Rethinking how models "see"
Congratulations to BIFOLD researchers Tom Burgert, Oliver Stoll, and Begüm Demir from TU Berlin, and Paolo Rota from the University of Trento. They published a new study, that revisits a central claim in computer vision: so-called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) primarily rely on texture, rather than object shape, to recognize images. The publication was accepted as an oral presentation at NeurIPS 2025.
