Our work Midway Network has been accepted to #ICLR2026!
Animals learn to recognize objects and how they move just from observing the world. SSL on natural videos emulates “learning by observing” but only tackles recognition or motion, not both!
To address this gap, Midway Network is the first SSL architecture to learn both object recognition and motion understanding from natural videos via latent dynamics🧵
Really cool work from @mengyer et al — PooDLe tackles one of the core challenges in video SSL: learning from dense, cluttered, and egocentric naturalistic footage. Excited to see pooled + dense objectives working together!
How can we leverage naturalistic videos for visual SSL? Naturalistic, i.e. uncurated, videos are abundant and can emulate the egocentric perspective.
Our paper at ICLR 2025, PooDLe🐩, proposes a new SSL method to address the challenges of learning from naturalistic videos. 🧵
