The results of most good CS Ph.D. programs are out. When a new Ph.D. student joins the group, the department will buy you a computer. But only after years, you will finally realize, they buy the computer a Ph.D. student.

I've heard unsettling rumors involving a young AP manipulating his visiting researcher, which tragically led to her suicide. While I can't confirm these allegations without evidence, it's crucial to remember becoming a professor hinges on research prowess, not personal traits.

I am always wondering why OpenAI consistently produces superior results compared to others. Could it be attributed to better data, skilled engineers, or perhaps some undisclosed fundamental techniques?

Come to see @SudeepDasari and I present our work at @ICCVconference tomorrow (Paris Sud at 1:30 PM) Spoiler: We show how vision representations can be used to *control* robots - not just represent states! With some luck, this will make robotics more data efficient in the future🤖

Data is very expensive in robotics. What if robots could learn skills from passive, video data instead? We develop a simple distance learning method to transfer visual priors to robotics tasks. This improves policy learning by 20% over baselines! 1/

My key takeaways from the #ICCV2023 Future of Computer Vision Workshop: 1. Prominent researchers seem to agree: Data + High-capacity models suffice for effective vision systems, and industry is the ideal arena for implementation. (Consider: Can industry outperform your domain?)

Researchers often dedicate significant effort to devising intricate methods, which give marginal improvements. Instead, this study focuses on the most overlooked part of the pipeline -- the training data!

A gentle reminder to aspiring researchers: gauge a professor's true character by observing how they handle conflicts and upsets, even with their 'toughest' students. Research excellence is about more than just knowledge – it's also about empathy and mentorship.
