How does AI interact with culture?

We’re thrilled to have Dr. Maria Antoniak (@mariaa.bsky.social) join us at FGVC! Her interdisciplinary work on AI in the humanities brings a new perspective to our workshop: the fine-grained categorization of the intangible parts of culture. See you at #CVPR2026!

Second, we propose a test-time training (TTT) approach as an alternative way of making use of multiple modalities at test time. We show that multimodal pretext tasks can serve as a test-time adaptation signal.

First, we introduce MMEarth-Bench, a benchmark dataset built to work collectively on the major challenges in remote sensing: Learning from limited reference data, robustness to geographic domain shifts, and resolving ambiguities when estimating biophysical quantities from observational data.

We have two open PhD positions at the interface of AI and ecology. Start dates are Sept 2026.

We are looking for candidates with a background in AI/CS, Math, Stats, or Physics that are passionate about solving challenging problems in these domains.Β 

Application deadline is in two weeks.

Hence, our method is not prone to hallucinations, as is often the case with generative approaches. We tested SuperF on both ground-level image bursts and satellite imagery. Ultimately, Sander built a demo app to super-resolve Sentinel-2 satellite images for any place on Earth - try it out. [4/n]

In this way, SuperF leverages the continuous nature of INRs for both the sub-pixel alignment and signal reconstruction.
Our test-time optimization approach operates solely on low-resolution images and does not require any training on high-resolution data. [3/n]

Building on the established idea of utilising sub-pixel shifts from repeated observations, we developed SuperF, an approach based on implicit neural representations (INRs) that jointly aligns multiple low-resolution images while representing the underlying high-resolution signal. [2/n]

What if we could see between the pixels? We’ve been working on a new approach to super-resolve images by combining multiple low-resolution views of the same scene.
