Today we're announcing the release of "Kaputt", a breakthrough real world dataset for visual defect detection, 40x larger than SoTA. Spoiler: Even advanced AI models perform barely above random chance. Check out our blog post and paper #cv #iccv @ICCVConference @AmazonScience

🚀 Get ready to build anomaly detection models that actually work in production! And win a share of $25,500 USD total prize pool! VAND 4.0 @CVPR 2026. Participate in the Kaputt2 Challenge! sites.google.com/view/vand4-cvp…

Introducing NotebookLM for arXiv papers 🚀 Transform dense AI research into an engaging conversation With context across thousands of related papers, it captures motivations, draws connections to SOTA, and explains key insights like a professor who's read the entire field

Mobile ALOHA's hardware is very capable. We brought it home yesterday and tried more tasks! It can: - do laundry👔👖 - self-charge⚡️ - use a vacuum - water plants🌳 - load and unload a dishwasher - use a coffee machine☕️ - obtain drinks from the fridge and open a beer🍺 - open doors🚪 - play with pets🐱 - throw away trash - turn on/off a lamp💡 Project website: mobile-aloha.github.io Co-lead @tonyzzhao, advised by @chelseabfinn (amazing photographing from @qingqing_zhao_ )

Introducing Robo360 dataset 🚀, the first real-world omnispective multi-view and multi-material robotic manipulation dataset. Robo360 captures synchronized multi-modal robot-object interaction data (video, audio, proprioception, control) to facilitate research in dynamic novel-view synthesis, robot learning, physics understanding, world models, and more! Code and data coming soon!

We're hiring! My science team at Amazon Fulfillment Technologies and Robotics in Berlin is hiring excellent scientists to work on visual defect detection models that see millions of images every day, delighting millions of customers. Apply! @AmazonScience amazon.jobs/en/jobs/252089…

Finally got to see one of those Parisian bed bugs everyone's been so afraid of. Looks pretty cute to me! Thanks @huggingface for showcasing them #ICCV2023 Photo credit: @Faty_404

@salimazak @maththrills @rodneyabrooks @hiskov @pabbeel @GeorgiaChal @TobiasRobotics @ian__manchester @navindak I get what you mean & yes the statement itself is provocative. But he did explain it. Did he intend it to be provocative? Probably. Did he mean robotics is doing a bad job? No. Did he mean to spark a discussion what CV can do for robotics and what robotics can learn from CV? Yes!

@hoeferse @maththrills @rodneyabrooks @hiskov @pabbeel @GeorgiaChal @TobiasRobotics @ian__manchester @navindak I'm implying this: The statement you made is a very comprehensive and nice statement. However, Jitendra's sentence (if he said it exactly as written above) does not coincide with what you wrote, it goes to a different place. Anyway…

@salimazak @maththrills @rodneyabrooks @hiskov @pabbeel @GeorgiaChal @TobiasRobotics @ian__manchester @navindak Not sure what you're implying. TBH I feel this is sensationalism not research discussion. IMO it was obvious Jitendra wasn't declaring war on roboticists but spicing up his presentation to make people think. Also a good fit for the context: "Quo vadis computer vision?" workshop

@hoeferse @maththrills @rodneyabrooks @hiskov @pabbeel @GeorgiaChal @TobiasRobotics @ian__manchester @navindak This is a very good explanation. However, if the above sentence is expressed exactly as it is written (and I also wrote that he said a different version in ICCV2021), it does not match yours.

Do people miss gathertown? 🤭 #ICCV2023

Huge thanks and congrats to my coauthors @lvminzhang @magrawala #ControlNet for winning the Marr Prize /best paper award @ICCVConference #ICCV2023 Join us this afternoon at Oral 1:30 PM “Paris Sud” and Poster 2:30~4:30 PM “Foyer Sud 156”

Overwhelmingly inspiring experience at #ICCV2023 so far! I'm still available for coffee chats throughout the week, dont hesitate to drop me a PM. You can also catch me at the @AmazonScience booth starting 18:30 tonight!

What an inspiring day 1 at #ICCV2023! Alyosha Efros' talk at the Quo Vadis workshop was both entertaining and insightful. I'm open to coffee chats all week if you want to talk e.g. about data-centric AI, anomaly detection and science internships and opportunities at Amazon!

@luke_ch_song Sorry, fixed!

@hoeferse Hello! I am attending ICCV and would love to chat! Your dm is restricted to those with verified profile so couldn’t send one.

Bonjour Paris! I'll be attending ICCV the whole week, please drop me a PM if you'd like to have a chat! #iccv20

I'm still wearing them at dinner parties, from time to time
