    To clarify, in case not obvious, this plagiarised paper will not appear at ICCV 2021 and we are accumulating evidence to pass to IEEE and CVF. Do not refer to it as ICCV2021 paper, for correctness. Authors of ICML 2021 paper have been informed. We thank them for their cooperation

    Replying to @RaquelUrtasun and @UofT
    0 papers accepted #ECCV2020. Still very proud of the two papers we had under review, and I certainly feel I can take summer holidays as well... if it wasn't for our workshop at ECCV, release of EPIC-KITCHENS-100 dataset and the brilliant team I lead - small and beautiful ;-)

    I’m looking for a rising star postdoc to join my group from Jan 2021 or shortly after, for 30 months with a possible extension. A very engaging research project on video-understanding, building on our egocentric vision strength, in collaboration with Andrea and AZ @Oxford_VGG.

    Shoutout to the anonymous reviewer in my @CVPR #CVPR2024 AC pile who raised their scores from WR to WA with the comment: "I apologise that I did not notice XXX... ". Heart-warming when reviewers take their jobs seriously as scientific assessors regardless of the ego!

    IMO you should submit a paper because you *want* the work to be accessible to others- you learnt something you wish to share. Recent trend that authors *need* the publication for grad school or job is harmful. Works you are not proud of can negatively impact career and motivation
