Heading to the Holodeck.

First it looked like NeRF's would be the way. Then Gaussian Splats.

Now Convex Splatting is coming on the scene to build 3D experiences with better quality.

Things in the AI industry change so fast.

If you review for a #ML conference like @iclr-conf.bsky.social or @neuripsconf.bsky.social, YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLY TO THE AUTHORS.

If the rebuttal doesn't address your concerns explain why. But giving a score of 2-3 then ghosting the authors is super rude.

I say this as an AC.
