🎬 Try TimeChat-Captioner (at #ICML2026 🙌) — a videoLLM that generates dense, time-aware captions for long videos.
Huge thanks to @multimodalart and @huggingface for building an interactive demo🤗🚀 Demo: https://t.co/81blcT0Etb💻 Project: https://t.co/1TgATsdaBC

🎉 New at #ICML2026, we present WiCAT for cross-subject modeling of widefield calcium imaging, as a key step toward its foundation modeling.
WiCAT learns shared brain-wide representations & enables zero-shot behavior decoding.

Excited to share that our paper “Affine-Equivariant Kernel Space Encoding for NeRF Editing” has been accepted to ICML 2026! 🎉
We also had a lot of fun designing an interactive poster with foldable 3D models, rotating Gaussian elements, and pull-tabs. #ICML2026 #NeRF pic.twitter.com/lwLsYHy9zq

That’s a wrap on #ICML2026 in Seoul! 🇰🇷
It was an incredible experience presenting my first ICML paper, Low-Compute Watermark Removal via Dual-Domain Natural Projection, and engaging in many insightful discussions at the poster session.

Just a quick note of thanks to Cody Kommers and @mmvty.bsky.social for organizing this workshop at #ICML2026. It affirmed my sense that there are shared problems in this space and fabulous people (esp ECRs) taking them on from a range of disciplinary perspectives, around the world.
