On the occasion of the 1000th citation of our Sinkhorn-Knopp self-supervised representation learning paper, I've written a whole post about the history and the key bits of this method that powers the state-of-the-art SSL vision models.

Today, we release Franca, a new vision Foundation Model that matches and often outperforms DINOv2.
The data, the training code and the model weights are open-source.
This is the result of a close and fun collaboration

1/ Can open-data models beat DINOv2? Today we release Franca, a fully open-sourced vision foundation model. Franca with ViT-G backbone matches (and often beats) proprietary models like SigLIPv2, CLIP, DINOv2 on various benchmarks setting a new standard for open-source research.

Agreed, very interesting! Future engines that run on information? 🤯

Our Lab is now also on bsky! 🥳
Hello world!
We're the Fundamental AI Lab, lead by @yukimasano.bsky.social at the UTN in Nuremberg.
We research computer vision, multimodal learning and adapting Foundation Models! Follow us :)

Today we had a joint workshop between our FunAI Lab, UTN and AIST Japan. 13 talks, 1 cake and lots of Bavarian food really get research discussions going!
Towards more collaborations in AI between 🇩🇪 & 🇯🇵.

Nice 👏! We love small (M)LLMs :) will training code also be released?
Releasing SmolVLM, a small 2 billion parameters Vision+Language Model (VLM) built for on-device/in-browser inference with images/videos.
Outperforms all models at similar GPU RAM usage and tokens throughputs

LoRA et al. enable personalised model generation and serving, which is crucial as finetuned models still outperform general ones in many tasks. However, serving a base model with many LoRAs is very inefficient! Now, there's a better way: enter Prompt Generation Networks, presented today #BMVC
