The NYC Computer Vision Day is an invite-only event that aims to be an informal day where the computer vision community from NYC and surroundings can share ideas and meet. A primary focus is visibility for graduate students and early career researchers. In addition to a strong showing from ≈ 260 researchers from 60+ research labs and 15+ universities, we anticipate a small number of our industry friends.

Our schedule gives near-equal time to informal discussion and talks to encourage discussion; our talks are primarily from students to give them visibility in the community; our start is slightly later than usual since people are coming from far away.

Breakfast, lunch, and coffee are all provided, and there is time for informal discussion before the official start time of 10AM and after the official end time of 6PM.

9:30 - 10AM	Breakfast Available and Informal Conversations (Not part of official program)
10AM - Noon	Talk Session 1: 2 Keynotes, 9 Lightning Talks
		Keynote 1: Chuang Gan (UMass Amherst) Learning World Models for Embodied Generalist Agents
	⚡ Rundi Wu (Columbia): ReconFusion: 3D Reconstruction with Diffusion Priors
	⚡ Yueyu Hu (NYU): Towards 3D Telepresense via Point Cloud Videos: Compression, Streaming, and Rendering
	⚡ Jason Ma (Penn): Foundation Reward Models for Robot Learning from Human Videos
	⚡ Akshaj Veldanda (NYU): Hyper-parameter Tuning for Fair Classification without Sensitive Attribute Access
		Keynote 2: Christine Allen-Blanchette (Princeton) Representing color as a symmetry We introduce a convolutional neural network equivariant to color variation by design. We leverage the observation that changes in hue and saturation can be modeled geometrically to encode color information explicitly, resulting in improved interpretability, accuracy and generalizability over conventional counterparts.

We will have both oral presentations and posters.

Posters: Each attending PI will be given a 24" (high) x 36" (wide) posterboard in one session. This can be used as the PI sees fit: for instance, a single larger poster or multiple smaller posters.

Presentations: Lightning talks will have 5 minutes to present, and keynotes will have 17 minutes plus 5 minutes of questions.

NYU has strict building security and our room has limited capacity (≤284 in the format that allows us posters). Thus, we have a strict guest list. If you are not a confirmed guest, you will not be admitted to the building or event. There are no exceptions.
