Projects
The amount of NeRF paper each day can become overwhelming. After several summaries, I’ve created a small tool that can create blog posts automatically but also can create daily slide decks from arXiv. The tool runs entirely independently and categorizes cs.CV, writes a summary, extracts a teaser image, and builds a slide deck.
