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.

Aimed at fellow researchers and graduate students who want the candid version of the work, not a polished press release.
