16 Oct '23

I need to work on a NSF deadline this week, so have to skip most of the one-on-one meetings. Please send me a summary of your progress and any questions you may have on Slack. If you need a discussion, just let me know and we can schedule a meeting this Friday. For students who are aiming submissions to CVPR, I need to see your writing progress everyday and a complete draft by Oct. 25. Everyone needs to be more ambitious and speed up your research progress as much as possible. At this time, all the researchers in this community are doing similar research. If you don’t hurry up to get your ideas out, they will be soon published by others and you won’t get any recognition. --------------------------------- Lifu Huang Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Virginia Tech
