We have a new blog post on how we optimized end-to-end training of navigation in simulation with physical models, allowing fast and precise motion. The post is simplified, animated, and should be very accessible. Great work by the Spatial AI team, writing by Steeven, myself and the NLE Coms team.

The good news is that my Parisian colleagues will not be in mental state able to submit any jobs to our GPU cluster in the next couple of days...

We had a family dinner yesterday (fish and frog restaurant at at the Saone river bank), including my lovely nieces on visit from Austria ... and we found out that we all seem to have the same taste in shoes πŸ˜…

πŸ”Š Only a few days left to apply to the #PAISS2025 summer school !! This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and to network, especially for students πŸŽ“

I am very late to this, but I find the work of Chris Olah + team on LLM explainability absolutely breathtaking. The amount of work is absolutely phenomenal. The attribution graphs are interactive and you can see features and links to training instances. transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribu...

We have an open internship position on socially aware navigation, human aware world models etc. At @naverlabseurope.bsky.social in Grenoble (Meylan), France. careers.werecruit.io/en/naver-lab...

Lots of recent movies have insane long continuous shots over extremely complex scenes and I love it. "Sinners" is the latest example, I have seen it 2 days ago. An excellent movie! Others: - Babylon (2022), the "party scene" - 1917 (2019), obviously - Adolescence (2025 TV series), obviously

Are you based in the U.S. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ or Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ and thinking of doing research in Europe?

When you implement a physics simulator and you don't get causality totally right... (from www.reddit.com/r/shittyaske...)

A conference officially adds LLM generated reviews to "peer" (sigh)-review. What could possibly go wrong, apart from lazy or incompetent reviewers being convinced by LLM output, and authors spending their rebuttal time on answering hallucinations which are probably not read by these same reviewers?

Added 2 conference deadlines: 3DV 2026: 3dvconf.github.io/2026/ August 18, 2025 (PT) Vancouver, Canada AAAI 2026: aaai.org/conference/a... Abs: July 25, 2025 (AoE) Paper: August 1, 2025 (AoE) Singapore

I don't know what's the best part of a post-submission deadline phase: the joy about the finished paper and work, the weekend off work, or the anticipation of finally being able to start the new stuff you have dreamed about doing.

I wonder how many of these NeurIPS registrations finally got submitted ... In any case, it will be rough for reviewers, ACs, PCs etc.

Anywhere on Earth (AoE) deadlines are actually quite nice for Europeans. The NeurIPS deadline is Friday noon. Pre-finished the paper yesterday evening, slept well, spending the morning polishing the paper. Easy-peasy, or as we say in French, "Finger in the nose!".

Ok, I am NOT a fan of the NeurIPS paper checklist. We are bit treated as toddlers here. πŸ™„

I am considering writing a dark rock ballade about cheating rogue scientists who overfit their ML results by removing training runs with non-optimal hyper parameters, and as performers I thought of Nick Cave and the bad seeds.

My wife tells me her students hide LLM usage in their reports (University software checks it automatically) by not directly pasting ChatGPT answers into them. They first paste into Word, then create a screenshot, paste the image into the report.

Overleaf is down 😬 Any correlation with a surge due to an upcoming deadline is probably unfounded.
