✨New Preprint ✨ Ever thought that reconstructing masked pixels for image representation learning seems sub-optimal?
In our new preprint, we show how masking principal components—rather than raw pixel patches— improves Masked Image Modelling (MIM).

Anthropic gave me $30,000 in Claude credits to research my own tumor I wrote what I built since March. I’m looking for someone who can manufacture a personalized vaccine, and a hospital that can give it

Continuous Diffusion LMs went from niche to contender this year, but the recipe is shaky: why self-conditioning? How to embed tokens? 🤨
Our new work takes your one-hot flow from 4% to 50% on TinyGSM without self-conditioning, and explores the design space of CDLMs. 🔥🚀 (1/6)

Say hi to PUMBA! 🐗
Masked diffusion language models are trained one way and sampled another.
Our new paper studies how to make MDM training more aware of the trajectories followed at inference, and how this can lead to more efficient text generation.

In a multimodal context, even the discrete/continuous divide is a distraction.
The real challenge is bridging the semantic gap between inherently high-level language tokens, and the very low-level representations we tend to use for perceptual signals.
(I couldn't resist😆)

🎨Activation steering can reliably push a text-to-image generator toward a visual concept, but at a cost: each concept needs its own estimation.
⚡HyperTransport (HT) predicts the intervention directly, matching per-concept SOTA at 3–4 orders of magnitude less cost.

I am heading to @icmlconf to present our position paper with @randall_balestr @klindt_david @wielandbr on what we believe are the important next steps to advance SSL.
It's not either theory or practice, it's both. We as a community need a better discussion.
