Our paper "Beyond [cls]: Exploring the True Potential of Masked Image Modeling Representations" has been accepted to @ICCVConference! 🧵 TL;DR: Masked image models (like MAE) underperform not just because of weak features, but because they aggregate them poorly. [1/7]

New paper out - accepted at @ICCVConference We introduce MoSiC, a self-supervised learning framework that learns temporally consistent representations from video using motion cues. Key idea: leverage long-range point tracks to enforce dense feature coherence across time.🧵

Can we build multimodal models by simply aligning pretrained unimodal models with limited paired data? We introduce STRUCTURE 🏗️: a lightweight, plug-and-play regularizer that preserves latent geometry to align frozen unimodal models using <1% of paired data typically used in…

Deep search and satellite data is an interesting mix 🔥🛰️ The demo shows the AI Reporter doing deep investigation into the Palisades fire early in 2025. In ~2 minutes you get a concise report, based on deep search and satellite data. #geoAI #AI4EO #PalisadesFire #AgenticAI

(1/n) Time to unify your favorite visual generative models, VLMs, and simulators for controllable visual generation—Introducing a Product of Experts (PoE) framework for inference-time knowledge composition from heterogeneous models.

Thank got that nobody submits papers to both #ICCV2025 and #NeurIPS2025. Writing rebuttals for one while working on the deadline for the other would be a total nightmare.

👏 Huge congrats to our research scientist Elias Ramzi @EliasRamzi for winning the AFRIF 2024 PhD award for his thesis "Robust image retrieval with deep learning", conducted at CNAM. Well deserved recognition for amazing work! 🏆 🔗 afrif.irisa.fr/?page_id=54

Collegues in Europe are running this poll about #NeurIPS2025 participation. If in Europe, highly recommended to participate.

ILIAS is a large-scale dataset for evaluation on Instance-Level Image retrieval At Scale. It is designed to support research in image-to-image and text-to-image retrieval for particular objects and serves as a benchmark for evaluating foundation models and retrieval techniques

Self-supervised Learning with Masked Autoencoders (MAE) is known to produce worse image representations than Joint-Embedding approaches (e.g. DINO). In our new paper, we identify new reasons for why that is and point towards solutions: arxiv.org/abs/2412.03215 🧵
