It was a privilege to share with @spectrum.ieee.org about the work we do on TraffickCam to support the analysts @ncmec.org in recognizing where victims of human trafficking and child sexual abuse are photographed.

SLU HAS DONE IT!! An epic come back by Saint Louis Univetsity as they win 3-2 and they’re onto the #CollegeCup in Cary, NC as one of the final four in @ncaasoccer.bsky.social!

Woooo! Let’s go Billikens! (This was so stressful.)

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

We'll be presenting QuARI in the 11am poster session today! Project: ericx003.github.io/proj/quari/ Code: github.com/mvrl/QuARI/ Poster: #4806 (neurips.cc/virtual/2025...)

and now for your umpteenth reminder that the best way to fight human trafficking is to support measures that ease poverty and promote affordable housing, not to go hunting for hidden coded messages on the internet

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

@aoc.bsky.social should announce primary of @schumer.senate.gov tonight. Either he orchestrated this on the backs of retiring senators and ones like Kaine who aren’t up until 2030, or he has laughably bad control of his caucus. In either case, he must go. Why were we put through this for 40 days?!

They should not have fucked over all of our federal employees and hurt so many people for literally nothing.

Husband has been out of work for 40 days. The disrespect to the challenges we’ve had to just give up and not get anything. If this is what you were going to do, do it 40 days ago… I can’t even describe the betrayal we feel @schumer.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Mix of Bon Bon Anglais and Country Club and it’s not even close.

Come work with me @slu-official.bsky.social! The Department of Computer Science is running an open rank search with an emphasis on AI and Cybersecurity (although we’ll consider other areas as well for extraordinary candidates). slu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Career...

If Diego has a million haters, @stlcitypress.bsky.social is one of them. If he has one hater, it's @stlcitypress.bsky.social. If he has zero haters, @stlcitypress.bsky.social is dead.

#CV4EO will be back at #WACV2026 @wacvconference.bsky.social ! The schedule is taking shape, and we are looking for full paper submissions (in the proceedings) and non-archival short papers on a variety of computer vision for earth observation topics! More info at: geoai.ornl.gov/cv4eo-wacv/

Eric Xing, the first author on this paper and a PhD student with @jacobsn.bsky.social at WashU, doesn't seem to be on bsky. But he's a rockstar who's been killing it finding new ways to attack the sorts of very hard retrieval problems that our labs care about (like TraffickCam!).

Super happy that QuARI: Query Adaptive Retrieval Improvement was accepted at #NeurIPS2025. You can significantly boost retrieval performance for very hard retrieval tasks by learning query-specific transformations of your encoders. w/ @jacobsn.bsky.social @pless.bsky.social arxiv.org/pdf/2505.21647

Oh ffs #AllforCITY. WE WANT TOTS!

The best right back at the club, who specializes in "movement in behind," has played zero (0) minutes in the last 5 games. #AllForCITY has 3/15 points in that span. -2 in goals, -2.7 in xG.

This one called for an EMERGENCY @stlcitypress.bsky.social Wednesday Minute. open.spotify.com/episode/2KGN... #AllForCITY

Is Danny Röhl #AllforCITY bound?!?! If so, you clearly should be listening to the only CITY podcast that has had a dedicated “Wednesday Minute” since its inception, @stlcitypress.bsky.social!

Annnnd I’m angry again.

When the opponent’s coach apologizes for winning, you know you have a shit product. MLS and PRO need to improve dramatically. Embarrassing stuff

Full stop, that was garbage. Absolutely ridiculous for the VAR check to even occur at 110’ much less it be called a penalty on Joyner and @stlcitysc.com. This is an embarrassment for MLS.

I have found ACing for NeurIPS this year a miserable experience and I've been struggling to articulate why without basically whining about it being too much work (although.....true. My god the amount of words I'm reading...). But I think I've figured out part of my dislike for this process.

Bürki comes off his line early and Nashville will retake. Honestly, stutter steps should be banned. Or if they're allowed, let the 'keeper come off the line as soon as the taker hesitates. They're already at a massive disadvantage as-is. Why compound it?

A total of 12 people have walked on the Moon. Most people can name at least one (Neil Armstrong). Some can name two (Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin). Few can name more than that. Jim Lovell never walked on the Moon, but everyone knows him as the guy who got his crew back safely. Hell of a legacy. RIP.

Probably had to happen but still sad. Gotta always remember his amazing bicycle kick: youtube.com/shorts/K9_Jc...

As a #NeurIPS AC I did a little stat. Paper reviews+responses in my batch contain 515k characters and 75k words. This is without including papers themselves or authors/reviewers discussions. So please be nice to your AC, we are doing our best. Also I miss the one page PDF response of old ICML.

What a sky over Energizer Park for the #AllforCITY friendly vs Aston Villa.

Ours is a sad, sad existence #AllforCITY (but it hurts)

Everytime you think think St. Louis might be turning a corner they walk into something catastrophic

I need another CITY 2 vs #allforcity scrimmage, I’m trying to see something.

Fun fact: Johnny Russell, Roman Burki and I were all born the same year. Burki is clearly the youngest looking of our bunch but I do think I’m a slightly younger looking 35 than Russell. #allforcity (This is perhaps the only fun fact of this game, which is generally not super fun.)

If you’d like to hear me rant about this, check out the most recent episode of @stlcitypress.bsky.social!

Absolutely unconscionable that the #AllforCITY staff let Baumgartl go back on there. @mattbakerstl.bsky.social please please please ask about this in the post game press conference? Durkin all over again.

It was a privilege to organize this year’s @cvprconference.bsky.social Doctoral Consortium. The students are rockstars, and there were such great conversations with amazing mentors from academia and industry. Huge thanks to the National Science Foundation for their continuous support for the event.

Very excited that my NSF CAREER proposal was funded! In this project, we will develop image search systems that are more readily aligned with expert knowledge. The capabilities will be incorporated into TraffickCam, our search system deployed at NCMEC for recognizing where victims are photographed.

My absolute favorite follow — @offsidemodeling.bsky.social — is posting again!

I can guarantee these are NOT the post-Olof takes you’ll get from any other #AllforCITY pod. If you’re looking for absolutely no clear conclusions, existential angst, gossip, vamping on new and questionable statistics, “female emotions”, and misnaming of the new coach, boy have I got a pod for you.

The #WACV2026 Call for Papers is live at wacv.thecvf.com/Conferences/...! First round paper registration is coming up on July 11th, with the submission deadline on July 18th (all deadlines are 23:59 AoE).

Lol

Damn. Oh well, let’s try the same things again next time. #AllforCITY

Had a ton of fun with the kiddos at the @stlcitysc.com Open Cup match against @unionomaha.bsky.social. And in the last few minutes, we actually played some compelling offense! More of that please!

The pricing for tomorrow night’s #AllforCITY Open Cup match is just infuriating given the current product on the field, that it’s general admission, that it’s against Union Omaha, that it’s a midweek game, etc etc.

Had to say goodbye to my best old girl today. Love you Gigi. 💔☹️

#AllforCITY sigh.

@mattbakerstl.bsky.social @tomtimm.bsky.social @hornekerjustin.bsky.social I beg someone to ask what was on the note

It’s possible my #handsoff protest sign was a bit of a deep cut.
