I asked my husband if there is a French equivalent of "sticks and stones will break my bones" and he gave me "the toad's drool doesn't reach the white dove" and "the train of your insults is rolling on the rails of my indifference" and now I would like both of these on a t-shirt

Sneak peak into the live event. That's the most important part of the FF, the other 2.5 hours pale in comparison.

Can we meet to have beer/coffee and talk about field trend, open scientific questions, the future of our species (this may get mildly depressing) and the meaning of life instead?

I will be presenting in the 10.30 session in room 208-209. I will share thoughts about implicit/generative and explicit appearance representations. See you there if that sounds interesting!

IntrinsicEdit: Precise generative image manipulation in intrinsic space We present a powerful generative editing workflow built on the RGB-X diffusion framework, enabling pixel-precise, semantic image manipulation across tasks like relighting, color adjustment, and object...

Editing appearance, geometry, lighting with precision is easy with a 3D scene representation. But it's so much more difficult with just an image or photograph.

Enter IntrinsicEdit: Precise generative image manipulation in intrinsic space (SIGGRAPH 2025)!

⭐ Image editing without paired data, delivering on the promise of RGB<->X! Edit in Intrinsic space, get back your image with the desired modification!
The method is quite fun too, conditional token optimization and noise inversion.

I feel like "j'veux dire..." would be a pretty solid equivalent

Lots of ad for this in Old Street tube stop. Who is this ad for. Is the goal negative buzz?

Brilliant insights from @michael-j-black.bsky.social on the importance of data and 3D+ for 4D foundation models that understand humans, and the future of embodied intelligence in the last keynote talk of #Eurographics2025!

See you next year in Aachen :)
