Our grad-level "Deep Learning" course (MIT's 6.7960) is now freely available online through OpenCourseWare: ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-79...

Lecture videos, psets, and readings are all provided.

Had a lot of fun teaching this with @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social and @jeremybernste.in!

Neue Studie von #UniKonstanz The Politics of Inequality + Universität Luzern: Ansässige ausländische Arbeitskräfte genießen höhere Akzeptanz unter einheimischer Bevölkerung als GrenzgängerInnen – trotz ähnlicher Konkurrenz auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Details: https://t1p.de/q8len

Schon der Geruch von Luchsen kann helfen, #Wälder zu regenerieren: #Rehe fressen weniger junge Bäume, wenn sie Raubtierduft wahrnehmen. Das zeigt eine neue Studie unter Leitung von Forschenden der #UniversitätFreiburg. ➡️ ufr.link/luchsgeruch @wild-ecol-cons.bsky.social #MarcoHeurich

Accepted paper at ICLR 2026

QuaMo: Quaternion Motions for Vision-based 3D Human Kinematics Capture
The paper is now publicly available at: arxiv.org/pdf/2601.19580 The implementation can be found here: github.com/cuongle1206/...

On Tuesday 3rd February 2026, we will be hosting Silvia Zuffi at 3pm (UK Time) as part of the Cambridge Ellis Seminar Series. Please join us in Lecture Theatre 6, Dept of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Alternatively, you can join us on Zoom.

Better artificial intelligence does not mean better models of biology Deep neural networks (DNNs) once showed increasing alignment with primate perception as they improved on vision benchmarks, raising hopes that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) would naturally ...

Published @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social with @drewlinsley.bsky.social & @tonyfeng.bsky.social: As vision models scale to human/superhuman accuracy, they’re becoming worse models of primate vision—benchmark engineering isn’t neuroscience. @carneyinstitute.bsky.social @browncopsy.bsky.social

Yeah and the new one seems not to be "old # + 30k".

It also seems that submission # have changed.

A translucent siphonophore drifts up to the left, with bubble-like orbs near the top of its body and dangling orange tentacles on the lower half.

Siphonophores are champions of community collaboration. 🤝🏆
This isn't one animal. It's actually a colony of individual animals called zooids. Each has a specialized role. From the orb-like swimming nectophores to the bright orange stinging tentacles, they're essential to the survival of all.

💯

Congrats 🎉

Pixel reconstruction has recently been somewhat overshadowed by latent SSL approaches such as DINO.

However, for 3D tasks we show that a scaled and simplified version of multi-view MAE (which we call MuM) can outperform DINOv3, all while using orders of magnitude less compute!
