FGVC's not dead! The 13th Workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization has been accepted to CVPR 2026, in Denver, Colorado! CALL FOR PAPERS: sites.google.com/view/fgvc13/ From Ecology to Medical Imagining, join us as we tackle the long tail and the limits of visual discrimination! #CVPR2026 #AI

We have two open PhD positions at the interface of AI and ecology. Start dates are Sept 2026. We are looking for candidates with a background in AI/CS, Math, Stats, or Physics that are passionate about solving challenging problems in these domains.  Application deadline is in two weeks.

I will be presenting this work from 11AM-2PM at #NeurIPS2025 in San Diego today! Come by poster #2012 to learn more :)

Heading to San Diego now for NeurIPS! Send me a message if you want to meet and chat about CV & human learning, or meet me at the poster session Thursday morning where I'll present CleverBirds: arxiv.org/abs/2511.08512

Excited to share our paper Representational Difference Explanations (RDX) was accepted to #NeurIPS2025! 🎉RDX is a new method for model diffing designed to isolate 🔍 representational differences. 1/7

From medicine to geo-guessing, humans can get incredibly good at solving visual recognition tasks. But how is this skill learned, and can we model its progression? We present CleverBirds, accepted #NeurIPS2025, a large-scale benchmark for visual knowledge tracing. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2511.08512 1/5

Prof. @tokehoye.bsky.social (Aarhus University) and I have an open PhD position (jointly advised) on biodiversity monitoring with camera trap networks. Deadline: 15-Jan-2026 Please help us share this post among students you know with an interest in Machine Learning and Biodiversity! 🤖🪲🌱

Excited to share my first work as a PhD student at EdinburghNLP that I will be presenting at EMNLP! RQ1: Can we achieve scalable oversight across modalities via debate? Yes! We show that debating VLMs lead to better model quality of answers for reasoning tasks.

There are now millions of publicly-available AI models – which one is right for you? We introduce CODA ( #ICCV2025 Highlight! ), a method for *active model selection.* CODA selects the best model for your data with any labeling budget – often as few as 25 labeled examples. 1/ @iccv.bsky.social

Interested in doing a PhD in machine learning at the University of Edinburgh starting Sept 2026? My group works on topics in vision, machine learning, and AI for climate. For more information and details on how to get in touch, please check out my website: homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/omacaod

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!

Reminder that the deadlines for submitting papers to the FGVC workshop at #CVPR2025 are coming up soon. The scope of the workshop is quite broad, e.g. fine-grained learning, multi-modal, human in the loop, etc. More info here: sites.google.com/view/fgvc12/... @cvprconference.bsky.social

New working paper with @tobiasbergmann.bsky.social on the deficit-investment trade-off of deficit rules. Comments and feedback are more than welcome! 📩
