BREAKING! Erlangen ist 2024 in eine Haushaltskrise gerutscht, weil eine Siemens Firma Steuern spart. Heute hat Siemens CEO Busch sich entschuldigt und als Sofortmassnahme 30 Mio€ an den Kämmerer überwiesen. Einzige Bedingung: Erlangen fördert wieder Klimaschutz. Dank an den Physik-Kollegen

The entire system is implemented as a CLAUDE.md file. Zero lines of executable code. Joint work with @visionbernie.bsky.social. Paper: www-users.york.ac.uk/~waps101/sig...

We organizers are both ecstatic and terrified for our inevitable automatization!

Gemeinsam mit @visionbernie.bsky.social starte ich eine Petition und brauche eure Hilfe: Wir müssen π verbieten, am besten noch heute! π ist gefährlich, illegal und wir müssen die Nutzung von π sofort verbieten. Teilt diese Petition, damit π endlich eliminiert werden kann #pillegal #jetztOderPi 1/n

Together with @mhundhausen.bsky.social, I am launching a petition and I need your help: We must ban π, preferably today! π is dangerous, illegal, and we must ban the use of π immediately. Share this petition such that π can finally be eliminated #pillegal #nowOrPi 1/n

This is my last paper! It is over #SIGBOVIK eggerbernhard.ch/EggerFlashBo...

HUGE thank you to @yukimasano.bsky.social for hosting me in Nürnberg and Amsterdam, @visionbernie.bsky.social in Erlangen, and @dimadamen.bsky.social in Bristol! Trip of a lifetime. 1/2

Happy! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 #Pareidolia #Pareidolie #Iseefaces #FacesInThings #FacesInPlaces #ThingsWithFaces #Leek

Außerdem will ich Mitarbeitende der @fau.de auf das Windenergie-Projekt aufmerksam machen. Es wird ein Windpark in Erlangen gebaut. Und an diesem Windpark können sich Bürger*innen beteiligen. Z.B. als Kommanditisten. Wer macht mit? Lieber @hornegger.bsky.social - das wäre zwar privates Engagement

To ensure compliance w peer-review policies, ICML has removed 795 reviews (1% of total) by reviewers who used LLMs when they explicitly agreed to not. Consequently, 497 papers (2% of all submissions) of these (reciprocal) reviewers have been desk rejected Details in blog post 👇

Spending the day in Erlangen 🤗

We will have @csprofkgd.bsky.social presenting on Friday 13th at noon in lecture hall 13 at @fau.de "In Search of Universal Concepts" Very much looking forward to this visit!

Very excited to have @csprofkgd.bsky.social at @fau.de this Friday - waiting for room confirmation, but talk will happen at noon And you thought Friday 13th is a bad day?

Quick pitstop in Erlangen. Plan to come back later this coming week for a proper visit at FAU hosted, hosted by @visionbernie.bsky.social

Very proud of Paul who got his master thesis at @fau.de accepted at @cvprconference.bsky.social - the most impactful conference! Joint supervision with @andreead-a.bsky.social , @jadgardner.bsky.social and @willsmithvision.bsky.social

I've got a new #visionscience video for you! Today I'm showing off how to see the hidden object in Magic Eye stereograms without worrying about getting your eyes lined up the right way. If you're interested in reading why this works... <1/2>

Today, I appointed Prof. Dr. Gözde Gül Sahin (Koç University, Türkiye) as Professor of Intelligent Language Systems. She works on NLP & LLMs for the hardest settings: rare and unseen tasks, languages, and domains with little data—building datasets, models, and benchmarks. Welcome to FAU, Gözde.

In Erlangen ist ein Windpark geplant. In der Zeitung wurde berichtet und eine Photomontage gezeigt, wo die nächste Anlage bei einem Abstand von 800m unrealistische 224m Nabenhöhe hätte. Die Photomontage passt so nicht. Mit @visionbernie.bsky.social habe ich das analysiert. Schaut unser Video:

🚀 Excited to share that our paper "Towards Integrating Multi-Spectral Imaging with Gaussian Splatting" was accepted at VMV 2025! 🎉 🔗 Project: meyerls.github.io/towards_mult... 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.00989 💻 Code: github.com/j-gruen/MS-S... #VMV25 #GaussianSplatting #NeRF #Multispectral

Bei der Windenergie tut sich etwas in Erlangen. Ein Windpark mit 8 Windenergieanlagen ist geplant und drei WEA sollen auf Erlanger Gebiet liegen. Wie sieht es mit Bürger*innenbeteiligung aus und wie wird der Windpark aussehen. @visionbernie.bsky.social hilft. Wir machen wieder ein Video zusammen

You did publish this year at @cvprconference.bsky.social @eccv.bsky.social @acmsiggraph.bsky.social ‪@ieeevis.bsky.social or a similar? VMV in Erlangen offers a nectar track where we invite you to present your already published work in a nectar track 🗓️ Submission Deadline: August 15th, 2025

Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions. Work with @zejinlu.bsky.social @sushrutthorat.bsky.social and Radek Cichy arxiv.org/abs/2507.03168

Great new world! The Bergkirchweih in Erlangen starts on Thursday June 6th... Except there is no Thursday June 6th this year

Here's a recording of my 3DV keynote from a couple weeks ago. If you're already familiar with my research, I recommend skipping to ~22 minutes in where I get to the fun stuff (whether or not 3D has been bitter-lesson'ed by video generation models) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFlF...

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be. – Francois Jacob www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Die Aufzeichnung meines Vortrags im @collalex.bsky.social der @fau.de mit dem Titel "Synergie zwischen Mensch und KI" ist nun online www.fau.tv/clip/id/53839 Danke an unser Multimediazentrum am @rrze.de

Finally let's revisit “AMOR: Ambiguous Authorship Order” our 2024 #SIGBOVIK contribution that resolved author ordering problems once and for all! We just implement animated author lists eggerbernhard.ch/AMOR.pdf (and no, our server is not down, your iPhone is just not ready for Science 2.0)

Tired of seeing your papers being rejected from @cvprconference.bsky.social ? Let's revisit our 2023 #SIGBOVIK paper: "From Zero to Hero: Convincing with Extremely Complicated Math", led by @maxweiherer.bsky.social Paper: mweiherer.github.io/zero2hero.pdf Code: github.com/mweiherer/ze... 1/4

An @fau.de gibt es coole Leute. Hier traf ich @visionbernie.bsky.social. Wir forschen seitdem zusammen. Nachdem wir vor einem Jahr #ISSVerschwörung geklärt haben youtu.be/d2jgkvvj0vg, haben wir jetzt ultimativ die Erdform geklärt. Schaut mal: youtu.be/97Sali0fPSE #FAUcool @hornegger.bsky.social

Three years after this transformative work we presented #SIGBOVIK, there are still Erlkönig cars on our streets! "A Free Computer Vision Lesson for Car Manufacturers or It is Time to Retire the Erlkönig" eggerbernhard.ch/erlkoenig.pdf Still proud of this work by @maxweiherer.bsky.social 1/4

"ACTION: A Catchy Title Is all yOu Need!" eggerbernhard.ch/action.pdf another pearl from #SIGBOVIK 2022 Reviewer 2 raised concerns that our title actually proves that it is not only about the title but also an acronym. 3 years later we still refuse to thank the reviewer for their feedback.

It's time for a confession: After 5 years of continous mastery I have nothing for #SIGBOVIK this year! But I inspired others, and this is probably what I'm most proud of this year (and it's not wasting my time)! This will change @cvprconference.bsky.social and @neuripsconf.bsky.social forever!

This work on "(Un)helper functions" was probably the most unhelpful project I was ever involved in - thanks for nothing @thiskevinsmith.bsky.social ! eggerbernhard.ch/unhelper.pdf This is unhelpful and of no interest to anyone who wants to learn to code, a complete waste of time #SIGBOVIK

Forget ChatGPT! This will revolutionize science! openCHEAT: Computationally Helped Error bar Approximation Tool - Kickstarting Science 4.0 eggerbernhard.ch/SIGBOVIK_ope... Plenty of happy users since 2021! 1/5

"self driving is about two scalars" is what @jonbarron.bsky.social claimed in his keynote @3dvconf.bsky.social and he could not be more wrong! And this besides our impactful publication from 2020 on level 6 autonomous driving! sigbovik.org/2020/proceed... When will industry finally listen to us?

Die Erde ist rund! Glaubst Du, weisst Du oder glaubst Du zu wissen? Oder doch flach? Schonmal vom Innenweltkosmos gehört? Es ist Zeit Fragen zu stellen! @mhundhausen.bsky.social und ich haben für Dich nachgemessen! #flatEarth #flacheErde #ISFET #Verschwörung www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Sa... @fau.de
