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.
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.

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.

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!
