African Computer Vision Summer School
@ACVSS_AI
The African Computer Vision Summer School (ACVSS) unites outstanding African students and researchers with leading computer vision and AI experts. 🌍 #ACVSS
📢 ACVSS deadline is extended by 10 days. Don't miss your last chance to join the African Computer Vision Summer School -- we have amazing lecturers and speakers. 👉acvss.ai 🎓Apply by march 25 ❤️Follow us
We look forward to ACVSS 2025 @ACVSS_AI . We started as a community to document inequities in Computer Vision research, github.com/Ro-ya-cv4Afric…. One of our goals was the summer school, and we are also looking forward to the first African wide faculty retreat .
Day 10. To close of the summer school lecture series concluded with an incredible session by our organizers @HelgeRhodin and Raoul de Charette, diving into 3D scene reconstruction and a deep dive into Pose estimation. What an inspiring end to an amazing journey! #ACVSS
Day 10. Alyosha Efros gave an amazing keynote, sharing his lifelong battle on the importance of visual data. His research journey and insights on how, with enough data, simple algorithms can outperform SOTA methods on some tasks were astonishing. #ACVSS
Day 9. Nice keynote from Negar Rostamzadeh (@negar_rz) on how to build towards responsible computer vision. She shared her views on the complex process of creating more transparent and accountable frameworks. #ACVSS
Day 9. Big thanks to Sara Beery (@sarameghanbeery) for her insightful lecture on reducing datasets bias and constructing deployable computer vision that, beyond benchmarks, also contribute to real-life conservation applications. Such an inspiring line of work. #ACVSS
Day 8. Exciting keynote from Girmaw Abebe Tadesse (@girmawAT), principal scientist at Microsoft AI for Good, on their initiatives using AI to transform lives on the continent and the importance for AI makers to listen to people's needs. #ACVSS
Day 8. It was about time to add the temporal dimension. Big thanks to Hazel Doughty (@doughty_hazel) for her exciting lecture on video understanding, covering methods from optical flow to transformers for video. #ACVSS
Day 7. Camera Image Signal Processors (ISPs) are crucial to make image looks natural. We were lucky to welcome @mahmoudnafifi who gave a keynote on how to make learnable ISPs more reliable. #ACVSS
Day 7. "Sunday is fun day", he said. And that's true today; we're thrilled to learn about Vision and Language lectured by Yuki Asano (@y_m_asano). Yuki unraveled the intricacies of VLMs, MLLMs and how to fine-tune large models for novel tasks and datasets. #ACVSS
Day 6. Saturday, we went to the Nairobi National Park for a safari day. It seems like we forgot about computer vision and images for a day, but did we ? Somehow, everyone kept taking pictures. Don't worry, more lectures are coming up very soon😉 #ACVSS
Huge shoutout to the @RoyaCV4Africa community where it all began during the Ro'ya DLI workshop! Thanks @mennatullahSiam and @HelgeRhodin for leading also the mentorship session. The community support from Ro'Ya has been incredible. #ACVSS
Day 5. Yesterday, we had the chance to welcome Celia Cintas (@RTFMCelia), a research scientist at IBM Research Africa. She gave a keynote on adversarial attacks and out-of-distribution detection, a major topic for inclusive AI and CV. #ACVSS
Day 5. There is no modern computer vision without generative AI. We're excited this morning to have Ke Li @KL_Div lecture to demystify generative modeling and shed light on what makes up for the fantastic progress in image generation. #ACVSS
Day 4. Yet another great speaker. Big thanks to Karteek Alahari @inthebrownbag for lecturing on visual representation learning. So much knowledge was packed into a single lecture covering from incremental and multitask learning, all the way to continual learning. #ACVSS
Day 3. What a day🤯 In the afternoon, after a busy (too short) poster session and an exciting chat with @vukosi, students had breakout mentorship sessions, closing the day by kicking off the ACVSS hackathon. Looking forward to Day 10 and discovering all ideas that emerged. #ACVSS
Day 3. Today, we had the privilege of learning from @Abebab about the rise of AI and Computer Vision in surveillance. An exciting lecture with multiple workshops that challenged us to consider our own decisions regarding AI applications. #ACVSS
Got an opportunity to visit the new African Computer Mission Summer School @ACVSS_AI. Congratulations to all the organisers and participants. Great seeing @Abebab @DMachuve @bonjora @mphogo_dinorego and so many more friends in the AfricanAI ecosystem.
