Is Scale 'Solving' Computer Vision? Researchers Clash Over 3D Understanding, Robotics Timeline
GeorgiaChal · x · 2026-09-20
Georgia Chal pushes back on claims that scale has "solved" computer vision: detection, segmentation, and tracking are only part of vision. 3D/4D scene understanding, physical state estimation, interaction understanding, uncertainty, prediction under intervention, and robust generalization remain major open problems — especially visible in robotics.
She agrees scale has produced remarkable progress, but argues the interesting scientific question is which capabilities actually emerge with scale, where models still fail, and what role structure plays.
