With AI models trained in colossal datasets, does the traditional concept of “generalization” (performing well on *unseen* data) still hold? My latest blog outlines this critical question. Join the discussion! #AI #MachineLearning #Generalization www.niebles.net/blog/2025/ga...

#CVPR2025 AC thought for reviewers: When writing your “justification of rating,” clearly highlight the key points from the reviews, discussions, and rebuttal that led to your final recommendation. This helps area chairs understand your decision-making and provides valuable feedback to authors. 1/2
