Temporal Self-Distillation: Learning Visual State Tracking in Videos Without Supervision

Shravan Venkatraman, Wenshuai Zhao, Mohammad Hassan Vali +1

We introduce ST (Self-Supervised Self-Distillation over Time), which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first fully self-contained framework for continuous video state track…

AV-JEPA: Extending LeJEPA to Audio-Visual Self-Supervised Learning

Benjamin Robson, Santeri Mentu, Wenshuai Zhao +1

We present AV-JEPA, an elegant multimodal extension of LeJEPA to audio-visual self-supervised learning. Using an early-fusion Vision Transformer and modality dropout as masking, th…

Rethinking Temporal Consistency in Video Object-Centric Learning: From Prediction to Correspondence

Zhiyuan Li, Rongzhen Zhao, Wenyan Yang +3

The de facto approach in video object-centric learning maintains temporal consistency through learned dynamics modules that predict future object representations, called slots. We…

Bridging the Embodiment Gap: Disentangled Cross-Embodiment Video Editing

Zhiyuan Li, Wenyan Yang, Wenshuai Zhao +4

Learning robotic manipulation from human videos is a promising solution to the data bottleneck in robotics, but the distribution shift between humans and robots remains a critical…

PAWS: Perception of Articulation in the Wild at Scale from Egocentric Videos

Yihao Wang, Yang Miao, Wenshuai Zhao +8

Articulation perception aims to recover the motion and structure of articulated objects (e.g., drawers and cupboards), and is fundamental to 3D scene understanding in robotics, sim…
