Special thanks to @elliottwu.bsky.social for visiting @bristoluni.bsky.social to give a #MaVi for a seminar: From Pixels to 3D Motion We enjoyed your visit! Thanks for staying through for all 1-1s with the researchers.

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...

Nice writeup in @caltech.edu news about the impact of the #Visipedia project in Computer Vision and Citizen Science

We have a new sequence model for robotics, which will be presented at #NeurIPS2025: Kinaema: A recurrent sequence model for memory and pose in motion arxiv.org/abs/2510.20261 By @mbsariyildiz.bsky.social, @weinzaepfelp.bsky.social, G. Bono, G. Monaci and myself @naverlabseurope.bsky.social 1/9

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.

Many thanks to Francois Bremond (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis) for a 2-day #Bristol visit @bristoluni.bsky.social #MaVi (Machine Learning and Computer Vision) research group. Great presentation incl. #CVPR2025 and #ICCV2025 papers from Francois's group, sharing insights and future directions 1/2

Say hello to @margretkeuper.bsky.social, Prof at Uni Mannheim 🇩🇪 and ELLIS Fellow at ELLIS Unit Saarbrücken. Her area of research is machine learning for computer vision. Her advice: When your research goals are much harder than anticipated, take a step back to see the big picture. #WomenInELLIS

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...

Thanks 2 organisers of DataCV and Ego360 workshops for inviting me to give remote talks @iccv.bsky.social this morning. To catch up #ICCV2025, the slides for both talks are available: * Creating a CV Dataset in 2025 * Video Understanding Out of the frame dimadamen.github.io/talks.html

We round off #iccv25 with highlight paper Geo4D on Thur TLDR: Geo4D repurposes a video diffusion model to reconstruct dynamic scenes in 4D Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2504.07961 Project: geo4d.github.io @chuanxiaz.bsky.social @dlarlus.bsky.social rlus.bsky.social @oxford-vgg.bsky.social gg.bsky.social 🧵9

1/2 day of presentations - v good usage of time... Great research across PIs of Machine Learning and Computer Vision (MaVi) group @bristoluni.bsky.social uob-mavi.github.io 1/2

The #CVPR2026 submission portal is now open! Author guidelines: cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/...

I have at least one position in my group that I plan to fill through the @ellis.eu #ELLISPhD program. This could be under the Academic or Industrial tracks... If interested, please apply through the central application process.

Thanks @ellis.eu for the highlight... It is always fun to think about the short-term and long-term goals,

My lucky day today to tour with the autonomous UK-based Wayve car! I was impressed by how smooth to change from manual to full auto - was instantaneous! The car manoeuvred the narrow lanes of west London calmly, confidently and with skill! Thanks Ani Kembhavi for the opportunity 1/2

Always proud that our small team of 2 PIs &10 PhD students continues to feature in outstanding reviewer awards at major venues. This @iccv.bsky.social #ICCV2025, 2 students: Siddhant Bansal and Jacob Chalk were selected. Well-done! tinyurl.com/ICCV2025OR

Yet another email... I have to admit these LLMs produce good paper titles I have *not* written: "Hi Dr. Damen... I am applying for... Your recent work on "Video Understanding with Transformers" (2024) and "Deep Learning for Activity Recognition" (2023) particularly resonates with my experience" !!

So You Want to Be an Academic? A couple of years into your PhD, but wondering: "Am I doing this right?" Most of the advice is aimed at graduating students. But there's far less for junior folks who are still finding their academic path. My candid takes: anandbhattad.github.io/blogs/jr_gra...

As an SAC for @neuripsconf.bsky.social, I don't agree with PCs approach to reject papers based on ranking. I ranked my accepted papers as requested and explicitly stated that I support the acceptance of all papers. I was not given an explanation of why papers at the end of the rank were rejected.

Finally the dates for @cvprconference.bsky.social are public! cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/... And there's an additional week for supp videos 🥰

Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉 At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

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

Warning to PhD students… Even after you graduate, whenever and wherever you catch up with your supervisor… they will chase you for a catch up and photo… @hazeldoughty.bsky.social @ekazakos.bsky.social

How to name your method: a comprehensive flow chart

We have released the code, checkpoints and datasets for GROVE! Grab them at github.com/ekazakos/grove. We also provide grove-transformers — an inference-only interface for GROVE, implemented with 🤗 Transformers. You can load GROVE and try it on any video data in just a few lines of code!

When emailing for PhD positions, it's a smart move to use LLMs to avoid typos and grammatical mistakes ... but check for hallucinations! "I am particularly drawn to your recent work on multi-view video understanding and your development of datasets .. (e.g., the Something-Something dataset). "

Dima Damen opens the afternoon session of #PAISS2025 with a presentation on egocentric vision. At which point does an egg become an egg-shell and how do we deal with the fact that the egg-shell looks more like the "old egg" than the "new egg" in the pan now does? @dimadamen.bsky.social

We couldn't get more lucky with the weather last night for the #PAISS2025 gala - sponsored by @naverlabseurope.bsky.social

The hidden flaws in your favorite foundation model: We've uncovered how subtle image metadata (JPEG params, camera type, etc.) systematically biases visual representations and consequently affect the object recognition ability. To be presented at #ICCV2025 as a highlight paper.

This is one of the coolest ideas using EPIC-KITCHENS in a long while... We've all been waiting to be replaced by robots! At least this is now done in the generative space... Great work by Marion Lepert, Jiaying Fang and @leto--jean.bsky.social from Stanford IPRL.. congrats! arxiv.org/abs/2508.09976
