Wow, you're over 7k! This is very impressive – thank you.

We have 3 announcements:

1. We're launching a live version of the channel to post interesting stuff from the ongoing conferences: @lossfunctionlive. ICCV 2019 (Seoul, South Korea) starts tomorrow and we’ll be there to share the hottest CV research with you 🔥


If you are also attending ICCV...

2. We plan to meet at some bar/restaurant near the ICCV venue to chat about AI and more. All the details will be posted in the discussion chat soon: @lossfunctionchat 🍻

3. I would be happy if you could visit my oral presentation of the paper "Learnable Triangulation of Human Pose" (Friday, Nov 1, 09:00 Oral 4.1A, Hall D1). BTW, we've recently released the code: github.com/karfly/learnable-triangulation-pytorch (give it some stars! ⭐️).
