Day 5. There is no modern computer vision without generative AI. We're excited this morning to have Ke Li Ke Li 🍁 lecture to demystify generative modeling and shed light on what makes up for the fantastic progress in image generation. #ACVSS

Huge shoutout to the Ro'ya CV4Africa community where it all began during the Ro'ya DLI workshop! Thanks mennatullah siam and Helge Rhodin for leading also the mentorship session. The community support from Ro'Ya has been incredible. #ACVSS

Day 7. "Sunday is fun day", he said. And that's true today; we're thrilled to learn about Vision and Language lectured by Yuki Asano (Yuki). Yuki unraveled the intricacies of VLMs, MLLMs and how to fine-tune large models for novel tasks and datasets. #ACVSS

Interesting talk from Mahmoud Afifi at African Computer Vision Summer School about the basics in Camera Image Signal Processors and its recent devolopments of making the pipeline more end-to-end!

Day 7. Camera Image Signal Processors (ISPs) are crucial to make image looks natural. We were lucky to welcome Mahmoud Afifi who gave a keynote on how to make learnable ISPs more reliable. #ACVSS

Day 8. It was about time to add the temporal dimension. Big thanks to Hazel Doughty (Hazel Doughty) for her exciting lecture on video understanding, covering methods from optical flow to transformers for video. #ACVSS

Day 8. Exciting keynote from Girmaw Abebe Tadesse (Girmaw Abebe Tadesse), principal scientist at Microsoft AI for Good, on their initiatives using AI to transform lives on the continent and the importance for AI makers to listen to people's needs. #ACVSS

Day 9. Big thanks to Sara Beery (Sara Beery) for her insightful lecture on reducing datasets bias and constructing deployable computer vision that, beyond benchmarks, also contribute to real-life conservation applications. Such an inspiring line of work. #ACVSS
