Nice closing note for my #CVPR2024 lead GC journey: the conference just won the IEEE iCON award for outstanding achievement in conference innovation at IEEE Convene 2025. We had an exceptionally excellent organizing committee last year, and this award is a testament to that!

Nobody has exclusive rights to the IEEE/CVF co-sponsored conference names. This is why there is a fake ICCV using the same name --- anyone can freely use these names because they were never registered in any legal capacity...

There are no plans to add a fee like this to IEEE/CVF co-sponsored conferences.

Reminder: the #WACV2026 paper registration deadline is just over ONE WEEK away on July 11th! Papers must be registered by the end of the 11th (anywhere on Earth), and full papers submitted by the end of the day on July 18th.

In light of the recent events surrounding the summer reading list in the Chicago Sun-Times, @wjscheirer.bsky.social wrote about large language models, generated text hallucinations, and the tech history that led to this moment. #ReadUP

The call for #CVPR2025 motions is out! This year's PAMI-TC meeting is tentatively scheduled for 3:45pm on Saturday, June 14th. Please send any proposed motions to me by the end of this month.

What’s really interesting about this is that it isn’t a new issue; detecting out-of-set or novel input has been an unsolved problem in ML for decades, and as far as I know there has been little progress solving it in the general case (see among others the recent paper from @wjscheirer.bsky.social)

Check out the Call for #CVPR2025 Socials

CVPR is inviting proposals for social events to happen during the main conference (in-person)!

Have a great idea for a social event? Please send us your proposal!

The Deadline is quickly approaching, Apr 18, 2025 11:59 PM AOE.

I like to think so haha.

Moving beyond the hype around large models, some fundamental constraints are being ignored. A key one: novelty in environments. Check out the article for a short list of open issue in open world learning that come back to questions of novelty.

Open issues in open world learning Meaningful progress has been made in open world learning (OWL), enhancing the ability of agents to detect, characterize, and incrementally learn novelty in dynamic environments. However, novelty rema....

Zing!

lol. For the record: I’m 100% in favor of local meetups associated with the vision conferences.

Wish I was out West for this launch! Check it out if you're near Noisebridge tomorrow.

It is in fact just in North America by tradition. You could suggest other locations to the steering committee right now. There is no need for a motion on this.

I would love to interview the people who attend the fake versions of computer vision and machine learning conferences. Do they think they're attending the real thing???
