The multiparty meeting booking problem is at least as hard as autonomous driving, modulo the risk of bodily injury.

4. Who’s sacrificing by making time slots available outside regular work hours/during family time?
5. Did anyone reply to the poll request with a calendly link?

Serge Belongie @serge.belongie.com · 7d

1. Who made & sent the doodle poll?
2. Who didn’t respond to the poll?
3. Did anyone sidestep the poll and reply “my schedule is complicated; we’ll figure something out?”

Ponder these questions next time you find yourself in a meeting scheduling thread (not counting within-org booking or people with PAs):

Serge Belongie @serge.belongie.com · 7d

My conclusion: calendar booking is 1% about technology and 99% about power.

Modern GenAI has nailed the 1% part, but nothing has changed about the rest of it.

Serge Belongie @serge.belongie.com · 7d

I bookmarked this post on Quora ~8 years ago when a small startup called x.ai launched a calendar booking assistant/bot named Amy Ingram. While I only tried their system for a handful of experiments, the lukewarm review below matched my impressions of its capability.

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.

CopeNLU had a blast attending @euripsconf.bsky.social last week -- thanks so much to the organisers (Søren Hauberg, @serge.belongie.com, Bernhard Schölkopf, Aasa Feragen) for putting this together! Non-scientific highlights were clearly the banquet dinner & the specially brewed EurIPA.

How do we do more with biodiversity data we've already collected?

I gave a TED Talk on scientific discovery in ecological databases at a joint TED Countdown and Bezos Earth Fund event for #NYClimateWeek this year, and it's now live!
