There is a lot of work done recently on composed image retrieval, but we felt that none of the existing benchmarks reflect the real-world challenges and applications. So, we created a new test benchmark for instance-level composed image retrieval.
🎉 Instance-level Composed Image Retrieval @ #NeurIPS2025

🎨 Task: given (image of an object instance) + (text modification), retrieve photos of that exact instance under the change.

This is the real-world harm of computer vision: false accusations of gun possession over a bag of crisps. Deploying this in public is reckless.

Today at #ICCV2025 (afternoon poster session): see how sensitive some foundational models are to non-semantic cues like JPEG compression and camera model. Such cues can heavily distort their semantic predictions.

Join our Instance-level Recognition and Generation workshop at #ICCV2025 with keynote and oral/poster presentations on image object recognition and generation at its finest granularity; each unique object of the physical world forms its own class.
🌺 Just 4 days to go!
Join us in Honolulu for the Instance-Level Recognition and Generation Workshop at #ICCV2025 🏝
🗓️ Oct 19, 8:30am–12:30pm 📍 Room 306 A

We’ll have amazing keynotes, plus oral and poster sessions featuring accepted and invited papers.

The colloquium at CTU in Prague had 6 great talks and a lot of discussions before, during and after the event. The slides are now shared online. It was the 50th and our administrators surprised us with a huge Czech cake - Koláč. See you in April again!

Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉

At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

Crash test your foundational models for object recognition at its finest granularity. Here are the updated results on our instance-level image retrieval benchmark (ILIAS-CVPR'25). DINOv3 and Perception Encoder (PE) are included, with DINOv3 being the new SoA! Oh, but no, look at this...
🚀 new state-of-the-art on ILIAS dataset!

Curious how well the latest models can recognize particular objects?
We evaluated the base and large variants of DINOv3 and Perception Encoder (PE) on instance-level image retrieval.

Hi friends! I made a computer vision feed that was missing on Bluesky.

You can find it here: bsky.app/profile/did:.... Pin it to your profile if you like it. 😉

It filters relevant posts based on regular expressions. But to make sure that your post is included in the feed, add the #skyvision tag.

The hidden flaws in your favorite foundation model: We've uncovered how subtle image metadata (JPEG params, camera type, etc.) systematically biases visual representations and consequently affect the object recognition ability. To be presented at #ICCV2025 as a highlight paper.
Have you ever asked yourself how much your favorite vision model knows about image capture parameters (e.g., the amount of JPEG compression, the camera model, etc.)? Furthermore, could these parameters influence its semantic recognition abilities?
