I am *very* excited to announce our SIGGRAPH 2026 workshop: Lines & Minds: Visual Abstraction in Art, Psychology, and Computer Graphics 🎨🧠🫖 🔗 lines-and-minds.github.io 📅 Sunday, July 19 Join us to explore how visual abstraction shapes how we think, create, and communicate.

Our short film Dear Upstairs Neighbors is previewing at @sundancefest. 🎬 It’s a story about noisy neighbors, but behind the scenes, it’s about solving a huge challenge in generative AI: control. Developed by Pixar alumni, an Academy Award winner, researchers, and engineers, here’s how it came together. 🎨

This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.

📢 Lyra: Generative 3D Scene Reconstruction via Video Diffusion Model Self-Distillation Got only one or a few images and wondering if recovering the 3D environment is a reconstruction or generation problem? Why not do it with a generative reconstruction model! We show that a camera-conditioned video diffusion model can be transformed into a generative reconstruction model that directly outputs a high-quality 3D Gaussian Splatting representation through self-distillation, without requiring real-world training data. Check out our results in the video (wait for dynamic scenes in the second half!) : Project Page: research.nvidia.com/labs/tor… Code and Models: github.com/nv-tlabs/lyra Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2509.19296

Season 1 of Toronto School of Foundation Modelling kicks off this Thursday at New Stadium!!! 60 people will be attending weekly sessions for 3 months, learning to build Foundation Models from scratch. Around 10 guest speakers (more to come) will be flying to Toronto to talk about what they do best. I'm grateful for the support of Cohere, New, Vengeance and all the donors. I will make this a series worth your time. And apologies to the people I didn't get back to - spots are all taken but will reach out if that changes.

I’m excited to announce that our paper, “Learning Riemannian Metrics for Interpolating Animations,” has been accepted to GSI 2025! 🧵 co-authored with @vm2358 at @UofT and @ninamiolane at the @UCSB @geometric_intel lab! gi.ece.ucsb.edu/node/217

“Everyone knows” what an autoencoder is… but there's an important complementary picture missing from most introductory material. In short: we emphasize how autoencoders are implemented—but not always what they represent (and some of the implications of that representation).🧵
