Olga's CVPR paper

I'd like to congratulate my colleague Olga Barinova on the paper, which is accepted to CVPR international conference! To my knowledge, it is the first paper from our lab, which is accepted to a Rank 1 conference (though it was written during Olga's internship at Microsoft Research).

The paper is on multiple object retrieval. They extend the Hough transform with some graphical model, which makes the results more robust. As soon as the paper become publicly available, I'll add the link here.

a fish and a hat....

the next time your significant other says 'i am going to mount a fish in our house', say 'that's fine...i'm going to spray paint it gold and make it wear a hat'...then you have a happy compromise ;)
