Introducing MASt3R-SLAM, the first real-time monocular dense SLAM with MASt3R as a foundation.

Easy to use like DUSt3R/MASt3R, from an uncalibrated RGB video it recovers accurate, globally consistent poses & a dense map.

Have you ever wondered how to train an autoregressive generative transformer on text and raw pixels, without a pretrained visual tokenizer (e.g. VQ-VAE)?

We have been pondering this during summer and developed a new model: JetFormer 🌊🤖

This study shows that spike sequences carry information beyond what rates and latency to first spike do:

My reactions:

1) Cool to see this in humans.
2) Are people still surprised that spike times carry information beyond rates/first-spike latency?!?!?!

Neuronal sequences in population bursts encode information in human cortex - Nature
The temporal order of neuronal firing within bursts of population spiking in the human anterior temporal lobe is dependent on the category as well as the identity of the individual stimulus, and this ...
