SAM 3: Segment Anything with Concepts

ICLR 2026poster

We present Segment Anything Model (SAM) 3, a unified model that detects, segments, and tracks objects in images and videos based on concept prompts, which we define as either short noun phrases (e.g., “yellow school bus”), image exemplars, or a combination of both. Promptable Concept Segmentation (P…

The SA-FARI Dataset: Segment Anything in Footage of Animals for Recognition and Identification

CVPR 2026

Automated video analysis is critical for wildlife conservation. A foundational task in this domain is multi-animal tracking (MAT), which underpins applications such as individual re-identification and behavior recognition. However, existing datasets are limited in scale, constrained to a few species

SAM 2: Segment Anything in Images and Videos

ICLR 2025oral

We present Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), a foundation model towards solving promptable visual segmentation in images and videos. We build a data engine, which improves model and data via user interaction, to collect the largest video segmentation dataset to date. Our model is a simple transforme…

Exploring Why Object Recognition Performance Degrades Across Income Levels and Geographies with Factor Annotations

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Despite impressive advances in object-recognition, deep learning systems’ performance degrades significantly across geographies and lower income levels---raising pressing concerns of inequity. Addressing such performance gaps remains a challenge, as little is understood about why performance degrade…

FACET: Fairness in Computer Vision Evaluation Benchmark

ICCV 2023poster

Computer vision models have known performance disparities across attributes such as gender and skin tone. This means during tasks such as classification and detection, model performance differs for certain classes based on the demographics of the people in the image. These disparities have been show…

Revisiting Weakly Supervised Pre-Training of Visual Perception Models

CVPR 2022poster

Model pre-training is a cornerstone of modern visual recognition systems. Although fully supervised pre-training on datasets like ImageNet is still the de-facto standard, recent studies suggest that large-scale weakly supervised pre-training can outperform fully supervised approaches. This paper rev…

Growing Action Spaces

ICML 2020poster

In complex tasks, such as those with large combinatorial action spaces, random exploration may be too inefficient to achieve meaningful learning progress. In this work, we use a curriculum of progressively growing action spaces to accelerate learning. We assume the environment is out of our control,…

PHYRE: A New Benchmark for Physical Reasoning

NeurIPS 2019poster

Understanding and reasoning about physics is an important ability of intelligent agents. We develop the PHYRE benchmark for physical reasoning that contains a set of simple classical mechanics puzzles in a 2D physical environment. The benchmark is designed to encourage the development of learning al…
