I’ve launched 2 new course websites for my Introduction to #ComputerVision and #DeepLearning in Computer Vision courses.
🆕 Gaussian Splatting
🆕 Flow Matching
🆕 Sparse Autoencoders
🆕 Lecture Notes (work in progress)
The videos don’t include voiceovers, but that’s coming in a future revision 🤞
Share your feedback in the thread.

1/6 "3D Vision is dead, long live 3D Vision!"
Excited (again! 🤓) to share new work from our group, led by @jiahan_zhang1: Generative Cinematographer.
Starting from a single image, artists can plan a shot in 3D by authoring camera moves and choreographing the subjects, then see those choices come to life in the generated video.

Codex recreation test: Can you spot the original video? 👀
Plan + reference video + goal → After Effects project + MP4
Rebuilt from scratch with Codex (medium) + After Effects via the Higgsfield MCP plugin.
~1 hour pursuing goal. Still improving, stopping here to save usage.

In progress: My first Codex + After Effects test, driven by the Higgsfield MCP plugin.
Plan + reference video + goal → After Effects project + MP4
23 minutes in and Codex is still grinding away.

None. I was curious about the ability of Codex to control After Effects via MCP. It appears to be quite good. Also, curious about AE workflow for an animation like this.

Since I occasionally give talks and interviews, I've added a page to my blog/personal website where I'll attempt to collect all of them: sander.ai/media/
Recently, I had a great chat with my friend and former colleague @GarneloMarta, CSO at Fundamental (@LTMpredict).
We talked about diffusion models (duh 🤭), music generation, typicality, blogging, @kaggle and more (also restricted Boltzmann machines 🫣)

Indeed this was a challenge we also faced for our Machine Learning / Computer Vision courses at Universität des Saarlandes (Saarland University) in the last year.
Starting this year, we also aim to have in-person vivas and mini-tests during the course of the semester to actually have students explain their thoughts and working process of the materials and assignments.
Talked to a Stanford prof last night who told me that AI has led to students all acing all the homeworks, never showing up to office hours, and then failing the final exams in-person.
So in response the department is changing the TA's purpose, by eliminating office hours and requiring students meet with TAs 1:1 and walking them through each coding assignment to demonstrate they actually understand what's going on in the code.

Apple is going to make it even harder to productively use macOS in the age of agents? Bold move. Let's see how it plays out!
Shots fired?
Apple plans to introduce new privacy controls for Mac users, warning of the growing risks around granting broad data access to third-party software, including AI agents bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We are excited to share our new model ARROW 🏹 !
ARROW brings D4RT-style decoding to broader input types, including multi-view videos and unordered collections of images.
