Back home in these austere winter woods after a resoundingly successful

The trailer for my fall course just dropped:
I cannot wait to teach this class --- we're covering everything from Aristotle to AI. The philosophy of tech work? Check. Computer hackers? Check. Self-driving cars? We've got those too...

PAMI TC meeting will be held Wednesday, June 21st at 3:00pm in East Exhibit Halls A–B. Three motions will be discussed and voted upon, including a proposed repeal of the social media ban.
I wrote a piece on the pandemic, as one does these days. But this take is a bit different. I examine the unintended consequences of the extraordinary uptick in public interest in COVID science. What I found is troubling.

It's been rather frustrating to see "Internet culture" bleed over into reviewing over the past few years. Remember: the paper you are reviewing isn't a tweet you're responding to!

Woke up to some good news this morning: our paper on using visual psychophysics for making face recognition algorithms more explainable was accepted to ECCV 2018!
I want to thank everyone who participated in the rather healthy dialogue at yesterday's TC meeting. It's good to see the community thinking hard about the fundamentals of how our conferences operate.
The next TC meeting will be in Paris at
