What is the function of function words ⁉️Using head-mounted eye-tracking and machine learning, we show how tiny words like THIS and THAT actively power word learning 👶🤖. Check our preprint, we’d love to hear your feedback!!!
Children exhibit visual understanding from limited experience, orders of magnitude less than our best models.
We introduce the Zero-shot World Model (ZWM). Trained on a single child's visual experience, BabyZWM rapidly generates competence across diverse benchmarks with no task-specific training. 🧵
We had a lot of fun building this truly interdisciplinary, cross-continent project, co-led with the amazing @yayun23.bsky.social and Paula Rubio-Fernández :).
