Improving the Physics of Video Generation with VJEPA-2 Reward Signal
Jianhao Yuan, Xiaofeng Zhang, Felix Friedrich +7
This is a short technical report describing the winning entry of the PhysicsIQ Challenge, presented at the Perception Test Workshop at ICCV 2025. State-of-the-art video generative…
Gaussian Embeddings: How JEPAs Secretly Learn Your Data Density
Randall Balestriero, Nicolas Ballas, Mike Rabbat +1
Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) learn representations able to solve numerous downstream tasks out-of-the-box. JEPAs combine two objectives: (i) a latent-space pred…
Metacognitive Reuse: Turning Recurring LLM Reasoning Into Concise Behaviors
Aniket Didolkar, Nicolas Ballas, Sanjeev Arora +1
Large language models (LLMs) now solve multi-step problems by emitting extended chains of thought. During the process, they often re-derive the same intermediate steps across probl…
A Shortcut-aware Video-QA Benchmark for Physical Understanding via Minimal Video Pairs
Benno Krojer, Mojtaba Komeili, Candace Ross +4
Existing benchmarks for assessing the spatio-temporal understanding and reasoning abilities of video language models are susceptible to score inflation due to the presence of short…
V-JEPA 2: Self-Supervised Video Models Enable Understanding, Prediction and Planning
Mido Assran, Adrien Bardes, David Fan +27
A major challenge for modern AI is to learn to understand the world and learn to act largely by observation. This paper explores a self-supervised approach that combines internet-s…
Locate 3D: Real-World Object Localization via Self-Supervised Learning in 3D
Sergio Arnaud, Paul McVay, Ada Martin +19
We present LOCATE 3D, a model for localizing objects in 3D scenes from referring expressions like "the small coffee table between the sofa and the lamp." LOCATE 3D sets a new state…
Scaling Language-Free Visual Representation Learning
David Fan, Shengbang Tong, Jiachen Zhu +8
Visual Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) currently underperforms Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) in multimodal settings such as Visual Question Answering (VQA). This mul…
Intuitive physics understanding emerges from self-supervised pretraining on natural videos
Quentin Garrido, Nicolas Ballas, Mahmoud Assran +5
We investigate the emergence of intuitive physics understanding in general-purpose deep neural network models trained to predict masked regions in natural videos. Leveraging the vi…
