Bad reviews AND bad weather here... we have an unfair part of the deal...

More than bad reviews, I am mostly frustrated by the unkind messages reviewers give... If you don't agree with how we did something, that's your right, but stating it's unreasonable or ridiculous is not within your right!

Because in other countries, particularly in the US, PhD students are not paid to be students over the summer and need to take jobs/internships. Only in Europe do we pay staff and students salaries for all 12 months.
Apologies if that's incorrect but this is what I was told.

Trained visibility head shows impressive performance in identifying camera motion and tracking dynamic objects jointly...
We match Co-Tracker3 on RoboTAP and outperform it on EgoPoints and RGB-S only through correspondences

Code and Models are out

Through balancing static and dynamic correspondences, the model can maintain MASt3R's power in tracking static parts of the scene but also track dynamic points successfully.

We use *no* temporal knowledge (no windows) - only pairwise matching!

As part of the visit, Francois examined PhD candidate, Kevin Flanagan.
Congrats to Dr Kevin and first advisor Michael Wray on a career achievement. Coincidently, Kevin also received the Outstanding Reviewer Award @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeuriPS2025 on the day of his viva!
