Multimodal and reasoning LLMs supersize training data for dexterous robotic tasks

For robots, simulation is a great teacher for learning long-horizon (multi-step) tasks—especially compared to how long it takes to collect real-world training data.

When can transformers reason with abstract symbols?

We investigate the capabilities of transformer models on relational reasoning tasks. In these tasks, models are trained on a set of strings encoding abstract relations, and are then tested out-of-distribution on data that contains symbols that did not appear in the training dataset. We prove that for any relational reasoning…

Exploring Prediction Targets in Masked Pre-Training for Speech Foundation Models

Speech foundation models, such as HuBERT and its variants, are pre-trained on large amounts of unlabeled speech data and then used for a range of downstream tasks. These models use a masked prediction objective, where the model learns to predict information about masked input segments from the unmasked context. The…
