On my way to Nashville for hashtag. #CVPR25; almost ready to dance! We will present "TANGO: Training-free Embodied AI Agents for Open-world Tasks" at the main conference (June 15) and at the Embodied AI Workshop (June 12). If you are in Nashville and want to catch up, DM me here or via email!

Our paper submission deadline for the EVAL-FoMo workshop @cvprconference.bsky.social has been extended to March 19th! sites.google.com/view/eval-fo... We welcome submissions (incl. published papers) on the analysis of emerging capabilities / limits in visual foundation models. #CVPR2025

Just a reminder that (very) often this is our outcome... and that this short discussion with Nobel prize Ben Faringa is, to me, one of the best I have ever heard about "failures and perseverance": youtu.be/vpPfb6CscyI?...

#KostasThoughts: When communicating with conference organizers, start by assuming good intentions and always keep it respectful. Remember, these are real people, volunteering their time and making personal sacrifices to bring everything together.

I am thrilled to share that TANGO (Training-free Embodied AI Agents for Open-world Tasks) finally made it to #CVPR2025! Super proud of my students F. Ziliotto and T. Campari who made an awesome work. It took two rounds of review, some trouble, and many improvements, but this made the work stronger!

A good review spells out a paper's contributions & strengths/shortcomings targeted for someone who doesn't work on the problem & has not read the paper! A good review also gives actionable feedback to improve the work regardless of the accept/reject decision. Happy reviewing!

Happy to give a talk very soon in Florence, in a very familiar place ("my alma mater") with some familiar faces, about our recent works in the embodied computer vision field!

#ICLR decisions are out! We have a paper on social navigation (this is an early version arxiv.org/abs/2404.11327). Great collaboration with @galasso.bsky.social and his awesome students from Sapienza Univ of Rome

Still have two missing reviews (that hopefully will be done by heroic emergency reviewers)... I am still against "collective punishment" that would impact other co-authors. But I agree that ghosts are the worst; maybe we could consider individual ban preventing submissions to the next conferences.

Shoutout to all our #CVPR2025 emergency reviewers who stepped up when others couldn’t or wouldn’t! 🫡

Brilliant talk by Ilya, but he's wrong on one point. We are NOT running out of data. We are running out of human-written text. We have more videos than we know what to do with. We just haven't solved pre-training in vision. Just go out and sense the world. Data is easy.

Congratulations to our fresh CS graduates! They both did a great job at the intersection between vision and language.

It is hard to fully grasp the versatility of linear operations: - Rotation / projection / skewing - Dimension reduction - Discrete differentiation - Kernel diffusion - Matching - Readout - Fourier transform - Weighted average / expectation - Permutation - Counting - Intersection

#KostasThoughts: Core math in many #ComputerScience programs is inadequate for studying #ComputerVision & #MachineLearning. Want to study these subjects? Take (single/multi-variable) calculus, linear algebra, statistics & probability. Your future self will thank you 😉

Cool... I feel a bit relieved not being the only one :) (even though, honestly, I should add a third mode: "never")

ICLR should not allow public discussion until after decisions. It allows Oscars-style award/accept campaigns by high-profile allies. Even for great papers, that can’t be part of the review process. The only reason it didn’t happen before is because it was against community norms, which are changing.

This is really hilarious :) (I had to search for the paper because I couldn't believe it)
