🧠 Can we recover the equations governing a system directly from noisy, high-dimensional observations?
#DYSCO, by Paolo Muratore, is a first step: it learns latent spaces that capture the underlying dynamics & enables recovery of governing equations

Interested in how we estimate 3D poses for humans and animals using flow matching?

Come check out our work, #FMPose3D, at CVPR 2026!

Today at the CV4Animals Workshop poster session:
11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., ExHall A
Looking forward to seeing you there! 😀

🥳 New work from my lab (@MLabofAI) just dropped on @arxiv! Measuring the shape of an animal can be highly useful for biomedical applications and for avatars 😎

We introduce *PRIMA*:🔥SOTA 2D➡️3D animal shape by @xiaoyu912huang, @TiwangCS & I!

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

And now, accepted to #CVPR2026! 🙌🔥 @CVPR ⬇️

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

🚨 ✨ New 3D pose estimation method from @mwmathislab! #FMPose3D allows for monocular (i.e. single camera) 2D ➡️ 3D 🔥

Led by @TiwangCS & w/@xiaoyu912huang #FMPose3D is SOTA on human & animal 3D benchmarks, & will be integrated into @DeepLabCut ⬇️👀

💉 Finding clinical trials & knowing which are useful is an overwhelming task, even if you know where to start!

I worked on a simple @Gradio app for parsing clinical trials+ adding a #DeepSeek model to rank trials + user Q&A. I hope its useful to many:

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

🔥🍾 massive congratulations to @shaokaiyeah and Haozhe Qi for #LLaVAction to be accepted to #ICLR2026!

TL;DR the first MMLLM for action understanding, + a new benchmark, + methods to train your MMLLMs for such tasks 🕺🏻💃🏼

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

👀 How can we use new neuroscience insights to build *adaptive* AI agents and leverage the many foundation models ( which are much like different brain areas)?

Check out my pitch in @NatureNeuro in the Jan 2026 issue 💚 ⬇️
