This paper explores improvements to the masked image modeling (MIM) paradigm. The MIM paradigm enables the model to learn the main object features of the image by masking the input image and predicting the masked part by the unmasked part.…
Discriminative self-supervised learning allows training models on any random group of internet images, and possibly recover salient information that helps differentiate between the images. Applied to ImageNet, this leads to object centric…
Image interpolation is a special case of image super-resolution, where the low-resolution image is directly down-sampled from its high-resolution counterpart without blurring and noise. Therefore, assumptions adopted in super-resolution…
