We propose contrastive coding to learn shared, dense image representations, referredtoasCoMIRs (ContrastiveMultimodal ImageRepresentations).

Semantic segmentation has witnessed tremendous progress due to the proposal of various advanced network architectures.

Sam Altman's Orb Was Built for the Bot Era. Welcome back to, TIME's twice-weekly newsletter about AI. If you're reading this in your browser, why not subscribe to have the next one delivered straight to your inbox? What to Know: Is Sam Altman's Orb missing its moment? When Moltbook, a social network for AI agents, went viral earlier this month, it should have been a vindication moment for Tools for Humanity -- the startup co-founded by Sam Altman, whose eyeball-scanning "Orb" was designed to solve exactly this kind of problem. Instead, it may have exposed the product's limitations.

We prove a Chernoff-type bound for sums of matrix-valued random variables sampled viaaregular (aperiodic and irreducible) finite Markovchain.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) represent a promising approach to developing artificial neural networks that are both energy-efficient and biologically plausible.
