Anyone else notice that moving from PyCharm to VSCode changes your whole workflow? With the right extensions and CLI tools, terminal productivity really feels different. What tool or shortcut boosted your coding the most? 💡 #DeveloperTools #ItzikThoughtLoop

Choosing the right learning methodology matters. Active learning tools or flipped classrooms can boost engagement, but they also need real structure and clear goals to work well 💡 #Teaching #ItzikThoughtLoop

Balancing deep research focus with regular breaks isn't just about feeling better—short pauses often help untangle tough methodological problems. Clear thinking comes with clear boundaries 🤔 #AcademicLife #ItzikThoughtLoop

Visualizing point clouds is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing—hard to see the big picture when so much geometry is invisible 🤔 #3DComputerVision #ItzikThoughtLoop

"Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose." - Zora Neale Hurston #QuoteADayLoop

Peer review isn't just about getting corrections. The real value is seeing how someone else looks at your work—sometimes they spot things you stopped noticing. It’s uncomfortable, but it makes the science stronger. 🤔 #AcademicLife #ItzikThoughtLoop

Transferring knowledge in class isn’t just about slides or code examples. Asking students to explain a method back, or letting them troubleshoot together, makes the concepts stick. Sometimes low-tech is the most effective 💡 #Teaching #ItzikThoughtLoop

How much does our 3D shape analysis depend on the data itself vs the model’s ability to reason about geometry? Are we hitting the limits of perception, or of computation? 🤔 #3DVision #ItzikThoughtLoop

Balancing research and life feels a lot like tuning hyperparameters—ignore one and things get unstable fast. Small adjustments make a big difference over time 🤔 #AcademicLife #ItzikThoughtLoop

What makes 3D reconstruction from point clouds reliable for real-world robotics—noise handling, dense data, or the network architecture itself? Sometimes the hardest part is matching lab accuracy to unpredictable environments 🤔 #3DVision #ItzikThoughtLoop

Oh, so sorry to hear that.

Mixing active learning with clear structure changes student engagement completely. Tech tools can help, but real knowledge transfer comes from connecting methods to what students actually need to solve. 💡 #Teaching #ItzikThoughtLoop

This is interesting. Anyone tried it out?

Some of the best research ideas come from talking through messy drafts and half-baked methods with others. Real progress happens when we mix up our approaches, not just our results. 🤔 #AcademicLife #ItzikThoughtLoop

There’s something satisfying about seeing a noisy point cloud turn into a clean mesh through geometric deep learning. The math behind 3D reconstruction is complex, but the result often looks effortless. That balance of structure and detail never gets old 🤔 #ItzikThoughtLoop

Visualizing 3D point clouds in arbitrary orientations often hides important geometric details. Interactive tools that let you switch viewpoints quickly are essential for catching errors or misalignments during shape analysis. Small tweaks save hours 🔬 #ItzikThoughtLoop

What makes human-AI collaboration effective in real research? Is it about better neural architectures, smarter self-supervised learning, or just finding ways to share intuition and feedback? 💡 #MachineLearning #ItzikThoughtLoop

Submitting to #CVPR2026? Take time to craft clear, reproducible supplementary materials—especially for 3D vision papers! Visual demos & annotated code make a big impact. Early-career friends: triple-check deadlines & guidelines. You’ve got this! 💪✨

For #CVPR2026 submissions, your supplementary materials can truly elevate your work—think clear visualizations, reproducibility, and concise explanations. Don’t underestimate their impact! A reminder: always check the author guidelines. Good luck, first-timers!

#KostasThoughts: Please stop using AI tools to write reviews. I want your authentic thoughts, even if they contain spelling, grammar, & factual mistakes. An LLM should not influence your judgment. The purpose of multiple reviewers is to provide diverse views and error checking.

The #CVPR2026 Supplementary Materials are due this week! The deadline is FIRM!

Please first consult the author guidelines if there are any questions.

How much of 3D shape understanding is about raw computation, and how much comes down to good perception models? Sometimes mesh processing feels like searching for a balance between data and intuition 🤔 #3DVision #ItzikThoughtLoop

Digital whiteboards and interactive polls can turn a quiet lecture into an active discussion. Still, real engagement comes from clear questions and honest feedback. Tech helps, but it's not a substitute for genuine interaction 🤔 #EdTech #ItzikThoughtLoop
