This AI Paper Proposes FACTORCL: A New Multimodal Representation Learning Method to Go Beyond Multi-View Redundancy
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University have proposed a new method called FACTORIZED CONTRASTIVE LEARNING (FACTORCL) to learn multimodal representations beyond multi-view redundancy. FACTORCL explicitly factorizes shared and unique information and maximizes lower bounds on mutual information to capture task-relevant information. It achieves state-of-the-art performance in various sentiment, emotion, and…

Synthetic imagery sets new bar in AI training efficiency
MIT researchers have developed StableRep, a system that uses synthetic images to train machine learning models, surpassing the results obtained from traditional “real-image” training methods. By using a strategy called “multi-positive contrastive learning,” StableRep considers multiple images generated from the same text prompt as positive pairs, enhancing the model’s understanding of high-level concepts. The approach…
