Transformers without Normalization

Jiachen Zhu, Xinlei Chen, Kaiming He +2

Normalization layers are ubiquitous in modern neural networks and have long been considered essential. This work demonstrates that Transformers without normalization can achieve th…

Scaling Proprioceptive-Visual Learning with Heterogeneous Pre-trained Transformers

Lirui Wang, Xinlei Chen, Jialiang Zhao +1

One of the roadblocks for training generalist robotic models today is heterogeneity. Previous robot learning methods often collect data to train with one specific embodiment for on…

Deconstructing Denoising Diffusion Models for Self-Supervised Learning

Xinlei Chen, Zhuang Liu, Saining Xie +1

In this study, we examine the representation learning abilities of Denoising Diffusion Models (DDM) that were originally purposed for image generation. Our philosophy is to deconst…

Scaling Language-Image Pre-training via Masking

Yanghao Li, Haoqi Fan, Ronghang Hu +2

We present Fast Language-Image Pre-training (FLIP), a simple and more efficient method for training CLIP. Our method randomly masks out and removes a large portion of image patches…

Masked Autoencoders As Spatiotemporal Learners

Christoph Feichtenhofer, Haoqi Fan, Yanghao Li +1

This paper studies a conceptually simple extension of Masked Autoencoders (MAE) to spatiotemporal representation learning from videos. We randomly mask out spacetime patches in vid…

Exploring Plain Vision Transformer Backbones for Object Detection

Yanghao Li, Hanzi Mao, Ross Girshick +1

We explore the plain, non-hierarchical Vision Transformer (ViT) as a backbone network for object detection. This design enables the original ViT architecture to be fine-tuned for o…

Masked Autoencoders Are Scalable Vision Learners

Kaiming He, Xinlei Chen, Saining Xie +3

This paper shows that masked autoencoders (MAE) are scalable self-supervised learners for computer vision. Our MAE approach is simple: we mask random patches of the input image and…

Benchmarking Detection Transfer Learning with Vision Transformers

Yanghao Li, Saining Xie, Xinlei Chen +3

Object detection is a central downstream task used to test if pre-trained network parameters confer benefits, such as improved accuracy or training speed. The complexity of object…

An Empirical Study of Training Self-Supervised Vision Transformers

Xinlei Chen, Saining Xie, Kaiming He

This paper does not describe a novel method. Instead, it studies a straightforward, incremental, yet must-know baseline given the recent progress in computer vision: self-supervise…
