For folks submitting to the SIGGRAPH'23 Technical Papers Program. Since we are getting questions about the figures only pages: the figures on these pages can have captions (please keep those short) and can be referenced form inside the paper.

Hot take: we need a non-neural track for the remaining few papers of this category at conferences ;). Let's also give them a badge. Here is my humble proposal.

SIGGRAPH just came out with grants for early career folks attending this years conference: siggraph.org/news/acm-siggr…. The deadline is very tight, so do spread the word to all eligible folks and apply yourself if eligible..

A few things I ask my students to do when writing reviews: 1. Remove all adverbs 2. Try removing all adjectives 3. You are not the judge -- you are either the prosecutor or the lawyer. 4. Be evidence-based. 5. Be kind -- there's someone's <1y of life behind it.

This is a paper I am an author on (ICCV not SA). The reviewer comments that our entire research idea is “not good” as it can’t deal with common geometric models. I thought that we showed 100+ of these so I may need to relearn geometry..

Question to the graphics community: does anyone know or has a pointer to any analysis of gender distribution among graphics researchers or graduate students? Anecdotally I know that the numbers are heavily skewed, but no idea how skewed…

I usually keep my Twitter strictly professional. But this is not a usual time. The thread bellow is pretty close to how I feel and is well articulated.

And following up on the post below. We now have the ad out for our AI search cs.ubc.ca/our-department…. Do consider applying and forwarding to anyone on the job market. There are two more ads coming (ubc approval processes takes time…).

I try to not make my feed political. But… The linked letter accurately reflects how I feel about the massacre on 10/7 and the aftermath; it is signed by Berkeley faculty I respect. docs.google.com/document/d/1L2… Maybe the rest of us could follow?
