Working on image translation? Domain adaptation? Check out FlowEO, newly accepted to #WACV2026. 📝 hal.science/hal-05388176 We introduce a data-dependent flow matching framework to perform image-level unsupervised domain adaptation of remote sensing imagery. Great work from @lebellig.bsky.social!

Cela veut dire qu'en 6 ans, les heures complémentaires réalisées par un EC "moyen" à 192 HED annuels sont passées de 55 HED (en 2017) à 70 HED (en 2023). Les HC des contractuels ont quant à elles quasiment doublées sur la période.

See, this is why the public hates AI. We let these kind of people act like this, because we are spoiled little brats who want bigger and bigger datasets. In the end, this is quite the spitting image of a lot of ML research: "that's just data, dude".

Want to work on generative models and Earth Observation? 🌍 I'm looking for: 🧑‍💻 an intern on generative models for change detection 🧑‍🔬 a PhD student on neurosymbolic generative models for geospatial data Both starting beginning of 2026. Details are below, feel free to email me!

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

The weird thing is that even in academia we fall for this. Every time I have tried an LLM for a real task, it failed, sometimes catastrophically. And I still have colleagues telling me that "I'm not using right" or "not on the right problems". Well, I'm using it for MY problems! And it sucks!

Une nouvelle expo temporaire au meilleur musée de Paris. 🎓

What the hell is that? arxiv.org/pdf/2510.24036 Is this some kind of bibliometric optimization strategy? Students pushing fake plagiarized papers to bootstrap their Google Scholar account? I don't understand what the game is here.

Félicitations au nouveau docteur Maxime Mérizette qui a soutenu avec brio ce matin sa thèse sur la segmentation sémantique de petits objets dans des nuages de points 3D. Un vaste travail mêlant données synthétiques, pseudo-annotations de modèles profonds. Bravo ! 👏🏻

📄 New paper led by @leleogere.bsky.social on detecting notational errors in digital music scores. 🎼 To be presented at TENOR 2025! ⤵️ hal.science/hal-05294807

I'm done with reviewing for AAAI. This year was the cherry on top: 1. Accepted to review 1 paper while in vacation 2. Assigned 4 papers instead of 1 3. Guilt-tripped when I pushed back 4. Assigned an emergency review with 24h notice *on a Sunday* I get it 29000 papers is a lot, but I'm a volunteer!

Breaking news from #AI4EO symposium: cows confirmed as extraterrestrial beings. 👽 #CowsFromSpace More information to come.

I wrote about the tragic death of Adam Raine and the venal negligence of "AI Safety." www.argmin.net/p/the-banal-...

No.

Désappointé par cet article de Next Inpact qui parle de guerres de chapelle dans le monde de « l'IA » et qui mentionne... un unique chercheur, et encore, en passant. On a encore du boulot sur la planche en terme de médiation scientifique. next.ink/196011/lia-s...

I still can't believe the existence of this nerdy heavy metal song about a remote sensing satellite launched by @esa.int Everything about it is so damn perfect. We should have something like that for every single publicly funded project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPxO...

I've said before but """agents""" are basically RCE and phishing-as-a-service. I cannot fathom why anyone, moreso anyone with some security awareness, would give an LLM privileged access to their computer.

And now the last keynote after the poster session from Erin Trochim from UAF! Panel session afterwards and best paper awards following that!

After the first block of spotlights we now move to the second keynote by Razvan Cosac from @esa.int Ground Segment!

A #computervision researcher at #ICML2025

Starting with a keynote from Sujit Roy from @thenasaearth.bsky.social IMPACT!

It's almost time! TerraBytes starts tomorrow at @icmlconf.bsky.social 2025 in Vancouver #ICML2025 📍 08:30 West Meeting Room 111-112 🗞️ Papers are now accessible on the workshop website below the programme: terrabytes-workshop.github.io

I'm at #ICML2025 this week. If you wanna chat about ML, geospatial data and Earth observation, or just grab a coffee, hit me up! And come to the TerraBytes workshop on Saturday, we have an amazing lineup on ML for Earth observation! 🌎 terrabytes-workshop.github.io

Pour les collègues francophones, vous saviez que le FID était tout cassé ? Moi non plus. Pourtant, si on s'y prend bien, on peut calculer le FID avec moins de 1000 images. J'en parlerai au GRETSI fin août : hal.science/hal-05142942 👀

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐁𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Razvan Cosac will deliver the second keynote at TerraBytes 2025! Stay tuned for more updates and join us at @icmlconf.bsky.social terrabytes-workshop.github.io

Browsing old mails, I found one from 2015 during my internship at TUM working on facial expression recognition. I had completely forgotten that I was considering using synthetic data at that time! We dabbled with MakeHuman for a while but gave up. Funny I'm still into that 10 years later.

This is depressing.

I think the one legit use case is "I need to produce some plausible sounding nonsense to satisfy some set of bureaucratic requirements" // it is a bullshit machine but if what you need is to write some bullshit then a bullshit machine can really speed that up

🚨 New paper alert! Are you working on or curious about multimodal representation learning without annotations? Come check out our work at #ICLR2025: "What to align in multimodal contrastive learning?" openreview.net/pdf?id=Pe3Ax... 📍 Poster Session 4, Hall 3 #331 -> Friday at 3pm!

Local agentic AI is just another word for remote code execution. It's a vulnerability hell and there is no path to make it secure. Letting agents run code based on arbitrary unvalidated inputs is gonna end badly for you and I'm amazed that some people think otherwise.

📢 Ce vendredi au Cnam Paris, journée de recherche du GDR IASIS : Détection de changement dans les données géospatiales 🗺️ ➡️ Ouvert à tous et toutes, inscription gratuite mais obligatoire : gdr-iasis.cnrs.fr/reunions/det...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Violets are blue, Roses are red,

It's been nearly two years but Elias Ramzi's final Ph.D. work has finally been accepted into TPAMI: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/108... 🎉 We provide a comprehensive framework to optimize ranking-based losses, with applications to image retrieval (but not only!) that merges ROADMAP and HAPPIER.

🚨 Future open positions in AI at my home institution* targeted towards young researchers. These are tenure track positions with a good starting package, aimed at guiding you towards an ERC StG within 4 years. Feel free to contact me in DM. *ENPC, part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris

Vous avez jusqu'à la fin de la semaine pour nous envoyer vos contributions ! Venez nous expliquer comment vous détectez des changements dans vos données, peu importe leur nature !
