Accepted to #3DV2026!

wandb down

I don't want to submit to any conference that would accept my paper.

CVPR compute form is so incredibly dumb.

Did everyone get this?

why is this so true

I just put `MultiScaleDeformableAttention` wheels on pypi under `ms-deform-attn`. Should make stuff involving mask2former a bit smoother.

Gonna start using this

Pro-tip: Set the loss range in your wandb plot unreasonably low to motivate your models to try harder.

AGI is when models write good multi-dim torch indexing code.

Cursor tab likes to sprinkle in some "delete 20 lines of code" seemingly at random. I like that it adds a bit of excitement to the coding experience.

Spooky features

Sweden is a Monarchy that functions like a Democracy. Some other countries do it the other way round. Must say I prefer the former.

All papers I was assigned for 3DV were significantly higher quality than the papers I was assigned for ICCV.

Yesterday I (successfully) defended my doctoral thesis 🎉 You are now forced to call me Dr. Edstedt.

Worth going!

Hinton, the random plumber of AI

Went to Carolina Revidiva in Uppsala to see Carta Marina (my thesis cover) in person

I'd like to reiterate this point, but even for outputs with 3 or less channels (xyz, depth, warps, etc). What you end up selecting for is aesthetic appeal, although that might be good for getting papers accepted...

Architecture search from scratch is terrifying. Search space is basically infinite, and any of your choices could cripple the model.

Happy to share that I've been recognized as one of the "Above Mediocre Reviewers" for ICCV 2025! bsky.app/profile/iccv...

Something I've noticed, particularly for book series, is that ratings tend to increase. My assumption is that this is mainly driven by the fact that people who didn't like the first book are unlikely to read the second and so on.

DaD keypoints are pretty cool when shown as video :)

Here's a recording of my talk on how perspective works! If you're interested in learning about how picture perspective works in human vision, this is the video to watch. #visionscience www.youtube.com/watch?v=eamc...

uv people: Is there a clean way to change your pinned python version without having to manually edit pyproject.toml and .python-version? E.g., `uv python pin 3.12` does not work in an already existing env with another python.

Me: I want high-quality 3D dataset Mom: We have high quality 3D dataset at home The 3D dataset at home:

Extreme oof, cursor cli now needs glibc 2.29 for inexplicable reasons, RIP.

This 'quote' at Uppsala university lit. "Thinking freely is great, but thinking correctly is greater." has an interesting history.

Swedish tradition dictates that you literally nail your thesis to a board (or tree), to allow the public to review your work before the defense.

Best illusion I've seen in a while

RoMa now on PyPI under name of `romatch`

Fixing some very dumb implementation things in RoMa, should be ~2x faster and way less memory intensive soon.

Who thought this made sense?

Please Python people, if your function doesn't have obvious defaults don't write def f(a = shitty_default_a, b = horrible_default_b): ... Write def f(*, a, b): ...

Got sick and couldn't code for a few days

guess why

My defense is on the 8th of October. If you're in the Linköping area, feel free to attend!

Pro-tip: If your log-plot still is not convincing enough, just take another logarithm. As a matter of fact, just keep taking logarithms until things feel good.

As a number go up kind of guy it's very painful to give up things that make number go up. Sometimes you just have to do it tho.
