What should academics be doing right now? I have been writing up some thoughts on what the research says about effective action, and what universities specifically can do. davidbau.github.io/poetsandnurs... It's on GitHub. Suggestions and pull requests welcome. github.com/davidbau/poe... - Yikes
- Reposted by Jonathan SauderWe have two open PhD positions at the interface of AI and ecology. Start dates are Sept 2026. We are looking for candidates with a background in AI/CS, Math, Stats, or Physics that are passionate about solving challenging problems in these domains. Application deadline is in two weeks.

- For those in Switzerland (especially Zürich) - I strongly encourage you to go to the World Press Photo exhibition in the Landesmuseum. Like every year, it's completely soul-crushing, but so important. I have so much admiration for these photographers. www.worldpressphoto.org/calendar/202...

- We're looking for a motivated PhD student to join the ECEO Lab at EPFL Valais to work on multi-modal foundation models for earth observation! 🌍🛰️💻🤓 Come work with us under the supervision of Prof. Devis Tuia! careers.epfl.ch/job/Sion-PhD...
- Using the Coralscapes dataset, it becomes easy to transfer semantic information directly into 3D point clouds! Here's an example of a few images from a simple camera being used to make a semantic point cloud of an entire transect! #deeplearning #ai #coral #ai4conservation
- Here's the link to the quick and dirty script to do this: github.com/josauder/cor...

- New dataset & pre-print: The Coralscapes dataset for semantic scene understanding in coral reefs! 🤿🎥🐟🐠🐡 Coralscapes is the first dataset consistently annotated for general-purpose semantic segmentation in reefs, spanning 174k segmentation masks of 39 benthic classes on 2074 images!
- Project website: josauder.github.io/coralscapes/, with code, pre-trained models, and the download. Coralscapes is deliberately designed to follow the structure of Cityscapes, facilitating the use of state-of-the-art semantic segmentation neural networks in a challenging ecological domain!
- More details in the pre-print: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.20000 Coral reefs are under unprecedented threat, and monitoring is crucial to devising and assessing effective conservation strategies. Automated coral surveys based on computer vision have potential to scale monitoring up!
- This has been a colossal effort from the team: data acquisition, 1500+ hours of expert annotation, and thorough benchmarking! 🤓 A big thank you to my co-authors @viktordo.bsky.social, Guilhem Banc-Prandi, Gabriela Perna, Anders Meibom, Devis Tuia, and all members and partners of the @trsc_org!
- Reposted by Jonathan SauderLe monde reports that on March 9th a French scientist heading for a conference was denied entry to the US. His computer and cellphone were searched, and messages to friends were found where he expressed his opinion on the Trump admin and their politics wrt to science. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
- @iccv.bsky.social “All authors are required to register as reviewers” - how do I proceed if my submitted paper is interdisciplinary and some of my co-authors don’t have a background in computer vision? They obviously should not review #ICCV2025
- What will be the moment where the American people finally stand up against this?
- Very impressive! Looking forward to trying it 🔥
