Segment Anything

Alexander Kirillov, Eric Mintun and Nikhila Ravi

This paper introduces the Segment Anything project: a promptable image segmentation task, the Segment Anything Model (SAM), and the SA-1B dataset. SAM combines an image encoder, a flexible prompt encoder (points, boxes, masks, text), and a fast mask decoder to produce valid segmentation masks from arbitrary prompts. Trained on over 1 billion masks across 11 million images, SAM shows strong zero-shot transfer to many segmentation tasks without additional training.

Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners

Alec Radford, Jeffrey Wu, Rewon Child, David Luan, Dario Amodei and Ilya Sutskever

This paper introduces GPT-2, a 1.5-billion-parameter Transformer language model trained on a large web-text corpus (WebText) with a simple next-token prediction objective. It demonstrates that a sufficiently large language model can perform many NLP tasks in a zero-shot setting, without task-specific training data or fine-tuning. The work argued that unsupervised language modeling at scale implicitly learns to perform downstream tasks from naturally occurring demonstrations.
