Next talk at the #MapFreeReloc workshop by Torsten Sattler. What scene representations do we have for relocation these days? #ECCV2024

And we close with a bang. Shubham Tulsiani is our last invited speaker at the #MapFreeReloc workshop. #ECCV2024

Attending European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026 and looking for PhD or postdoc positions in 3D reconstruction or visual localization? Happy to talk to you :)

We have released the code and model weights on github.com/nianticlabs/Ha… #ECCV2024

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Interesting to see multiple pipelines of different sub-fields referred to as "training-free", recently. It is a re-branding of "hand-crafted" but aiming at a positive connotation, while "hand-crafted" received a negative connotation in the 2010s when everyone was moving to DL.

We updated the #ACEZero repository to make it compatible with newer versions of nerfstudio. We added some functions to make it easy to train Gaussian splats on top of ACE0. See our FAQ: "I want Gaussian splats from my images. What do I need to do?" github.com/nianticlabs/ac…

No Nobel for ChatGTP yet. Good choice though. I have probably read more Han Kang than Hinton 😬 At least in terms of word count.

As you write your #CVPR2025 papers, think of captivating first sentences. Example? "Creating noise from data is easy; creating data from noise is generative modeling." (from Song et al., ICLR21, arxiv.org/pdf/2011.13456)

Dear author, thanks for providing a bibtex entry on your project website. How about updating it with whatever venue the work has been accepted at since the original arXiv report?

We wrote a text on how we envision the future of visual mapping: nianticlabs.com/news/largegeos… So far, we have trained ~50 million ACE networks. 😎 Together, that's 150 trillion parameters... Not bad! But the future lies in going from local small models to a global large model.

After all these years, I still enjoy submitting to conferences. Is it polishing text late at night? Arguing with reviewers? Adding another publication to the pile? No. It's because each submission is a testimony, an 8-page certificate, that I learned something new. #CVPR2025

Time to move...
