When we get to Yudkowsky in the AI unit of my tech ethics class, this illustration is definitely going in my slides...

Just migrated the entire CVF open access infrastructure to a brand new backend setup. Hoping nothing breaks 😬. Let me know otherwise...

Can your AI learn novelty? I'm presenting at @ijcai.org an incremental online learning benchmark where novel classes are introduced in each increment with prior known classes. Come talk with me at #IJCAI2025 about predictor detection & adaptation to novel phenomena! 😁

Inspired by @louisaconwill.bsky.social's work, I wrote a short piece on subsidiarity as a guiding principle for open source AI in the latest issue of the Red Hat Research Quarterly.

Yes --- we are exploring this.

Walter Scheirer @wjscheirer.bsky.social · Aug 13

Well, it depends... sometimes convention centers in less prestigious locations *are* more expensive (these places require us to buy a lot of pricey food as part of the contract to book the space). But we are casting a wider net for future meetings...

Walter Scheirer @wjscheirer.bsky.social · Aug 10

This is in fact the situation, globally. (This isn't a US-specific problem.)

Walter Scheirer @wjscheirer.bsky.social · Aug 10

To clarify “attractive location”: it also involves getting a convention center that meets our needs (e.g., is large enough, configurable enough).

There's also a note from me on why you should consider booking a room in one of the conference hotels for WACV, CVPR and ICCV.

Nice closing note for my #CVPR2024 lead GC journey: the conference just won the IEEE iCON award for outstanding achievement in conference innovation at IEEE Convene 2025. We had an exceptionally excellent organizing committee last year, and this award is a testament to that!

Walter Scheirer @wjscheirer.bsky.social · Jul 26

Nobody has exclusive rights to the IEEE/CVF co-sponsored conference names. This is why there is a fake ICCV using the same name --- anyone can freely use these names because they were never registered in any legal capacity...

There are no plans to add a fee like this to IEEE/CVF co-sponsored conferences.
