A unified model for vision-language generation tasks

People learn directly and indirectly, accumulating commonsense knowledge to draw on. For machines, it’s more challenging. To better mimic human scene/language learning, researchers have developed VLP, a unified model leveraging vision-language pre-training https://t.co/SGPVsQKTN6

Robots with dexterous hands solving Rubik’s Cube 60% of the time (20% in case of a particularly hard scramble) using reinforcement learning and Kociemba’s algorithm for choosing the steps

We’re all used to robots that fail when their environment changes unpredictably. Our robotic system is adaptable enough to handle unexpected situations not seen during training, such as being prodded by a stuffed giraffe: pic.twitter.com/wBoh1nt9Kv
