βπ½βπ½ come join and collaborate with us
Really interesting talk about quantization and optimisation of LLMs ππ½
And we are on! Remember that you can watch any talks live on the stream: live.fosdem.org/watch/aw1120
Come and join us this Saturday π

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more
π§ π Iβm excited to share our new paper in Energy & AI!

Screenshot of a paper entry: Fictional Failures and Real-World Lessons: Ethical Speculation Through Design Fiction on Emotional Support Conversational AI Authors: Faye Kollig, Jessica Pater, Fayika Farhat Nova, Casey Fiesler (There are tabs with "abstract" and "summary" and "summary" is selected.)
The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

I have created this repo github.com/crp94/geospa... for easy, scalable, and flexible use of geospatial embeddings, currently supporting GeoCLIP and SatCLIP (more are coming!)
Not many new functionalities, it's just a simple wrapper that I created for my own convenience.
π Nominations to #CVMP2025 awards are still open in the following categories:
π§βπ» Research Impact
π₯ Collaboration
π½οΈ Technology Impact
π More information to apply: www.cvmp-conference.org/2025/awards/
Please, share widely! And if you know anyone who could be interested, encourage them to apply!
Great overview of the workshops and tutorials.
My favorites:
1) CAD representation
2) synthetic data to help city-scale reconstruction
3) trends in 3D vision
4) visual chain-of-thoughts?
It's Halloween. So here's a story about the horror of replacing your developers with AI:
