One concern that I have as an AI researcher when publishing code is that it can potentially be used in dual-use applications.
To solve this, we propose Civil Software Licenses. They prevent dual-use while being minimal in the restrictions they impose:

We are excited that Scholar Inbox is supporting ACL 2025
@aclmeeting.bsky.social with personalized conference programs this year for the first time!

It would be great if you could widely share this news within the NLP community. See you next week in Vienna!

Last team member moving to the new office!

Today, we moved into our new building on the CyberValley campus. Everyone is super excited. PhD students went right back to work. But wait, is there something missing? ;)

Today we had our AVG Deep Cave Expedition Day! Exploring the challenges of the (unlit, narrow, crawling-only) Hofener H?hle near Grabenstetten ..

A big milestone for us. Huge congrats to Bernhard, Daniel and team! The first comprehensive codebase for training RL self-driving agents with state-of-the-art performance on both CARLA 2.0 and nuPlan.

In case you find it as relaxing as we do: Here is a 2h+ video of our autonomous RL driving agent CaRL in action! @danieldauner.bsky.social @bernhard-jaeger.bsky.social @kashyap7x.bsky.social

Thanks for being our #1 ambassador, Claire! Enjoy ICML!

Yesterday, the founding team behind scholar-inbox.com took home the Audience Award ?? and the Best Business Model Award ??!
Philipp Hühn and @markusflicke.bsky.social impressed everyone with a clear and engaging pitch of their smart recommender tool for academic papers.

I am very proud of my group! These are the nationalities of my current and past team members. Diversity is key.

Last day of our AVG Summer retreat 2025 in Balderschwang! Many talks and for the first time 2 panel discussions and a PhD life hack session. And of course some sports,games,swimming and lots of fun..

Join us for our RealADSim Challenge! Closed-loop Driving in a 3DGS-based Simulator .. how cool is that? ;)

Scholar Inbox is featured on the ML for Science blog!

Christina's new work PrITTI generates high-quality, controllable 3D semantic urban scenes in a compact primitive-based representation using a latent diffusion model. This enables applications like scene editing, inpainting, and photo-realistic street view synthesis!

Very happy that finally - after ~2 years of review - PanopticNERF-360 has been accepted to TPAMI :)
Panoramic 3D-to-2D Label Transfer in Urban Scenes. Kudos to the team and Yiyi Liao for leading the effort. Here is the project page: fuxiao0719.github.io/projects/pan...

The 2025 Waymo Challenge results are out! We achieved second place in the End-to-End Driving Challenge with DiffusionLTF and third place in the Scenario Generation Challenge with SHRED. Our approaches prioritized simplicity, and we're preparing to make them publicly available soon.

Hooray! Shaofei's "Relightable Full-body Gaussian Codec Avatars" work neuralbodies.github.io/RFGCA/ is featured in this years SIGGRAPH 2025 Technical Papers Trailer! @acmsiggraph.bsky.social:

How can we reliably simulate future driving scenarios under a wide range of ego driving behaviors? Check out: ReSim: Reliable World Simulation for Autonomous Driving

Excited to present our #CVPR2025 paper DepthSplat next week!
DepthSplat is a feed-forward model that achieves high-quality Gaussian reconstruction and view synthesis in just 0.6 seconds.
Looking forward to great conversations at the conference!

?? Pseudo-simulation combines the efficiency of open-loop and robustness of closed-loop evaluation. It uses real data + 3D Gaussian Splatting synthetic views to assess error recovery, achieving strong correlation with closed-loop simulations while requiring 6x less compute. arxiv.org/abs/2506.04218

While we mostly like to get rid of the steering wheel, sometimes we still need one. @bernhard-jaeger.bsky.social posting for a press release about his grant..

Many thanks to the Vector Stiftung vector-stiftung.de for funding our research on efficient scaling of reinforcement learning as part of their MINT innovation program! And big congratulations to @bernhard-jaeger.bsky.social for this success!

EMPERROR is a new generative perception error model for probing self-driving planners. It imitates modern 3D detectors, maintains temporal consistency, and reveals brittleness in IL-based planning - raising collision rates by up to 85%! #RA_L #robotics #AI - lasnik.github.io/emperror/

Congratulations to Dr. Christian Reiser for successfully defending his PhD work on 3D Representations for Real-Time Novel View Synthesis Based on Differentiable Rendering!

Congratulations to Dr. Stefan Baur for defending his PhD work on self-supervised Lidar scene flow, motion segmentation and object detection! baurst.github.io

?? Excited to share our #CVPR2025 Spotlight paper and my internship project @wayve: SimLingo.
A Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that achieves state-of-the-art driving performance with language capabilities.
