🚀 New paper: ConeGS Error-Guided Densification Using Pixel Cones. We improve 3D Gaussian Splatting by placing Gaussians where they matter most: ConeGS adds primitives along pixel-view cones guided by image error, boosting quality with fewer Gaussians. baranowskibrt.github.io/conegs/

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

🚗 Pseudo-simulation combines the efficiency of open-loop and robustness of closed-loop evaluation. It uses real data + 3D Gaussian Splatting synthetic views to assess error recovery, achieving strong correlation with closed-loop simulations while requiring 6x less compute. arxiv.org/abs/2506.04218

Can you train a model for pose estimation directly on casual videos without supervision?

Turns out you can!

In our #CVPR2025 paper AnyCam, we directly train on YouTube videos and achieve SOTA results by using an uncertainty-based flow loss and monocular priors!

New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines

Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence.
