Seven Things for October 25, 2017

Seven links for today:

  • Prof. Min Chen has assembled a page of all the STAR (State of the Art), review, and survey papers in Computer Graphics Forum. Such articles are great for getting up to speed on a topic.
  • Jendrik Illner has been writing a weekly roundup of recent blog posts and other online resources for computer graphics. Some good stuff in there, articles I missed, and I’m happy to see someone filtering through and summing up what’s out there. I hope he doesn’t burn out anytime soon.
  • ACM TOG is now encouraging submitting code with articles, so as to be able to reproduce results and build off previous work. I’m happy to see it.
  • There is now a Monument to an Anonymous Peer Reviewer at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics (more pics here, and Kickstarter page). I liked, “Researchers from across the world will visit to touch the “Accept” side in the hope that the gods of peer review will smile down upon them.”
  • Some ARKit apps in development look like wonderful magic. Which is often how demos look, vs. reality, but let me have my dreams for now.
  • One more AI post: the jobs of people who name colors are not yet at risk. Though I do like the computer’s new color name “Snowbonk” and some of the others. Certainly “Stanky Bean” is descriptive, no worse than puce.
  • I should have reposted months ago, but many others already have. Just in case you missed it, Stephen Hill’s SIGGRAPH 2017 link collection is wonderfully useful, as usual.
