@TobiasKirschst1 Hey Tobias, thanks for sharing! Is it possible to organize a stream and/or recode it for those who can't attend in the USA?

Join us at the workshop on Photo-realistic 3D Head Avatars at #CVPR2025, featuring invited talks by leading academic researchers and industry professionals at the forefront of avatar technology. Wednesday 11th, starting from 1:20pm workshop website: kaldir.vc.in.tum.de/nersemble_benc…

@Keir_Starmer Dear PM, Please clarify if the new rules will apply to current visa holders. I am a Global Talent visa holder working in AI. A simple path to ILR and citizenship was a key factor for me and many of my colleagues in deciding to immigrate to the UK.

I know you're angry about immigration. I get it. Mark my words: I will take back control of our borders. That means cutting migration, ending the use of asylum hotels, and ramping up our efforts to stop small boat crossings. We will smash the people smuggling gangs at source.

Attending #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 this week in Tokyo! Excited to meet new (and familiar) faces. Feel free to DM me here, connect on LinkedIn, or send a meeting request via the official SIGGRAPHAsia app. Let’s chat! 🎉

@NaeimKhanjani @ilyasutsk @karpathy @ssi @ilyasut Hey :) Which method did you use to animate it?

I am thrilled to announce that my latest paper has been accepted at CVPR 2024: EMOPortraits: Emotion-enhanced Multimodal One-shot Head Avatars 🔗 Project Page: neeek2303.github.io/EMOPortraits/

@SevenFridays @guardian @TheEconomist @TheSun @GOVUK @Telegraph Hi Alena! Thank you a lot for your support🙏🙏

@NikDrob23 @guardian @TheEconomist @TheSun @GOVUK @Telegraph Hi Nikita, I'm very sorry to hear that this is proving to be more challenging than it should be, especially in the current climate. If you want to have a chat at any point about applying for a PhD in the UK, feel free to DM me

👋 Hey there! I'm Nikita Drobyshev, a dedicated Generative AI researcher with a Global Talent UK visa. I've been in London for a year, and today, I'm opening up about my pursuit for knowledge. 📚 Imagine dreaming of a UK PhD, full of ambition and credentials, only to hit a wall of unexplained refusals. Here's my reality: I've spent a year battling for my study permit (UK's "ATAS certificate") for my PhD, facing repeated refusals without any reason. 🚫🧠 Just got my second refusal, and I'm clueless why. Guess what? I'm not alone. Many peers are in the same boat. After 3-12 months of waiting, they get "sorry" letters without an explanation. It's like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. What's really bugging me? The lack of transparency. Imagine driving without clear road signs.🔒 Here's a one more fact: I'm Russian. Not sure if that matters, but Russian pals face permit issues since the war began. If not a coincidence, it's unfair – education should be equal, no matter your origin. ⚪️🔵⚪️ Let's set things straight: I've never been part of any big political stuff in Russia. I'm against the war in Ukraine started by the Kremlin. I left my country last year because of my beliefs 💙💛. 🚀 Let's discuss, demand clearer rules, and ensure education without barriers. Together, we can break these obstacles and prove diverse minds shape a better world. #EducationMatters #breakingbarriers #UnityInDiversity #academia #academy #PhD #atas #Guardian #theguardian #thesun #thetimes #theindependent #ai #aicommunity #uk
