Yesterday we officially launched CAESAR: the Stanford Center for AEroSpace Autonomy Research: caesar.stanford.edu. Goal: solve the hard problems in spacecraft autonomy through the judicious incorporation of AI. More here: spacenews.com/stanford-cente… @StanfordEng @StanfordAILab

As a researcher, I have two kinds of ideas: the bad ones, and those that other people had 5y ago.

Large language models and web-scale data have some use in robotics as a user interface as nicely demonstrated here, but in my opinion they are not what we need to help with perception, object representation and precise planning which are the real current barriers in robotics.

Super! For people in small and young ML teams, not having this acquired knowledge base is a huge barrier. Have been looking for this for a while.

Its super weird to end the year with an incredible amount of learning and growth, but disproportionately high dissatisfaction at the same time. On the positive side, I have felt internal momentum building up to change this lately. So, the next year is full of optimism.

Russel Kirsch was the inventor of the pixel. He passed away only a couple of years ago. The 172 x 172 image of his son made in 1957 is the 1st digital images ever made. It's a photo that changed the world. His legacy lives on in the billions of photos we take and share each day.

Blender visualization of a flexible camera model I made for rendering in #InstantNeRF so you can see what’s going on. Who says we have to use perspective cameras all the time?! I love NeRF so much. Cheap and easy photorealistic renders is a game changer for digital surrealism.

"An Impartial Take to the CNN vs Transformer Robustness Contest" Are vision transformers really better than CNNs? This paper strongly suggests an answer, based on a robustness throwdown between {ViT, Swin} vs {BiT, ConvNeXt}. [1/10]

It takes Gandalf 77 years of "research" to verify that Bilbo's is the One Ring. And they tell me six months is a reasonable paper deadline, smh.

One of my biggest fears in life is to end up with such a narrow range of experiences that it makes one too opaque to absorb new perspectives, new knowledge, new stories and new people.

Adding @weights_biases support hooks to the training stack has been so awesome and easy that I feel terrible for not doing it soon enough. What a slick platform !
