Watch or Listen on YouTube Next Embedding Prediction (NEPA): Introduction A lot of self-supervised vision feels like an elaborate workaround. Two crops, three heads, four losses, and a decoder you throw away the moment you start fine-tuning. This paper tries something refreshingly blunt. It asks: what if we just did prediction, the way language models … Read more
