Very excited to share V-JEPA 2! I've been working on the encoder pretraining pipeline and data curation for this model the last few months, and am excited for it to finally be out!

We just published "Qinco2: Vector Compression and Search with Improved Implicit Neural Codebooks" on arXiv, work led by our talented intern, Theophane Vallaeys.

Qinco2 achieves as much as 40-60% reduction error for vector compression, as well as better performance for approximate similarity search.

Vector quantization is a fundamental technique for compression and large-scale nearest neighbor search. For high-accuracy operating points, multi-codebook quantization associates data vectors with one...

One thing I've found in research is the constant counterbalancing between "prototype" code and "engineered" code.

Prototyped code is often a bit hacky, but gets the job done. But if you ever need to extend it, it can be quite a pain.

Engineered code usually has some overarching design philosophy

For MRI folks: we just rolled out a new release to torchkbnufft, first in a couple years.

The changes are for working with newer package versions. Things now work on numpy 2.0, and a few deprecations are fixed. Other than that, it's the same as before :). Get it with

`pip install torchkbnufft`
Release v1.5.2 Fix required numpy version · mmuckley/torchkbnufft
What's Changed Update required numpy by @mmuckley in #103 Full Changelog: v1.5.1...v1.5.2

Good thoughts, some of which I've learned from trial and error over the years.

The advice part, centering things on technical points, is also useful for academic publishing and the review process. It really helps defuse what tends to be an adversarial relationship with reviewers (or authors).
2. Then there's this very inspirational post from @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social about handling technical discussions gael-varoquaux.info/programming/...
My takeaways (i) There's no you nor I, there are only features, (ii) be techincal and actionable, (iii) don't write anything you could regret
