Will AI be a "bicycle for the mind" boosting our creativity, or could it overshadow our own abilities? 🤔 📝 My latest blog explores this fascinating question! Read more here: www.niebles.net/blog/2025/cr... #AI #creativity #artificialintelligence

With AI models trained in colossal datasets, does the traditional concept of “generalization” (performing well on *unseen* data) still hold? My latest blog outlines this critical question. Join the discussion! #AI #MachineLearning #Generalization www.niebles.net/blog/2025/ga...

Always love Juan Carlos's blogs! 😍 His latest dives into how our #CVPR2025 work, ViUniT, catches sneaky bugs in visual programs using synthetic visual unit tests. Fewer lucky mistakes, better and more reliable results, and even small open models beating GPT-4o-mini. Super cool stuff 👇

#CVPR2025 AC thought for reviewers: When writing your “justification of rating,” clearly highlight the key points from the reviews, discussions, and rebuttal that led to your final recommendation. This helps area chairs understand your decision-making and provides valuable feedback to authors. 1/2
