In this episode of the Talking Papers Podcast, I hosted Marko Mihajlovic . We had a great chat about his paper "KeypointNeRF: Generalizing Image-based Volumetric Avatars using Relative Spatial Encoding of Keypoints”, published in ECCV 2022.    In this paper, they create a generalizable NeRF for virtual avatars. To get a high-fidelity reconstruction of humans (from sparse observations), they leverage an off-the-shelf keypoint detector in order to condition the NeRF.    Marko is a 2n...

Beyond Periodicity - Sameera Ramasinghe

Talking Papers Podcast: deep dives into research papers in computer vision, 3D, machine learning, and AI, with the authors who wrote them. Where research meets conversation. By researchers, for researchers.Each episode is structured like the paper itself: a TL;DR / abstract to set the stage, then related work, approach, results, conclusions, and future work. We close with a bonus segment called "What did Reviewer 2 say?", where the authors share the candid peer-review story behind the publication.Hosted by Itzik Ben-Shabat. Guests are PhD students, postdocs, and faculty from leading labs across academia and industry. Aimed at fellow researchers and graduate students who want the candid version of the work, not a polished press release.
