Meta Releases WebSSL Models: A New Exploration in Language-Free Visual Learning
In the field of artificial intelligence, Meta recently introduced the WebSSL family of models. These models, ranging in size from 300 million to 7 billion parameters, are trained on purely image data and aim to explore the vast potential of language-free visual self-supervised learning (SSL). This new research opens up new possibilities for future multimodal tasks and offers a fresh perspective on understanding how visual representations are learned. Previously, OpenAI's CLIP model was known for its performance in multimodal tasks such as visual question answering (VQA) and document understanding.
