  "summary": "This paper examines the role of Novel View Synthesis (NVS) in geometric representation learning. In principle, NVS should reason about 3D scene structure, thereby enabling transferable multi-view geometric representations. Yet, existing encoder-based NVS methods yield poor representations. This is not because of a lack of supervisory signal, but rather due to inconspicuous architectural choices:…",
