Check out Leonie's (@bossemel.bsky.social) upcoming NeurIPS Datasets and Benchmarks paper about a really interesting new dataset for evaluating models of human visual learning.
bossemel.bsky.social Leonie Bossemeyer @bossemel.bsky.social · 15d
From medicine to geo-guessing, humans can get incredibly good at solving visual recognition tasks.
But how is this skill learned, and can we model its progression?
We present CleverBirds, accepted #NeurIPS2025, a large-scale benchmark for visual knowledge tracing.

In a new paper led by Gianluca Monaci, with @weinzaepfelp.bsky.social and myself, we explore the relationship between rel pose estimation and image goal navigation and study different architectures: late fusion, channel cat (w/ or w/o space2depth) and cross-attention.

Say hello to @margretkeuper.bsky.social, Prof at Uni Mannheim 🇩🇪 and ELLIS Fellow at ELLIS Unit Saarbrücken. Her area of research is machine learning for computer vision.

Her advice: When your research goals are much harder than anticipated, take a step back to see the big picture.

My lucky day today to tour with the autonomous UK-based Wayve car!
I was impressed by how smooth to change from manual to full auto - was instantaneous!
The car manoeuvred the narrow lanes of west London calmly, confidently and with skill!
Thanks Ani Kembhavi for the opportunity
