Published @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social with @drewlinsley.bsky.social & @tonyfeng.bsky.social: As vision models scale to human/superhuman accuracy, they’re becoming worse models of primate vision—benchmark engineering isn’t neuroscience. @carneyinstitute.bsky.social @browncopsy.bsky.social
Better artificial intelligence does not mean better models of biology
Deep neural networks (DNNs) once showed increasing alignment with primate perception
as they improved on vision benchmarks, raising hopes that advances in artificial intelligence
(AI) would naturally ...

Siphonophores are champions of community collaboration. 🤝🏆
This isn't one animal. It's actually a colony of individual animals called zooids. Each has a specialized role. From the orb-like swimming nectophores to the bright orange stinging tentacles, they're essential to the survival of all.

Pixel reconstruction has recently been somewhat overshadowed by latent SSL approaches such as DINO.
However, for 3D tasks we show that a scaled and simplified version of multi-view MAE (which we call MuM) can outperform DINOv3, all while using orders of magnitude less compute!

We are introducing MuM, a feature encoder (ViT-L) tailored for 3D vision tasks.
TLDR; Spiritual successor to CroCo with a simpler multi-view objective and larger scale. Beats DINOv3 and CroCo v2 in RoMa, feedforward reconstruction, and rel. pose.
