🚀 Introducing UniRelight, a general-purpose relighting framework powered by video diffusion models. 🌟UniRelight jointly models the distribution of scene intrinsics and illumination, enabling high-quality relighting and intrinsic decomposition from a single image or video.

Bolt3D is accepted to #ICCV2025 🥳 see you in Hawaii!

Come work with us! The Machine Learning Research (MLR) team at Apple is seeking a passionate AI researcher to work on Efficient ML algorithms: jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

📸 Join us at ICCV 2025 for our workshop on Computer Vision with Single-Photon Cameras (CVSPC)! 🗓️  Sunday, Oct 19, AM – PM at the Hawai'i Convention Center. 🔗 Website: cvspc.cs.pdx.edu. 🗣️ Invited Speakers: Mohit Gupta, Matthew O'Toole, Dongyu Du, David Lindell,

I recently received the Ontario Early Researcher Award — thank you to the Province of Ontario for your support!

Something fun we discovered: you can use #Genie3 to step into and explore your favorite paintings. Here's a short visit to Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks".

🚨 Code Release for CAP4D🧢 Excited to share that we have released the inference code and weights for CAP4D! Visit github.com/felixtaubner/c… to generate an avatar and view it just like this one (yup that's me)

Checkout this episode of the Executive Code Podcast for a dive into our work on modeling light propagation!

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo. In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨ With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

Can’t believe it’s been 3 whole years since i joined Luma AI 🥰 Still feels like we are just getting started on our mission of solving computer vision and multimodality! The next year is going to be HUGE 😍 (please ignore my profile pic on slack)

Come hang out at our #ICCV2025 workshop on video models and their downstream applications—like novel view synthesis and more! 🌴🍹

check out Sherwin Bahmani's new work, the results are stunning!!!

super excited that we won the best student paper for videomimic! unfortunately i was packing in the hotel during the awards ceremony 😅

🚀 Excited to release the full inference code of 🧢CAP4D🧢! Generate animatable 4D avatars from any image(s) + driving video. 🤩Also works on stylized photos! 👉 Code: github.com/felixtaubner/c… 🏠 Project page: felixtaubner.github.io/cap4d/

How do we reconstruct a 3D scene from photos with varying exposures? Standard methods often fail, leaving you with blown-out colors or disturbing shadows. We're excited to introduce Neural Exposure Fields (NExF), our new work accepted at #NeurIPS2025! 🧵

VLAs have become the fastest-growing subfield in robot learning. So where are we now? After reviewing ICLR 2026 submissions and conversations at CoRL, I wrote an overview of the current state of VLA research with some personal takes: is.gd/1pqw9w

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 🏆𝐌𝐕𝐏𝟒𝐃🏆 (𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓) MVP4D turns a single reference image into animatable 360-degree avatars! Project: felixtaubner.github.io/mvp4d/ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2510.12785 🔔Code releases Nov 15th

Everyone says they want general-purpose robots. We actually mean it — and we’ll make it weird, creative, and fun along the way 😎 Recruiting PhD students to work on Computer Vision and Robotics UMD Department of Computer Science for Fall 2026 in the beautiful city of Washington DC!

📢 Bolt3D will be presented #ICCV2025 ! Catch us at the poster sessions: Main conference: Thu 23rd Oct 14.45-16.45 Invited workshops: FOUND workshop: Sun 19th Oct 11.30-12.30 AI3DCC workshop: Mon 20th Oct 10.10-11.00

I'll be joining the faculty Johns Hopkins University late next year as a tenure-track assistant professor in JHU Computer Science Looking for PhD students to join me tackling fun problems in robot manipulation, learning from human data, understanding+predicting physical interactions, and beyond!
