SUMMARY:Vision Seminar: Alyosha Efros - Are we (Still!) Not Giving Data En
 ough Credit?
LOCATION:SCH 406
DESCRIPTION:For most of its existence\, computer science in general\, and 
 visual computing in particular\, has been primarily focused on algorithms\
 , with data treated largely as an afterthought. Only recently\, with the a
 dvances in AI\, did our field start to truly appreciate the singularly cru
 cial role played by data.  But even now we might still be underestimating 
 it (e.g. the word "data" is missing even in Sutton's famous "Bitter Lesson
 " essay). In this talk\, I will begin with some examples illustrating the 
 importance of large visual data for visual analysis and synthesis.  I will
  then share some of our recent results showing how paying attention to dat
 a can bring about better understanding of the models and even better perfo
 rmance.\n\nhttps://cail.columbia.edu/events/2026-10-06-alyosha-efros
