OVRL-V2: A simple state-of-art baseline for ImageNav and ObjectNav
We present a single neural network architecture composed of task-agnostic components (ViTs, convolutions, and LSTMs) that achieves state-of-art results on both the ImageNav ("go to location in <this picture>") and ObjectNav ("find a chair") tasks without any task-specific modules like object detection, segmentation, mapping, or planning modules.
AV-data2vec: Self-supervised Learning of Audio-Visual Speech Representations with Contextualized Target Representations
Self-supervision has shown great potential for audio-visual speech recognition by vastly reducing the amount of labeled data required to build good systems.

Masked Autoencoders that Listen
Following the Transformer encoder-decoder design in MAE, our Audio-MAE first encodes audio spectrogram patches with a high masking ratio, feeding only the non-masked tokens through encoder layers.

Wav2Vec-Aug: Improved self-supervised training with limited data
Self-supervised learning (SSL) of speech representations has received much attention over the last few years but most work has focused on languages and domains with an abundance of unlabeled data.
Offline Visual Representation Learning for Embodied Navigation
In this paper, we show that an alternative 2-stage strategy is far more effective: (1) offline pretraining of visual representations with self-supervised learning (SSL) using large-scale pre-rendered images of indoor environments (Omnidata), and (2) online finetuning of visuomotor representations on specific tasks with image augmentations under long learning schedules.
On-demand compute reduction with stochastic wav2vec 2.0
Our results for models pre-trained on 960h Librispeech dataset and fine-tuned on 10h of transcribed data show that using the same stochastic model, we get a smooth trade-off between word error rate (WER) and inference time with only marginal WER degradation compared to the W2V2 and SEW models trained for a specific setting.

data2vec: A General Framework for Self-supervised Learning in Speech, Vision and Language
While the general idea of self-supervised learning is identical across modalities, the actual algorithms and objectives differ widely because they were developed with a single modality in mind.
