From awd at cs.cmu.edu Thu May 1 13:51:37 2025 From: awd at cs.cmu.edu (Artur Dubrawski) Date: Thu, 1 May 2025 13:51:37 -0400 Subject: small victory Message-ID: Team, I've just learned that our joint proposal with partners at IST, the famed Tecnico, of Lisbon Portugal, has been founded by the CMU-Portugal program. The story was built on the work done by our recent visitor Goncalo Mesquita, and had contributions from Mononito since the method of choice to model human motion in videos was actually MOMENT. This is a really small funding intended to foster a collaboration, at our side it only covers approx. 1 day per week of a doctoral student cost for a year. But we can use it to develop bids for more money in the future. So, I am not bragging about its funding volume here, what is exceptional is that this proposal was ranked very firmly as #1 in the reviews of this year's batch. It may mean that we still know how to write effective proposals :) Cheers, Artur -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
