ECCV 2022 - Wednesday

With brain drain being a hot topic in Turkey, does Fatma intend to stay put for now? “ Yes, everything looks great for now – I think I will stay for a few more years at least! ” she laughs. “ I have friends, family, and amazing students here. There are lots of reasons to stay. Also, Istanbul is amazing. You should visit! ” We ask Kaan and Fatma for one final pitch – why should our readers come to see their poster? “ It’s one of the most accurate world models for self-driving – actually, it’s state of the art, ” Fatma asserts. “ It builds on great work from BEV and FIERY and improves the state of the art in all metrics, particularly in long horizons and further regions in the scene, which is still relevant for the car. We have an amazing poster! ” Kaan adds: “ Our model predicts not only accurate but also diverse results, which means it can imagine different futures depending on the input. ” Before we finish, Fatma has a plea for the community: “ We need to increase diversity! I keep saying it, but more women, more minorities, and more internships for students, not only in Europe and the US but also in Turkey. I care about that deeply. We need diverse backgrounds. ” To learn more about Kaan and Fatma’s work, you are invited to visit Poster 2.B today from 15:30-17:30. 26 Poster Presentation
