The African Computer Vision Summer School (ACVSS) unites outstanding African students and researchers with leading computer vision and AI experts. 🌍 #ACVSSacvss.ai KenyaJoined February 2024
Beyond technical and scientific knowledge, ACVSS is also an opportunity to connect with scientists on the continent. This year, the open day united scientists from @UnivofGh, @Google Accra, independent researchers and more with our crowd of talented students.
Raesetje Sefala is an amazing human being. I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday afternoon cuisine and tour of the huge University of Ghana’s Legon campus (my family’s association with that campus dates back to when my grandfather moved there in 1952), in #Accra, #Ghana’s capital.
You perfectly captured ACVSS: an opportunity to learn from outstanding scientists worldwide, gain hands-on experience through practicals and the hackathon, interact with talented students—the future computer vision scientists—and… play the piano, of course. What a memory 🇬🇭🎹
For 10 unforgettable days, @ACVSS_AI brought together an incredible group of students, researchers, and world-class lecturers to learn, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of computer vision.
From inspiring keynote talks and deeply engaging lectures to the hackathon,
Had a heartfelt experience teaching and interacting with a group of 30 outstanding African students as part of @ACVSS_AIacvss.ai. I was beyond impressed with the depth of their questions, their interest in pursuing research, and their kindness and generosity!
Two talks and a fireside chat today and tomorrow at the University of Ghana and Google African Computer Vision Summer School. Come say hi if you’re around.

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 10. To close of the summer school lecture series concluded with an incredible session by our organizers @HelgeRhodin and Raoul de Charette, diving into 3D scene reconstruction and a deep dive into Pose estimation. What an inspiring end to an amazing journey! #ACVSS
Day 10. Alyosha Efros gave an amazing keynote, sharing his lifelong battle on the importance of visual data. His research journey and insights on how, with enough data, simple algorithms can outperform SOTA methods on some tasks were astonishing. #ACVSS
Day 9. Nice keynote from Negar Rostamzadeh (@negar_rz) on how to build towards responsible computer vision. She shared her views on the complex process of creating more transparent and accountable frameworks. #ACVSS
Day 9. Big thanks to Sara Beery (@sarameghanbeery) for her insightful lecture on reducing datasets bias and constructing deployable computer vision that, beyond benchmarks, also contribute to real-life conservation applications. Such an inspiring line of work. #ACVSS
Day 8. Exciting keynote from Girmaw Abebe Tadesse (@girmawAT), principal scientist at Microsoft AI for Good, on their initiatives using AI to transform lives on the continent and the importance for AI makers to listen to people's needs. #ACVSS
Day 8. It was about time to add the temporal dimension. Big thanks to Hazel Doughty (@doughty_hazel) for her exciting lecture on video understanding, covering methods from optical flow to transformers for video. #ACVSS
Day 7. Camera Image Signal Processors (ISPs) are crucial to make image looks natural. We were lucky to welcome @mahmoudnafifi who gave a keynote on how to make learnable ISPs more reliable. #ACVSS
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
Huge shoutout to the
@RoyaCV4Africa community where it all began during the Ro'ya
DLI workshop! Thanks @mennatullahSiam and @HelgeRhodin for leading also the mentorship session. The community support from Ro'Ya has been incredible. #ACVSS
