The Beyond A* paper is fascinating. In it they use algorithmic techniques (A*) to solve a problem to produce a large dataset of training data to use to train a neural network to reach the same level of performance as the algorithm… 1/2 arxiv.org/abs/2402.14083

🤔 Can you turn your vision-language model from a great zero-shot model into a great-at-any-shot generalist? Turns out you can, and here is how: arxiv.org/abs/2411.15099 Really excited to this work on multimodal pretraining for my first bluesky entry! 🧵 A short and hopefully informative thread:

For my first post on Bluesky, this recent talk I did at the recent BMVA one day meeting on World Models is a good summary of my work on Computer Vision, Robotics and SLAM, and my thoughts on a bigger picture of #SpatialAI. youtu.be/NLnPG95vNhQ?...

Frustrating, yet incredibly exciting. The amount of progress in manipulation is fantastic. I wonder if they had any ripped shirts or things flying off the tables (probably). Source of the video: www.physicalintelligence.company/blog/pi0

That's an interesting idea! I think it falls under the umbrella of robotics for #climate #change: precision agriculture, recuperation of rare earths from tailing mounds, maintenance of clean energy infrastructure... Good to see people looking into this!

There are now several benchmarks testing spatial reasoning and agent capabilities of LLMs and VLMs: - arxiv.org/abs/2410.06468 (does spatial cognition ...) - arxiv.org/abs/2307.06281 (MMBench) - arxiv.org/abs/2411.13543 (BALROG) - additional points for the LOTR ref.
