Machine learning is an *international community*. Every community is based on mutual trust and respect. But communities are not robust to betrayals of these principles.

Finished my #CVPR2026 preliminary Area Chair paper recommendations. Today and tomorrow are my triplet meetings to tackle papers that lack reviewer consensus. It’s decision time.

… and for those thinking, “but many do it,” that still doesn’t make it right.
Repeat after me: Achieving the state of the art is not a contribution, it’s the consequence of one. Evaluating your method is also not a contribution, it’s simply validating your claims.

#KostasThoughts: Stay organized and keep intermediate, raw project results. You never know when you, or your supervisor 😉, will need them later for a talk.

Interesting video showing the gamers' viewpoint on recent video generative models: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsae...
I think this is not going to age well. Here is a prediction I feel confident about: in 10 years, most big title video game will rely on generative world models.

#KostasThoughts: I don’t reuse other people’s slides, even my students’. It takes more time, but making my own slides helps me internalize the material and express it in my own visual way.
