LeVJEPA proposes a method to significantly simplify video self-supervised learning, achieving performance equal to or better than traditional methods with 5-20x less compute.
- Problem Solved: Addresses high compute costs and the need for complex mechanisms like EMA and stop-gradients in traditional methods.
- Mechanism: Extracts 16-frame clips with global and local views. Uses a single encoder where a CLS token aggregates global information (non-causal), while patch tokens attend only to current and past tokens (causal).
- Objective: Minimizes MSE between latent representations of global and local views.
The paper argues that video pre-training could become the standard for learning visual foundation models.
