I doubt existence.
Submitting a paper is just a snapshot of ongoing work. The final stretch often uncovers overlooked details, and true clarity usually comes after the deadline—making post-deadline improvements even more efficient. But before that, don’t forget to enjoy a well-earned rest! 😄

Hi, 🇸🇬! At #ICLR2025, I’ll be presenting our work 🎲DICE!
With DICE, one can explore hand-face interactions 📷 — this feedforward method simultaneously estimates hand and face poses, contact points, and deformations from a single image.

Libraries and museums are integral to scientific advancement and to our core mission of #scienceforall. Stand Up for Science stands with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social!

Please call your representatives and let them know you STRONGLY oppose this attack on access to knowledge.

#standupforscience
President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

#CVPR2025 Area Chairs (ACs) identified a number of highly irresponsible reviewers, those who either abandoned the review process entirely or submitted egregiously low-quality reviews, including some generated by large language models (LLMs).

DICE 🎲was accepted by #ICLR2025.
With DICE, one can learn more about hand-face interactions 👤👋. This end-to-end method also enables better scalability to learn and model hand-face interaction. Congrats to our amazing intern Peter QingXuan Wu!

You don't want edges on shadows in your beautiful #Blender #SIGGRAPH paper figures. An easy way to get rid of them is to go to the compositing tab, check the box 'Use Nodes' and add a 'Map Range' node on the alpha channel. Then set 'From Min' to a low value👌

I think a lot of technical people (me included) always felt this was the case, that ML image generation approaches, untethered from some interpretable, controllable model of the world (like a game engine) would never work. It's cool to see that Jensen agrees.

Nvidia CEO: PC games will never be entirely rendered by AI
A day after launching the GeForce 50-series family of GPUs, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang was asked about whether AI would take over the entire 3D rendering process.

Spotted this in the wild. I know it kinda doesn't make sense, but CVPR 2025 submissions can't be publicly stated as such on arxiv or on your personal website. If you wrote "in submission to CVPR 2025" somewhere on the open internet, you should delete it ASAP.

As my kids are singing APT non-stop these days, I did a bit of reverse engineering of the APT music video and tried to understand why the MV is so addictive.

Here is what I learned.
