Introducing MilliVid, our new method for long-context video generation! MilliVid creates videos that are consistent over long time spans, without using retrieval heuristics or 3D maps! (1/n)

How well can a model watch a short video of some physical dynamics and actually predict what happens next?

Introducing MPMWorlds: a new dataset and benchmark to evaluate how well models can reconstruct and extrapolate physical dynamics from video.

Come check out our talk at #CHI2026 tomorrow (Fri) at 9:45am! We present CineCraft, an interactive mobile app that unifies planning, capture, and post-processing for cinematography on a single device. Fun combining my filmmaking hobbies with research! https://t.co/UAWA7nhR6m

This work was done during my internship at Snap Research, before starting my PhD, with Di Liu, @MaSizhuo60625, Michael Vasilkovsky, Bing Zhou, Qiang Gao, Wenzhou Wang, Jiahao Luo, Dimitri Metaxas,
@vincesitzmann, and Jian Wang

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

If you're at @wacv_official tomorrow come see our poster on Snapmoji! It's our system to generate and animate 3D avatars of yourself. I'll be at poster location 51 from 4:00-5:45 on Sunday!

Check out Evan's work on scaling view synthesis transformers!

[Evan Kim @evnkimm]

How do you train compute-optimal novel view synthesis models?

In our CVPR ‘26 paper Scaling View Synthesis Transformers, we uncover key design choices through scaling and careful ablations--and along the way train a new SoTA with 3x less compute. (1/n)

[MrNeRF @janusch_patas]

I think here it is much clearer that they are using 3dgs.

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

@aratahikaru0 @sichy @Olympics Yes, I think so!

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

Wow, it seems like the @Olympics broadcast is using Gaussian splats now. Some "spikeys" at the 10 second mark

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

@sichy @Olympics It's hard to see from the video compression but there are individual Gaussians visible around the skater from around 0:09 - 0:12

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

@RadianceFields It's really hard to tell what renders are splats and what are traditional photogrammetry techniques. But here I think the elongated Gaussian artifacts made it easy to tell

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

@Jimantha Thanks Noah!

[Boyuan Chen @BoyuanChen0]

Introducing Large Video Planner (LVP-14B) — a robot foundation model that actually generalizes. LVP is built on video gen, not VLA. As my final work at @MIT, LVP has all its eval tasks proposed by third parties as a maximum stress test, but it excels!🤗

[George Cazenavette @GCazenavette]

Happy to finally share our latest work on Dataset Distillation!

"Dataset Distillation for Pre-Trained Self-Supervised Vision Models," set to appear at #NeurIPS 2025!

We learn 1 image per class to train linear heads for pre-trained models.

@SkyLi0n I think Grain from Google is the answer. It's compatible with parquet, can load from cloud buckets, and works very nicely with data sharding

[Clément Jambon @clementjambon]

🔈@SeanXZhan and I are excited to share PhysiOpt, a differentiable physics optimizer that improves the physical integrity of 3D generative model outputs, which we will present at SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 in collaboration with Evan Thompson, Kenney Ng, and Mina Konaković Luković.

[Gautam Kamath @thegautamkamath]

This is more apparent than ever for #ICLR2026. Reviewers accusing authors of abusing AI. Authors accusing reviewers of abusing AI. Are they right? Maybe. But regardless, everyone is looking over their shoulders and at each others' throats.

[Eric Ming Chen @ericmchen1]

@Haian_Jin @Jimantha Congrats Haian!

[CDEL Workshop @ ECCV 26' @cdel_workshop]

Our schedule is live!

https://t.co/wYia8vwYzW

We have posters, oral presentations, and invited talks from @liuzhuang1234, @sarameghanbeery, @andrewhowens, Phillip Isola, and Alyosha Efros!

See you in Hawaii!
