European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026@eccv.bsky.social · last wk.

Thank you to all our #ECCV2026 reviewers. Special thanks to the Outstanding Reviewers for their exceptional contributions! 👏 eccv.ecva.net/Conferences/...

How can AI better understand 3D driving scenes? 🚗 In this ELLIOT Research Spotlight 🔬, we highlight LOSC from @valeoai.bsky.social: a method for open-vocabulary LiDAR segmentation that helps assign meaning to 3D point clouds, beyond fixed object categories. Paper + code in comments 👇

New state of the art in one-step image generation 🏆 One forward pass. The method is so simple it's almost unsettling: no teacher, no discriminator, no denoising trajectory 🧵

valeo.ai is heading to #ICML2026 and #ACL2026 with two papers: - diverse LLM decoding with LoRA-MCL, - counterfactual explanations for driving LLMs with DRIV-EX 🧵👇

The #WorldEngine tech report is now up! It's our post-training framework to deal w/ scarcity of long-tail safety-critical scenarios. Post-training strategies for autonomous driving are rarely tackled and discussed in the open. We hope that this will open more this area. arxiv.org/abs/2606.19836

🌍WorldEngine is one of the most exciting projects in AD in the past years! It's a post-training framework tackling the scarcity of long-tail safety-critical scenarios by: mining -> 3DGS reconstruction and dynamic agents control w/ behavior world models -> RL post-training. Blog, code and data are up

🌍 WorldEngine: Towards the Era of Post-Training for Physical AI 🎯 A post-training framework for Physical AI that systematically addresses the long-tail safety-critical data scarcity problem in autonomous driving. Github: github.com/OpenDriveLab... Project Page: opendrivelab.com/WorldEngine/

Our visiting PhD student @bliberatori.bsky.social gave us a great talk on Video understanding beyond trimmed clips: temporal and comparative reasoning. Make sure to have a look at her excellent works in this area: benedettaliberatori.github.io

1/n New paper - V-GIFT 🎁 Self-supervised tasks like rotation prediction or colorization were big in 2018. Do they still matter? Yes. We turn them into visual instruction tuning data for MLLMs. Result: models rely more on the image and perform better on vision tasks 👀

👋 Farewell to EXA4MIND | David Hurych from @valeoai.bsky.social and the industrial application case leader of EXA4MIND. As EXA4MIND draws to a close, we have brought together consortium members to discuss the project's impact over the last three years. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV-Y...

Congrats to our team member Marc Lafon for being awarded the 2026 AFRIF PhD prize! 🎉 afrif.irisa.fr?page_id=54

Congrats Dr. @vletzelter.bsky.social for his work defended in front of a stellar jury and answering to so many questions that @rflamary.bsky.social decided a break at some point ^^ Fun fact: Victor had not 4, not 6, but *8* advisors over the span of his thesis and he handled them brilliantly

valeo.ai@valeoai.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Congrats to our @vletzelter.bsky.social for earning his PhD for his work on "Multiple Choice Learning from Ambiguous Signals". Victor is a resourceful, curious and kind researcher. Good luck for next! Fruit of an excellent collaboration between @telecomparis.bsky.social & @valeoai.bsky.social

🚨 Happening NOW! 🎓 Our PhD student Victor Letzelter @vletzelter.bsky.social is currently defending his thesis at Telecom Paris! Good luck, Victor! 👏🚀 #PhDDefense #TelecomParis

I'm totally biased on this but I think it's wonderful that we now have official NeurIPS parallel satellite events. Parallelization was the trick that allowed us to scale to large data and models. It makes sense to try it for conferences as the community grows.

NeurIPS Conference@neuripsconf.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Following the success of the EurIPS and NeurIPS-Mexico City pilots in 2025, we are thrilled to announce two official NeurIPS 2026 satellite events for this year! These will be held in Paris, France and Atlanta, USA, respectively, running alongside the main venue in Sydney, Australia.
