Think LMMs can reason like a 3-year-old?

Think again!

Our Kid-Inspired Visual Analogies benchmark reveals where young children still win: ey242.github.io/kiva.github....

New paper! A self-supervised object-centric 2.1D image representation using 3D Gaussians, extending MAE with a Gaussian bottleneck. While Gaussian splatting has been used for single-scene reconstruction, we’re the first to apply it to image representation learning! brjathu.github.io/gmae/.

Matt Walter is my new favorite roboticist!

In a couple of minutes he is giving a talk about what he has been up to this year.
