Still working to polish that amazing Vision for Art and Culture (VISART) paper? A small amount of extra time until 1st July. This is the final extension.
As we approach the #ECCV Conference decision time, if R2 was their traditional harsh persona, don't forget Vision for Art and Culture (#VISART) for your relevant work. Deadline shortly after on the 24th June.

When people think Computer Vision people work with “normal” data things… I beg to differ

Trains in the UK are the worst way to travel. Over crowded, no space for luggage. And to top it off crazy high prices. I refuse the cost of a flight to the US for first class so that I don’t have my bag on my lap and can actually work. @nationalrail, do better, help reduce CO2.
