We look forward to ACVSS 2025 @ACVSS_AI . We started as a community to document inequities in Computer Vision research, github.com/Ro-ya-cv4Afric…. One of our goals was the summer school, and we are also looking forward to the first African wide faculty retreat .

Day 7. "Sunday is fun day", he said. And that's true today; we're thrilled to learn about Vision and Language lectured by Yuki Asano (@y_m_asano). Yuki unraveled the intricacies of VLMs, MLLMs and how to fine-tune large models for novel tasks and datasets. #ACVSS

Day 6. Saturday, we went to the Nairobi National Park for a safari day. It seems like we forgot about computer vision and images for a day, but did we ? Somehow, everyone kept taking pictures. Don't worry, more lectures are coming up very soon😉 #ACVSS

Day 3. What a day🤯 In the afternoon, after a busy (too short) poster session and an exciting chat with @vukosi, students had breakout mentorship sessions, closing the day by kicking off the ACVSS hackathon. Looking forward to Day 10 and discovering all ideas that emerged. #ACVSS
