionate postdocs & PhD students for cutting-edge #ComputerVision research in 3D/4D neural rendering. Fully funded at UofT or York, supervised by Profs. David Lindell, Kyros Kutulakos, or me. Co-supervision possible!

We have a new internship position open in our team at Naver Labs Europe, on AI for robotics: manipulation using 3D foundation models. @naverlabseurope.bsky.social This is a collaboration with Sorbonne University/ISIR (Nicolas Thome) You can apply online: careers.werecruit.io/en/naver-lab...

Hello Bsky-sphere, I need recommendations for Sci-Fi books. Here are my favorites up to now: Flowers for Algernon The "Silo" trilogy The "3 body problem" trilogy Diaspora / Permutation City Project Hail Mary The Diamond Age / Snow Crash The Forever War / Forever Peace Dune Thanks!

What are some things a regular person can access, which a billionaire can't have a much better version of, and probably even can only a degraded version? My take: friendship (Screenshot from @unixpickle.bsky.social on the other site)

I won't be at #ICCV25 but there is quite a big presence of our lab !

Stigler's law stipulates that no scientific invention has been named after its inventor. Stigler's law, of course, has been invented by Robert Merton. Examples: - Gaussian distributions were first described by de Moivre - L'hopital's rule is from Bernoulli - Hubble's law is from Lemaître

IT: "in 3 days we will cut services for some time" IT: "in 2 days we will cut services for some time" IT: "tomorrow, we will cut services for some time" Me, to myself, "ok ok I think we go it!" Me, today: why don't services work? I'll try rebooting my Mac, restart the vpn. Still. Let's ask IT...

Integration of multiple devices (Macbook, phone, iPad) by Apple software: excellent, almost too much (the Macbook does not need to tell me to go to bed just bc the iphone has a health mode). Integration by zoom: horrible. Eg. meeting starts on phone although I am already in the meeting on Mac.

I finished "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir yesterday, a great book. Thanks for the recommendation @csprofkgd.bsky.social!

Ever since I made a video about Fourier Transforms, one of the most requested topics on the channel has been its close cousin, the Laplace Transform. I've been having a lot of fun animating a mini-series about this topic, and the main part is now out. youtu.be/j0wJBEZdwLs
