He totally does, he is getting more snuggly every day ☺️

Morning walks 🐾

It also really does feel like reviewer psychology since they have not explicitly pointed it out as the issue - not being able to run the experiment again with different framing but same reviewers is tough :D

When you re-read the introduction of your freshly rejected paper that was somewhat rushed before the deadline and you are like: Ok, this is why. 🥲

Team 2/2 rejected, with one suggested for the findings workshop.

I am a bit sad because I feel they were rejected for the wrong reasons + I am tired of getting BR rating with no suggestions for rebuttal, but I am much more into ECCV than CVPR this year anyway. 😁

Good luck with resubmission! 🍀

I feel like for the first time in my (short) reviewing career, I may have helped a (IMO of course) nice paper get accepted despite other reviewer(s).

1/n Attention, Please! 🚀

Our work “Revisiting Attentive Probing Through the Lens of Efficiency” has been accepted at #ICLR2026.

We introduce Efficient Probing (EP) — a lightweight, multi-query attentive probing method for frozen encoders.

Paper + code at the end 👇

I was starting to wonder what do I do with my time now

Oh ok, that is a different level of wrong than I thought 🥲

I think most benchmarks are pretty noisy; it is just that for some (say ImageNet :)), enough people actually looked at the images and noticed.
To be fair, data annotation is HARD. I do agree people should at least try to do a better job and be responsive, of course :)

What a beautiful day to be done with all deadlines! ☃️

This was my WFH lunch break today, if it is not clear why I do not live in Prague 😁

25 % left, a few more nice bedtime readings for me. :)

JAZZ HANDS!

I am currently at
R: Be very ready.
G: I am very ready. Be calm.
R: Am calm. You be calm.
G: NO YOU BE-

Having stopped about midway through Project Hail Mary and forbidding myself to resume until I finish my CVPR reviews was a pretty good motivation.

Also, if you have not read it yet, but you think you might enjoy it, go for it, you are in for a treat (and the movie is coming)! 🤓

I should have added it looks like this (a few lucky days a year 🤣), like today ☃️☺️

True, not many positions come with free canistherapy 🐶 (let’s ignore that he’s a teenager now). I hope my profile pic makes up for the regrettable omission and is self-explanatory!

Imagine this: Prague 🏰, a top CV lab, learning all the things we work on at VRG, regular cake at coffee breaks (hope you are not on a diet, but we also have a free gym on site) 🍰, excellent filter coffee ☕, and - last but not least - working with Giorgos.

There’s a postdoc opening. Don’t miss out 🙂

Recently, Illia received an award for the research he has been doing with us.

Most people would think about sth to buy for themselves. He donated it all to support his home. 🇺🇦

#DoNotForget

I have been getting pretty good and diverse assignments (my work is a bit "all over the place") before, max 1 paper on X per conf :) But now it is 3 papers on my msc topic X and before, I got my bsc stuff for WACV.
It accumulated and I had to vent a bit but it is not enough to make me grumpy (yet) 😁

I am fine reviewing a paper on it here and there, just not the whole batch like this cvpr 🥹 But I have not though of this, might use it next time, thanks!

The curse of doing research as an undergrad: publish one paper on topic X, then spend your entire PhD reviewing papers on X. There’s a reason I changed topics. 🫠

At least one paper in my batch actually looks very interesting though :)

⏰📍: Tomorrow, 11 am, Hadfield Hall - come say hi to Nikita presenting!

Are you at BMVC tomorrow and interested in VLMs?
Come see our poster "Image Recognition with Vision and
Language Embeddings of VLMs". 👁️📕

TLDR: We benchmark VLMs on language- and vision-based classification, and propose a simple, training-free vision-language fusion.

Btw On the Road is the worst book I have tried to read in a long time. Giving up

Do I need to say anything?

Thanks, I got it years ago during my erasmus stay to cover the ugly furniture in my room and make it look cozy :) 😅

It is becoming a post-rebuttal tradition to spend the whole weekend reading.

And people worry no body will ever read their thesis 😅

What an opportunity to come visit us in Prague! ❤️ 👀

Nash is almost 5 months and I got used to disappointed faces whenever I show up in the office alone - he mostly comes once a week so I am essentially one big walking disappointment 😂 Maybe I should put his pic on my CV when I start looking for internships 🤔
