27 Computer Vision News Computer Vision News The generic downs that we all have and maybe become easier and easier to take but I think it's quite familiar to people in this CVPR context: the paper submission process and having your work be understood and we all have failures such as rejected papers or rejected grant proposals. And I think it's a trick of the trade or a necessary skill that most of us probably can acquire pretty naturally but it takes time. It's just like the thick skin and the resilience and the persistence. Like maybe the thing that can turn around any of that that I've most learned to do effectively is like that persistence, right? You have to have that! What was the best wow moment that you had while listening to a student of yours? Well, I'll mention two things. One, I think what I've been really impressed by and learning about increasingly is how, between my students, the way they support each other, technically or otherwise and just seeing that blossom more and more, how it works and how it works best, is something that I'm learning from them. I think the other thing that I'm very touched by and that I've, as you say, I've learned is - and it's fresh in my head because every CVPR or so, we round up all of the former graduates, anyone who's here and it's now stretching back, whatever it is, 18-ish years - I was telling them today, it's a lifelong relationship, me and them, and then with each other too. And I think learning at these reunion moments or graduations, the influence that I potentially can have in whatever small way or otherwise for their career, for their learning, I think that's another thing that I'm aware of. And it gets exposed, like the day to day, we all do it and we're all working hard and that's not so present, but then in these special moments, you get to remember that. Can you imagine - that's a game, I know - what will be 24 CVPR from now? What CVPR will look like? Well, I'm sure we all are hoping or expecting that the growth won't be the same factor. I think what will keep happening now 10 years and say 24 is the closeness or the pulling closeness between adjacent fields on our own. We're already seeing that of course today, especially in robotics and language. And I think that Kristen Grauman “What a gift or a privilege, to be able to guide your own path and follow curiosity and work with lots of talented people!”
