Tune in @ ICCV on Mon @ 10.30am where I talk about everything 3D + Realism:

- Hyperscape: Gaussian Splatting in VR

- FlowR: Flowing from Sparse-2-Dense 3D Recon

- BulletGen: Improving 4D Recon with Bullet-Time Gen

- MapAnything: Universal Feed-Forward Metric 3D Recon

Together with Nikhil and the team, we have made something truly extraordinary.

Think VGGT, but way more powerful and WAY more versatile and useful.

This is a major step-up for 3D vision, and is going to be one of the major building blocks for the foreseeable future.

Our keynote speaker Fernando De La Torre (@FerranDeLaTorre) highlights that “70% of the time in machine learning research is devoted to data” #DLBCN2023

@ducha_aiki @amy_tabb I like the term, I think it fits pretty well with what is happening, the model is making a prediction mostly based on bias or based on weak cues.

Very clear chart: grams of CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity produced for various countries.
Probably the only problem for which "going nuclear" was the right thing to do.

@david_picard @CVPR I apologize for the tone. I see this as an opportunity to reflect on our review system. Instead I have seen some outrage at the authors in twitter! I worry about actual plagiarism that might also be seeping in. Removing the paper from the proceedings is step 0.

I'll be at CVPR next week. Do get in touch if you want to meet!

Ready for #CVPR2022 in #NewOrleans? About a week away!

I see some people being condescending on Twitter about how people join {well-know tech company with bad reputation of the month}.

My take is that joining Meta / Uber / Apple etc for many:

1. Means a massive step-up in career options vs what they have
2. Means a life-changing $$

If you got into design because you wanted to use it make the world better, here's your chance, because everyone relies on Our World in Data, right up to national governments. This is the dashboard that drives change.

New @GoogleAI work:

Input: "Two meerkats sitting next to each other on top of a mountain and looking at the beautiful landscape. There is a mountain, a river lake, and fields of yellow flowers. There are hot air balloons in the sky."

Get a sneak peek of what mixed reality experiences will be like on Project Cambria, our next VR headset. Mixed reality will blend the physical world with the virtual — think fishing 🎣 under your living room floor or playing chess♟️with your friend’s avatar at your coffee table.

Check out AutoRF: Learning 3D Object Radiance Fields from Single View Observations #CVPR2022 by @Normanisation.

Key idea: we learn shape & appearance priors from single-view training samples by exploiting machine-annotated labels!

@CVPR Website seems finicky with card processing. Got errors about card processing and was charged several times

@CSProfKGD @SattlerTorsten @paugargallo Yes! Good catch. :)

1. As Germany reactivates its coal-burning power stations in response to the double whammy of Putin’s threat to gas supplies and the closure of its last nuclear reactors, please remember that the harms falsely attributed to nuclear can be correctly attributed to coal. Thread/

[Computer Vision for AR/VR @CV4ARVR]

Over a month left to submit to the 6th #CV4ARVR workshop at @CVPR! If you're working on computer vision topics that apply to AR/VR, come join other academic leaders and industry innovators at #CVPR2022. Short extended abstracts due by 4/9. Read more: https://t.co/SGy9OXdjkx
