We introduce Perception Encoder (PE), a family of state-of-the-art vision encoders for image and video understanding. Traditionally, vision encoders have relied on a variety of pretraining objectives, each excelling at different downstream tasks. Surprisingly, after scaling a carefully tuned image p…
Net-winged midge larvae (genus Liponeura) can achieve robust attachment and crawl on the slippery surface in the fast stream with their powerful abdominal suckers. The rigid spine-like structures distributed in the sucker cavity called microtrichia, have been proven to be crucial in the adhesion pro…
Creating open-ended algorithms, which generate their own never-ending stream of novel and appropriately challenging learning opportunities, could help to automate and accelerate progress in machine learning. A recent step in this direction is the Paired Open-Ended Trailblazer (POET), an algorithm th…
