I am excited to announce that our work on "Mirror-Aware Neural Humans" 🤩 received the best paper award at the weakly supervised computer vision workshop at @deepindaba and a poster prize 🏆 at the main event. #DLI2023 #Indaba2023 (#awards" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wscv-indaba.github.io/2023#awards) Thread 🧵 1/n

Say hello to Gemini 3.1 Flash Live. 🗣️ Our latest audio model delivers more natural conversations with improved function calling – making it more useful and informed. Here’s what’s new 🧵

We’re looking to attract the world’s brightest and best students! Canada is home to world-class institutions and offers clear pathways for international students to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees. Top reasons to get your graduate degree in Canada • Simpler processing for most graduate degree students • Faster timeline - 2 weeks for doctoral student applications • Family members can apply to come with you • Work in Canada after you graduate Learn more: bit.ly/4k2hsBx

🌍 Get Involved in AFRICHI 2027! AFRICHI 2027 will take place in Lagos, Nigeria in April 2027, & we are inviting members of the community to join the Organizing Committee. Interested in contributing to the conference? Apply here: forms.gle/PU5QLoo6x6cscG… #AFRICHI #AFRICHI2027

@HarjiiBoss @sarahookr @sudip_r0y Long time Taofeek! But am only a learner too☺️

@danielajisafe @sarahookr @sudip_r0y You've always known how to spot the real ones, long time Daniel.

I am inspired by @sarahookr and @sudip_r0y’s vision to shift the culture of AI in a meaningful way! Sara has demonstrated both leadership and mentorship in the field with impactful track record and doing this again with adaption, only leaves a hint of great things to come!

We trained diffusion models on a billion LLM activations, and we want you to use them! New preprint: Learning a Generative Meta-Model of LLM Activations Joint work with @feng_jiahai, @trevordarrell, @AlecRad, @JacobSteinhardt. More in thread 🧵

@taiyasaki Where I come from, we call it “flash” calls 😀 and you need to do it so neatly to avoid being charged.

Back in ~2000, when you were thinking of someone you’d give them a phone call and immediately hang up — just to let them know. Back then SMS was 0.2euro/message, and calls even more expensive!! Ok… I just aged myself. But I still feel like in my 20s

Call for Tutorials & Skill Sessions: Deep Learning Indaba 2026 ✨ Under this year’s theme, "Sovereign Intelligence: Africa’s Path in a Frontier AI World," we are officially opening our first-ever open call for Tutorials and Skill Sessions. We are looking for experts and educators to empower the African community with the tools to build, control, and deploy AI. What are we looking for? 🔹Tutorials (2hrs): Foundational, lecture-style sessions (e.g., GNNs, Climate Modelling, Agentic AI). 🔹Skill Sessions (1hr): Hands-on "how-to" demos (e.g., shipping production code, research writing). Whether you are teaching core fundamentals or exploring technological sovereignty through open-source stacks, we want to hear from you. 🗓️ Deadline: 8th March 2026 (AOE) 📍 Where: In-person in Nigeria (with post-Indaba online opportunities!) Apply here: forms.gle/vLaMfooupUowyy… Let’s build a foundation for African AI agency together! #DLI2026 #Indaba2026

Zhou et al., "FreeFix: Boosting 3D Gaussian Splatting via Fine-Tuning-Free Diffusion Models" Training-free method to "fix" 3DGS with diffusion. Render novel views --> SD Edit+Guidance --> refine.

The most famous conversation in the Bible still leaves us speechless. You?

"Jesus saved my life from the beginning" Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus scores his first goal since January following a lengthy spell on the sidelines ❤️

Tedla et al., "Generating the Past, Present and Future from a Motion-Blurred Image" Fine-tune a video model to create the video of what would've created the blurry image. So "live" photos from motion blur I guess? Neat :)

Ramos et al., "Beyond the Noise: Aligning Prompts with Latent Representations in Diffusion Models" You can learn to measure image-text alignment early on in the denoising process. Allows early pruning of bad outcomes for Best-of-N generations.

In a new proof-of-concept study, we’ve trained a GPT-5 Thinking variant to admit whether the model followed instructions. This “confessions” method surfaces hidden failures—guessing, shortcuts, rule-breaking—even when the final answer looks correct. openai.com/index/how-conf…

ubc-vision.github.io/sonic/ And yes, it's our work ;)

Baek et al., "SONIC: Spectral Optimization of Noise for Inpainting with Consistency" Initial seed noise matters. And you can optimize it **without** any backprop through your denoiser via good-ol linearization. Importantly, you need to do this in Fourier space.
