It was a privilege to work with my good friend @pcascanteb.bsky.social on this year's @cvprconference.bsky.social Doctoral Consortium. What a remarkable group of graduating students (not all of whom are photographed here) -- you can see the list of recipients at docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We introduce a super simple yet effective strategy to improve video-language alignment (+18%): add hallucination correction in your training objective👌 Excited to share our accepted paper at ACL: Can Hallucination Correction Improve Video-language Alignment? Link: arxiv.org/abs/2502.15079
NLI Improves Compositionality in Vision-Language Models is accepted to #ICLR2025! CECE enables interpretability and achieves significant improvements in hard compositional benchmarks without fine-tuning (e.g., Winoground, EqBen) and alignment (e.g., DrawBench, EditBench). + info: cece-vlm.github.io
- Some happiness among chaos: all CVPR reviews are in! 🎉 - Some bitterness among joy: looking forward to the **highly irresponsible reviewers** desk rejections. Very happy with most reviewers tho (responsive and eager to fix short/uninformative comments) Now, back to reviewing PhD applications 🥲

Job alert! 🚨 (a bit special but anyway) If you are (or know someone who is) a Phd about to graduate or just graduated, and have to skip some in between time, I currently have a PostDoc position that could run for 6 months. Needed: Experience with publishing at Top A conferences. Just ping me. 👍
This is my first time serving as an AC for a big conference. Just read this great work by Goyal et al. arxiv.org/abs/2411.11437 I'm optimizing for high coverage and low redundancy—assigning reviewers based on relevant topics or affinity scores alone feels off. Seniority and diversity matter!

For me, practicing some new drum-hand techniques during short breaks significantly improves my reading and writing concentration span. I'm currently trying to learn the traditional grip push/pull technique. Any tips or tricks are more than welcome! :)
