ICCP 2026 is coming to @princeton.edu, July 13-15! Paper submissions are now open, deadline April 10. Accepted papers published in ICCP Proceedings or IEEE PAMI Special Issue.

Take a sneak peek at already confirmed speakers on our website: iccp2026.iccp-conference.org!

How do you mesh this argument with non-rgb imaging? I feel like one of the big splits I’m seeing is that while β€œworld” and video models mature, I can’t exactly just pour spad measurements into my model without first turning them into some kind of intermediate representation

Maybe I'm just missing info, but it feels like ST doesn't do a great job of capturing the value it creates. We have a bunch of luxury apartments going up in Redmond, with a lot of the value created by the light rail station, but I don't see this money going back to ST?

This Wednesday (1-6PM, Room 106A) at CVPR @cvprconference.bsky.social we have a great lineup of keynote speakers, posters, and spotlights on neural fields and beyond: neural-bcc.github.io

Have a question you want answered by a panel of experts in the field? Send it to us via: tinyurl.com/bdddf36f

and then there’s the fun question of who is on the hook for paying for repairs

In terms of downtown wayfinding I feel like a couple of these badbois pointing towards pike's place/closest light rail station/other attractions would do 99.9% of the work of a digital display

Free wifi throughout downtown is a great idea, but in NYC a lot of these kiosks quickly turned into
(a) at best a nice graffiti art installation
(b) at worst yet another thing that made the sidewalk narrower and harder to roll a cart/stoller through

I'm having a lot of trouble locally running llama-2, any suggestions?

They keep spitting and hissing at me whenever I try to chat with them, and using GPUs (grass processing units) isn't speeding up inference.

I’m truly lost on how we got to the stage of β€œactually, investing in American science is bad” so fast

honestly the most I’ve ever been impressed by an LLM was when chatgpt found a meme I saw a couple years ago based on my my absolutely deranged vague description of what animals / visual elements were in it

Going through airport security, the TSA asked me to β€œopen my burrito” to demonstrate it was in fact a burrito.

For academia (particularly graphics/CV folks) it’s also a hard tradeoff. Why spend time figuring out data capture and low-level camera stuff when generative AI is right there.

You’d be surprised how small the publishing circle of computational photography is. The best/most interesting methods get implemented into products, but if something is too productizable it’s hard to find time/willingness to publish it.

Curious about how cities have changed in the past decade? We use MLLMs to analyse 40 million Street View images to answer this. Do you know that "'juice shops' became a thing in NYC" and "miles of overpasses were painted BLUE in SF"? More atβ†’boyangdeng.com/visual-chronicles (vid ↓ w/ πŸ”Š)

Getting absolutely no reviewer feedback on a fellowship app feels very unproductive (NSF MSPRF).

With conference rejections I can at least encorporate reviewer feedback for the next submission, but with this NSF app it's like "was my outline bad? did the reviewers hate my font choices?" who knows.

We've extended the submission deadline by 2 weeks to April 25th! #CVPR2025 @cvprconference.bsky.social
