Ethically sourced image data set encourages fairness in AI research AI systems rely on data that often lack diversity, perpetuate biases and violate intellectual-property rights. An ethical human-image data set addresses these problems.

My News & Views piece on computer vision data set fairness just hit @nature.com. Shortcomings have always been present in our data sets, with some recent work by Sony attempting to address them for model evaluation. We still have a ways to go though for training...

When we get to Yudkowsky in the AI unit of my tech ethics class, this illustration is definitely going in my slides...

Come be my colleague! The Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering at @notredame.bsky.social is hiring a tenure-track professor in computer vision! (And robotics and quantum.)

A modified Uncle Sam pointing at viewer with a question mark in place for a head asking "Can your AI learn novelty?"

Can your AI learn novelty? I'm presenting at @ijcai.org an incremental online learning benchmark where novel classes are introduced in each increment with prior known classes. Come talk with me at #IJCAI2025 about predictor detection & adaptation to novel phenomena! 😁

Graphic for the Summer 2025 issue of the Red Hat Research Quarterly

Inspired by @louisaconwill.bsky.social's work, I wrote a short piece on subsidiarity as a guiding principle for open source AI in the latest issue of the Red Hat Research Quarterly.

Yes --- we are exploring this.

Well, it depends... sometimes convention centers in less prestigious locations *are* more expensive (these places require us to buy a lot of pricey food as part of the contract to book the space). But we are casting a wider net for future meetings...

This is in fact the situation, globally. (This isn't a US-specific problem.)

To clarify “attractive location”: it also involves getting a convention center that meets our needs (e.g., is large enough, configurable enough).

There's also a note from me on why you should consider booking a room in one of the conference hotels for WACV, CVPR and ICCV.

The August issue of the PAMI-TC newsletter is out: tinyurl.com/pjbkszw2

There are a number of items in this issue, including the call for TC awards for #ICCV2025, as well as some community posts from IAPR, ACL, and others.

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...
