Nice write-up by @NYUDataScience about our recent SSL paper! 🚀🤖
We propose Rectified Distribution Matching Regularization (RDMReg) for JEPAs: a theoretically-grounded sparsification method that yields a sota sparsity–performance trade-off!

Is RL over? 🤔 Not for Pokémon!
We find that RL-based methods generally outperform LLM approaches.
For more details, check out our work! We also establish Pokémon as an ongoing benchmark for AI agents so you can test your model 🤖
