Today we release gradslam - automagically differentiable SLAM. Run dense 3D reconstruction in @PyTorch! And, it's fully differentiable :) Co-led w/ @S_Saryazdi, ably supported by @mautkiungli @duckietown_coo Webage: gradslam.github.io Paper: arxiv.org/abs/1910.10672

Gradschool applicants from India: I know a large fraction of profs at Indian universities ask you to draft your own letters of recommendation. This is quite unfortunate! (1/6)
