Any plans for having a 2nd iteration of the CVPR@Paris meeting 🤔? Given that last year's event was great and very much appreciated it does call for another one 😉 @davidpicard.eurosky.social ?

🔥🔥🔥 CV Folks, I have some news! We're organizing a 1-day meeting in center Paris on June 6th before CVPR called CVPR@Paris (similar as NeurIPS@Paris) 🥐🍾🥖🍷 Registration is open (it's free) with priority given to authors of accepted papers: cvprinparis.github.io/CVPR2025InPa... Big 🧵👇 with details!

🚀New preprint: DAVE — Distribution-aware Attribution via ViT Gradient DEcomposition. 1/11 🔍 What’s new: We fix a persistent issue in ViT explainability: unstable, artifact-heavy pixel attributions. DAVE yields fine-grained pixel-level maps without patch-grid saliency.

ICCV 2025 🌺 Aloha from Hawaii! MPI-INF (D2) is presenting 4 papers this year (one Highlight). Thread 👇

Heading to #ICCV2025? Don’t miss #CV4DC — Oct 19, Honolulu 🌺 An in-person workshop spotlighting research for/with developing regions. See exciting keynote talks from leading researches! See accepted papers & posters here: cv4dc.github.io/2025/ #AI4Good

🌟Here are some resources and notes about doing research that I’ve been compiling since I started my PhD.🌟 I rely on these often, and after sharing them with a few folks in my group who found them useful, I thought it could be of use to the broader community 🧵👇 (1/n)

Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 June-July 2025 One of the prettiest and liveliest cities I’ve traveled to ✨ 🚤

🚨More tiny experiments that seem benign: linear probing on frozen features (but again not explicitly making BatchNorm params to .eval) can have big implications. Best test accuracy: 71.20% at Epoch 10, for Learning Rate = 0.01 Makes a hell of a lot of difference! Almost 10% 🚨

Seemingly innocuous error that I see students making time and again: model.eval() or param.eval() for models with norm layers (like batch-norm) is critical. Especially when freezing ❄️ certain layers and training rest.

🎉 Exciting News #CVPR2025! We’re proud to announce that we have 5 papers accepted to the main conference and 7 papers accepted at various CVPR workshops this year! We’re looking forward to sharing our research with the community in Nashville! Stay tuned for more details! ‪‪@mpi-inf.mpg.de‬

Had my older MTB catching dust in the bike room, took 2 hours to replace both tyres and tubes with brand new ones, new brakes, and chain cleaned + greased. 💥 Pretty relaxing and a nice rejuvinating break from research✨ P.S.: Once you are used to driving road bikes, MTBs seem too slow 🤪

Wow 🤯

So I have now read the Big Three Ayn Rand Books, atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and anthem. And I have this to say: she’s bad at writing books, so bad, in fact, that I find her popularity genuinely strange

Had a great time presenting our work at ICLR 2025 in Singapore 🇸🇬. Lot of great interactions, meeting amazing people and a very well organised conference 🌟. It was great to catch up with old colleagues and meet new folks. For more detail see: arxiv.org/abs/2503.00641

🚀 I will be @iclr_conf in Singapore next week presenting our recent work. We answer how exactly does "What you explain depend on how you train". 🤓 We will be @ Hall 3 + Hall 2B #492 (26th April, 3PM - 5:30 PM) Please reach out via dm if interestd in a chat or ☕️ #ICLR2025

Congratulations to Max Losch for successfully defending his PhD! 🥳🎉🎓 In his thesis, "Improving Trustworthiness of Deep Learning via Inspectable and Robust Representations", he explores transparency and robustness of deep networks. We wish him the best!

So far, 2,135 people have responded to the poll Søren and I posted a few days ago. Of those, 94.4% replied “Yes” to being interested in officially presenting accepted @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers in Europe. (1/7)

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

With systems like PaperBench -the reproducibility tracks at conferences will now also have AI participants 😃😉 Infact, (soonish) the reviewing process could be supported with pipelines that can authenticate claims and results made in papers. 🤓 openai.com/index/paperb...

Just listened to the second episode of Marloes ten Kate's "How to present science" podcast. Very interesting insights, how to deliver the key message in the beginning to increase engagement as well as into the ABT model.
