Sometimes I wish I could adopt a Daniel Day-Lewis style to publishing. Write a good paper, retreat for several years to recover, repeat.

I lovehate deadline crunch time.

As an author, I had my fair share of reviewers explaining to us how our ideas were practically irrelevant. Even for papers that addressed a concrete business need. Some people really have a very narrow view coupled with over-confidence. It's ok to speak from your experience but keep it modest.

We created a new channel with daily new vision and graphics papers trending (liked/read) on www.scholar-inbox.com. This is the bsky equivalent of AK on X! Follow now, and never miss a beat again: bsky.app/profile/si-c...

🚨 Future open positions in AI at my home institution* targeted towards young researchers. These are tenure track positions with a good starting package, aimed at guiding you towards an ERC StG within 4 years. Feel free to contact me in DM. *ENPC, part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris

For PhD and MSc students interested in a research visit to Prague/VRG in 2025: we're open to hosting short-term collaborations or internships on a range of computer vision topics. If this sounds exciting, reach out by e-mail! We'd love to discuss potential projects. Some examples 🧵 #Internship #CV

Went through my #CVPR2025 batch again, and my reviewers did such a stellar job. Plenty of "exceeding expectations", not a single "below expectations", certainly no irresponsible reviewers. Informative reviews and active discussions everywhere. 😘 My hardest job as an AC is to parse all that info.

Looking for a distribution family for positively skewed data, unlimited support on the real line and closed form solutions for fitting their parameters. #SundayMorningPonderings

As I am looking towards AC meetings in the middle of the night and finalizing paper decisions at least partially during my vacation, I am not as sad anymore to not have been invited to serve as AC for ICCV 😉

First time I see convincing results of scene coordinate regression for large-scale scenes. Nice!

In OpenReview, can I e-mail specific reviewers to urge them to join the discussion? It was possible in CMT... I guess I could add a comment, only visible to that specific reviewer. But if they answer that comment, their answer would only be visible to me, I guess? #CVPR2025

Looks like some authors are mistaking the "confidential comments to AC" field as an opportunity for a second rebuttal. Any criticism of review content belongs in the rebuttal for all to see, and nowhere else. #CVPR2025

While you are finishing CVPR rebuttal - consider submitting papers to Image Matching Workshop 2025 @cvprconference.bsky.social #CVPR2025 Deadline: March 11, 2025. cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IMW2025

TPAMI keeps sending me review request of revisions, claiming I was an initial reviewer. But it's not true. Dark pattern to persuade me to agree? 🤔
