Very roughly: MSG = Pose-Landmark Graph + Representation Learning - SLAM🎯 MSG unifies places & objects for scene understanding, combining spatial reasoning with semantic richness—no metric priors needed. A leap toward spatial intelligence! 📍🧠📸 Kudos to Zhang Juexiao & team!

#NeurIPS2024🌟 Humans naturally retain memories of permanent elements, while ephemeral moments often slip through the cracks of memory. We endow the robot with a similar memory mechanism to only remember the environment while forgetting objects, without any human supervision.

I'm so surprised and offended to see the professor mention "Chinese students are dishonest" during one of the invited talk. This is against the code of conduct of #NeurIPS2024 . The Chair Committee should look into this and we want to make sure this won't happen again.

I am not at #neurips but just heard about this incident and feel very upset about it. This specific calling out of the country of origin is offensive, inappropriate and completely unnecessary. This also breaks the code of conduct and @neurips should take her talk off the website.

Franklin Goodman Cheng Lu NeurIPS Conference Fei-Fei Li Jiahui Yu Ed H. Chi I didn't see the talk, but the images I've seen of the slide seem quite offensive. Such generalizations should have no place in NeurIPS or anywhere else.

Whether or not your school teaches ethics, it’s your parents’ job to teach you respect first 😎 And yes, this sentence was polished by ChatGPT 🤣

It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was

The comment was inappropriate and has unnecessary details. And among the hundreds of cartoon faces created with GenAI in the slides, I had a hard time spotting any East Asian faces.

I was at the invited talk. As a Korean researcher, I know that such ethnic stereotyping could target any Asian academic community. One of the questioners confronted the inappropriate generalization, and Prof. Picard's response was inconvenient: "Maybe there is one, maybe they are

“I did it to make my presentations look humorous. Nobody at MIT taught us DEI or respect.” - Excuse given by MIT Media Lab researcher who has received many recognitions. NOTE: Most MIT Media Lab researchers I know are highly respectful and morally upright.

Unbelievable. This quote is blatantly false and unnecessary for the argument. And she surely had expected the backlash with the patronizing NOTE. This is racism, not "cultural generalization". NeurIPS Conference

The slide is bad, her response to an audience is even worse… “Maybe there is one, maybe they are common, who knows what. I hope it was an outlier."

How is Rosalind going to face the hundreds of talented, hardworking, and genuine Chinese students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) when she got back? They (and many of us) went through so much trouble to get to the US due to the pure drive to do good science, and yet you put this in your slide. This is

Very sad to see this. Just reminds me some random dude in the bay drove by and shouted to me “go back to your own country”. Racism real. Very sad to see the language in NeurIPS announcement and the actions of different organizations after are more like trying to tune this whole

A post on indirect cost is making a lot of rounds Of all the people who think this is a rip-off, let us play a simple game: Could you perform the same research with the same amount of money (in direct cost) starting out in your garage? Think through on all pieces that are
