Babies learn to perceive the world and develop object and motion recognition in the early stages of life. Can a network bootstrap this understanding just by watching video? Check out the new blog post featuring our latest research on the Midway Network.

Excited to share our new research on local RL without backprop!

Lab gathering at #NeurIPS2025. Proud of this year’s work and excited about the ideas we’re building toward next!

Midway networks are cool: representation learning of motion and reconstruction jointly. I see similar motivation in V-JEPA 2 "AC", but I really like the execution here: - hierarchical, - backwards features with cross-attention. arxiv.org/abs/2510.05558 C. Hoang, @mengyer.bsky.social NYU

New research by CDS MS student Amelia (Hui) Dai, PhD student Ryan Teehan, and Asst. Prof. Mengye Ren (@mengyer.bsky.social) shows that models’ accuracy on current events drops 20% over time—even when given the source articles. Presented at #NeurIPS2024. nyudatascience.medium.com/language-mod...
