For the folks heading to the bird walk, rain is clearing! We will wait a few minutes at our starting point for any stragglers who were avoiding the downpour earlier 😅
Are you coming to @iccv.bsky.social??
Do you like BIRDS?!?! The #CVBirdWalk is happening!!!
Oct. 21, 7am, Ala Moana Park. Kick off your conference right!!

CODA is a smart way to pick the best AI model. It uses the models' own feedback to find the most important data to check, reducing the annotation work by 70%. Brilliant and efficient!

This new work by @justin-kay.bsky.social provides ML users with an efficient mechanism to wade through the sea of available open-source models and identify which model will work best for their needs!

There are now millions of publicly-available AI models – which one is right for you?
We introduce CODA ( #ICCV2025 Highlight! ), a method for *active model selection.* CODA selects the best model for your data with any labeling budget – often as few as 25 labeled examples. 1/

This is going to be fun! I'll be talking about our recent work on dataset subselection for specialization instead of generalization - how do we build optimal models for specific end users given a big pool of generalist data?
Our schedule is live!
curateddata.github.io/schedule.html
We have posters, oral presentations, and invited talks from @zhuangl.bsky.social, @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social, @andrewowens.bsky.social, @phillipisola.bsky.social, and Alyosha Efros!
See you in Hawaii!

What EyeRIS revealed was incredible, fine-scale detail of the 3D movements of octopus arms as they crawled over the seafloor completely unconstrained. We learned that octopus crawl by creating a modified foot that persists throughout the behavior, a simplification that could aid roboticists. 8/n

So… I have an idea! For those of us attending ICCV 2025 in Hawaii, I thought it would be very exciting and fun to collect an exotic dataset of tropical plants and animal species.
I’m staying for vacations after the conference, and would like to combine it with the data collection. Who is joining?
