New paper: Back into Plato’s Cave Are vision and language models converging to the same representation of reality? The Platonic Representation Hypothesis says yes. BUT we find the evidence for this is more fragile than it looks. Project page: akoepke.github.io/cave_umwelten/ 1/9

𝗠𝗖𝗠𝗟 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: Images and text are usually aligned using millions of image–caption pairs. But could they still be matched if they were never seen together? In “It’s a (Blind) Match!”, MCML Members explore this question. mcml.ai/news/2026-01...

🦖 We present “Feed-Forward SceneDINO for Unsupervised Semantic Scene Completion”. #ICCV2025 🌍: visinf.github.io/scenedino/ 📃: arxiv.org/abs/2507.06230 🤗: huggingface.co/spaces/jev-a... @jev-aleks.bsky.social @fwimbauer.bsky.social @olvrhhn.bsky.social @stefanroth.bsky.social @dcremers.bsky.social

The code for our #CVPR2025 paper, PRaDA: Projective Radial Distortion Averaging, is now out! Turns out distortion calibration from multiview 2D correspondences can be fully decoupled from 3D reconstruction, greatly simplifying the problem arxiv.org/abs/2504.16499 github.com/DaniilSinits...

Can we match vision and language representations without any supervision or paired data? Surprisingly, yes!  Our #CVPR2025 paper with @neekans.bsky.social and @dcremers.bsky.social shows that the pairwise distances in both modalities are often enough to find correspondences. ⬇️ 1/4

Can you train a model for pose estimation directly on casual videos without supervision? Turns out you can! In our #CVPR2025 paper AnyCam, we directly train on YouTube videos and achieve SOTA results by using an uncertainty-based flow loss and monocular priors! ⬇️

Check out our latest recent #CVPR2025 paper AnyCam, a fast method for pose estimation in casual videos! 1️⃣ Can be directly trained on casual videos without the need for 3D annotation. 2️⃣ Based around a feed-forward transformer and light-weight refinement.

We are thrilled to have 12 papers accepted to #CVPR2025. Thanks to all our students and collaborators for this great achievement! For more details check out cvg.cit.tum.de

Indeed - everyone had a blast - thank you all for the great talks, discussions and Ski/snowboarding!

This week we had our winter retreat jointly with Daniel Cremer's group in Montafon, Austria. 46 talks, 100 Km of slopes and night sledding with some occasionally lost and found. It has been fun!
