Neural Information Processing Systems

Humans are remarkably flexible in understanding viewpoint changes due to visual cortex supporting the perception of 3D structure. In contrast, most of the computer vision models that learn visual representation from a pool of 2D images often fail to generalize over novel camera viewpoints. Recently, the vision architectures have shifted towards convolution-free architectures, visual Transformers, which operate on tokens derived from image patches. However, these Transformers do not perform explicit operations to learn viewpoint-agnostic representation for visual understanding. To this end, we propose a 3DToken Representation Layer (3DTRL) that estimates the 3D positional information of the visual tokens and leverages it for learning viewpoint-agnostic representations.


OpenAI's GPT-5.5 is faster, smarter, and a step toward its 'super app'

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that OpenAI has launched GPT-5.5, its most advanced AI model, exclusively for paying ChatGPT subscribers on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. The new model delivers faster, more efficient performance in coding, research, and math while outperforming competitors like Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7. GPT-5.5 represents a significant step toward OpenAI's'super app' vision, integrating various AI services into one comprehensive platform. OpenAI recently launched GPT-5.5, which the company describes as its most advanced and intuitive AI model to date. The new model is said to be both faster and more efficient, with specific improvements in areas including coding, research, and math. At the same time, it's said to perform better compared to competing models like Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7. According to OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, GPT-5.5 is also a step towards the company's vision of a future "super app," where services such as ChatGPT, Codex, and an AI-driven web browser are integrated into a single platform, reports TechCrunch . GPT-5.5 is currently rolling out to paying ChatGPT users, which includes those on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.

OpenAI breaks out of exclusivity agreements in its partnership with Microsoft

Engadget

The two companies announced an amended partnership that lets OpenAI use other cloud platforms and offer its models to other companies. OpenAI is opening up its partnership with Microsoft in the latest amendment to the major multi-year collaboration between the tech giants. The latest changes allow OpenAI to offer its latest AI models to other companies and through other cloud providers, stripping Microsoft of its exclusivity rights. In a joint announcement posted on OpenAI and Microsoft's websites, Microsoft will still be OpenAI's primary cloud partner with the latest products shipping first on Azure, but OpenAI is now allowed to use any cloud provider. Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, posted on X that the company is now able to make our products and services available across all clouds.


Active Learning of Classifiers with Label and Seed Queries

Neural Information Processing Systems

We study exact active learning of binary and multiclass classifiers with margin. Given an n-point set X Rm, we want to learn an unknown classifier on X whose classes have finite strong convex hull margin, a new notion extending the SVM margin.


Appendix

Neural Information Processing Systems

We provide concrete rules below for the two competition tracks that comprise DATACOMP: filtering and BYOD . Additionally, we provide a checklist, which encourages participants to specify design decisions, which allows for more granular comparison between submissions. A.1 Filtering track rules Participants can enter submissions for one or many different scales: small, medium, large or xlarge, which represent the raw number of image-text pairs in CommonPool that should be filtered. After choosing a scale, participants generate a list of uids, where each uid refers to a COMMONPOOL sample. The list of uids is used to recover image-text pairs from the pool, which is used for downstream CLIP training.
