It's a beautiful morning to look at birds!! #ICCV2023

Vésteinn and Idan, ready for a break after a long poster session #ICCV2023

Today we are announcing a major breakthrough in the Vesuvius Challenge: we have read the first word from an unopened Herculaneum scroll. The word is "πορφυρας" which means "purple dye" or "cloths of purple." scrollprize.org/firstletters Congratulations to 21yo computer science

Our office at Pioneer Centre for AI in the old observatorium at the Botanical gardens never fails to amaze: today the doors to the telescope room were opened. By the looks of it, both the telescope and the rotating dome’s mechanisms seem to be functional 🤩

How much does an LM depend on information provided in-context vs its prior knowledge? Check out how Vésteinn Snæbjarnarson, Niklas Stoehr, Jennifer White, Aaron Schein, @ryandcotterell + I answer this by measuring a *context's persuasiveness* and an *entity's susceptibility*🧵

Online citizen science platforms like iNaturalist and Macaulay Library contain a wealth of images but are hard to search using text. We are looking for ideas so we can develop the next generation of AI models that can help users to better search these image collections.

This was a great collaboration! Check it out if you are training models in memory constrained settings 🚀

At University of Copenhagen, we are organizing a summer PhD course on SSL4EO. Registration is now open via: ankitkariryaa.github.io/ssl4eo/ (seats are limited). We are looking forward to hear from: Randall Balestriero, Marc Rußwurm, Konstantin Klemmer, @brunosan, @JanDirkWegner1, Xiaoxiang ZHU

Excited to share PuTT, accepted to #ICML2024 🎉. PuTT efficiently learns high-quality visual representations with tensor trains, achieving SOTA performance in various 2D/3D compression tasks. Great collab with D. Wang, C. Leth-Espensen, Serge Belongie, Michael Kastoryano, Sagie Benaim
