[AutoSOTA @AutoSOTA11]

We are excited to launch AutoSOTA Live @ CVPR 2026: an attempt to reproduce and improve the latest CVPR papers at scale during the conference.

Autonomous research systems have recently shown great potential to accelerate AI research, such as AutoResearch by @karpathy and AI Scientist by @SakanaAILabs . Inspired by these breakthroughs, AutoSOTA aims to scale automated AI research to the level of top AI conferences: while CVPR presents new ideas, AutoSOTA stress-tests, reproduces, and pushes them further in real time. AutoSOTA does not seek to diminish the original scientific contributions of human researchers; rather, it aims to serve as an innovation accelerator, exploring how far these ideas can be advanced within a very short time period.

As AI research continues to scale, reproducing, validating, and extending published methods has become an increasingly important part of the research cycle. AutoSOTA closes this loop through a tightly coordinated multi-agent architecture designed to mirror the workflow of human research teams. Over the coming days, AutoSOTA will progressively produce detailed traces of replication and enhancement for the latest CVPR papers, offering full transparency into how automated agents diagnose code, reflect on model architectures, and improve performance beyond the original SOTA.

Check out our perspective on urban experienced inequality @NatureHumBehav!

[James Evans @profjamesevans]

The city each person lives in is distinct...shaped by places they can and cannot go, experiences they can and cannot have, people with whom they can and cannot connect, and opportunities--for prosperity, perspective, safety and more--they can and cannot pursue. Inequality and segregation begin with differential *access* to the city. They reflect objectively subjective phenomena with vast and enduring material consequences. In a paper out today in Nature Human Behaviour (https://t.co/8i4ayoKTIP), my amazing colleagues (+ moi) demonstrate how to measure and manage these subtle but profoundly impactful realities with new digital data on mobility across the complex graph of urban places and people. Check it out! Led by the amazing @xu_fengli, with Qi Wang, @estebanmoro, @lin_chen_tweet, @_arianna_sm, @martikagv, @mtizzoni @chaomingsong, Carlo Ratti @senseablecity, @bettencourtluis, and Yong Li.

I am looking for postdoc opportunities starting in 2025. If you know of any positions related to social computing/urban science/urban mobility/LLM agents, I would greatly appreciate your references or recommendations!

Just hit a milestone in my research career: 100 citations! This is a small yet significant step for me.

@feedkoko @daria_kravets @IC2S2 Thanks for all your devotion! I also see my results in OpenReview but have not received the notification email yet. Could you also check my case?

[Lin Chen @lin_chen_tweet]

@DonghyunKang9 Wowww see you then!!

[Lin Chen @lin_chen_tweet]

Excited to share that I've successfully pulled off a double win—got my submission accepted to @IC2S2, and got myself accepted to @SICSS_Penn! Can't wait to engage in both sparkling events!
