Obviously this doesn't scale, but I chose to send this junior researcher a (hopefully polite) email with some of my thoughts (written hastily in 30 minutes, not polished). More practicing mathematicians & researchers should advocate for the culture they want, so here's my bit.

I saw someone post a dozen+ AI slop papers purporting to solve niche open problems. This is antisocial behaviour and worse than if the problems stayed open. 0 people understand the solution, and there is no readable writeup. Also, incentive for either is removed.

Rebuttals and discussions need to be reduced an extreme minimal length. CVPR style, 1 single PDF page. No discussion. Else, human ACs and reviewers will have a disadvantage compared to the world of agents out there now.

0/ At the AIMCS (AI for Math and CS) workshop at FLoC 2026, @swarat.bsky.social ran a really fun panel on "How should the Formal Methods community respond to AI progress?" He put a lot of thought into very good questions, so here are my answers to them: ↵

Woah, almost all of EGSR 2026 was recorded, and they posted it all to Youtube. Wow! Big props to the conference organizers for doing this! www.youtube.com/@egsr2026/pl...

We appreciate the love ❤️ But limited engagement and few followers on Bsky makes some (not us!) question whether it's worth it Be sure to follow (and share with your ML friends!) if you want to see more updates from ICML!

Text-to-image models are remarkable at generation, but they end up deciding on their own what goes where. If you need specific subjects in a specific arrangement, you are left writing prompts and sampling until something usable appears. SIGMA-Gen, our new ICLR 2026 paper, tries to change that.

PSA (this sounds like something pretty important that I should know but could have lived the rest of my life in shame without ever learning it)

TIL that - "state of the art" is a noun, so we compare to the state of the art - "state-of-the-art" is an adjective, so we can write about the state-of-the-art model on, say, edge-detection or thresholding or binarization.

🚀 Excited to share REPPO, a new on-policy RL agent! TL;DR: Replace PPO with REPPO for fewer hyperparameter headaches and more robust training. REPPO, led by @cvoelcker.bsky.social, will be presented at ICLR 2026. How does it work? 🧵👇

Great resource! This is specially important for people starting their research careers. Getting to know different research communities is really important! Technical insight is crucial, but science is ultimately a social endeavor -- understanding and communicating to your peers is key.

cseweb.ucsd.edu/~tzli/novelt... I gave an internal talk at UCSD last year regarding "novelty" in computer science research. In it I "debunked" some of the myth people seem to have about what is good research in computer science these days. People seemed to like it, so I thought I should share.

As we in the US gather with our families this weekend, it's a good time to consider the ways that technology brings us together—but also keeps us apart. In this blog post, I tell a story about how technology may have tended to increase social isolation. aaronhertzmann.com/2025/10/26/i...

Technology and Social Isolation: From Cars to “AI”

In this blog post, I tell a story of how some technologies from the past century or so have, overall, led to increased social isolation in the United States, as we replaced in-person social interactio...

Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

Session this afternoon (in 30 minutes)!! Poster 153 — see you there!

Excited to share our #ICCV2025 work Reusing Computation in Text-to-Image Diffusion for Efficient Generation of Image Sets! Our method generates large sets of images using significantly less compute than standard diffusion. 📎https://ddecatur.github.io/hierarchical-diffusion/ 1/

I wrote a notebook for a lecture/exercice on image generation with flow matching. The idea is to use FM to render images composed of simple shapes using their attributes (type, size, color, etc). Not super useful but fun and easy to train! colab.research.google.com/drive/16GJyb... Comments welcome!

For folks attending CVPR: is there a website where I can see the list of workshops, their location AND time? Day and time are empty when I access cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/...

I will be in Nashville until Saturday for CVPR'25 \o/ DM if you want to meet!

🏅Honored to have been awarded at #Eurographics25 for our paper on #LipschitzPruning to speed-up SDF rendering! 👉 The paper's page: wbrbr.org/publications... Congrats to @wbrbr.bsky.social, M. Sanchez, @axelparis.bsky.social, T. Lambert, @tamyboubekeur.bsky.social, M. Paulin and T. Thonat!

After one more CVPR deadline, I feel compelled to share a couple of very useful LaTeX/Overleaf that, surprisingly, and not broadly adopted. It boils down to just two very simple things:

Let's gooo!!! \o/ Probably my first time visiting Brazil for professional reasons :-)

ICLR Conference@iclr-conf.bsky.social · last yr.

That's a wrap for #ICLR2025! See you all next year in Brazil! Please all welcome @bharathhariharan.bsky.social as the new Senior Program Chair! (With @cvondrick.bsky.social continuing on as General Chair.)

By popular demand, we are extending #CVPR2025 coverage to Bluesky. Stay tuned!

Exciting news! MegaSAM code is out🔥 & the updated Shape of Motion results with MegaSAM are really impressive! A year ago I didn't think we could make any progress on these videos: shape-of-motion.github.io/results.html Huge congrats to everyone involved and the community 🎉

I understand the sentiment, but it is important for people to know that is currently does not reflect reviewer guidelines at CVPR: cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/... “(…) you should include specific feedback on ways the authors can improve their papers.”

Dima Damen @ECCV 2026@dimadamen.bsky.social · 2y ago

Lessons from SAC @cvprconference.bsky.social Reviewers &AC role is *not* to teach authors how to do research better. Keep the advice about how the work could be differently done or written to yourself &your group. The reviewers role is *only* to assess the scientific correctness of the paper.

Late to post, but excited to introduce CUT3R! An online 3D reasoning framework for many 3D tasks directly from just RGB. For static or dynamic scenes. Video or image collections, all in one! Project Page: cut3r.github.io Code and Model: github.com/CUT3R/CUT3R

Those plots are so cool! \o/

Jon Barron@jonbarron.bsky.social · 2y ago

I just pushed a new paper to arXiv. I realized that a lot of my previous work on robust losses and nerf-y things was dancing around something simpler: a slight tweak to the classic Box-Cox power transform that makes it much more useful and stable. It's this f(x, λ) here:

#CVPR2025 Is there any way in OpenReview to "mention" a reviewer in a discussion? I think reviewers get the e-mail with whatever message gets posted in the discussion that is sent to them, but they have no idea if Reviewer HjKl is them or someone else...

I will keep repeating this until I convince everyone I work with or I will die trying.

I think this is a great idea!

Kosta Derpanis@csprofkgd.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is where a threat of desk rejection of their paper would help. It would be great if their co-authors got a warning that one of their co-authors is putting their paper at risk of a desk reject. You would quickly see a change in behaviour.
