SynBalance: balancing rare classes with synthetic data
Computer vision models tend to learn more about what they see often — and much less about what they see rarely.This is the classic challenge of long-tailed distributions: some classes (like “cat” or “car”) have thousands of examples, while others (“anteater”, “tractor”) appear only a few times. The paper SynBalance: Harnessing Synthetic Data in Long-tailed…

ROSE: Object Removal in Videos Powered by Synthetic 3D Data
Generative models have made impressive progress in video editing and manipulation, but there’s still one very hard challenge: completely removing objects — not only the object itself, but also the side effects it creates such as shadows, reflections, illumination changes, translucency, and even mirror appearances. The recent work ROSE (Remove Objects with Side Effects in…

DAViD by Microsoft: A Public Milestone in Computer Vision with Synthetic Data
When it comes to computer vision and synthetic data, we often see closed-off research — applied to proprietary contexts and far from public access. That’s why the recent DAViD project (Data-efficient and Accurate Vision models from synthetic Data), presented by Microsoft at ICCV 2025, stands out: it was fully released to the public, including code,…

Is AI “shutting down” our brains? A reflection beyond the hype
Over the past few days, a study from MIT gained traction across social media. Dramatic interpretations quickly followed: that using ChatGPT was “shutting down” parts of the brain, that we’re losing our ability to think, that we’re becoming avatars on autopilot. Posts shared colorful images and catchy headlines — often without explaining what the study…

How Synthetic Data Is Powering 4D Scene Reconstruction: Lessons from the Geo4D Paper
4D scene reconstruction — building 3D environments that evolve over time — is one of the most ambitious challenges in computer vision today. Traditionally, it requires large amounts of high-quality, annotated real-world data, which is expensive, time-consuming, and often impractical to collect. But what if we could train high-performing models without a single real-world sample?…
