JSC Researchers Receive Outstanding Paper Award at NeurIPS 2022
The Helmholtz Research Field Information congratulates: Mehdi Cherti and Jenia Jitsev from JSC received an Outstanding Paper Award at NeurIPS 2022, one of the leading international conferences for machine learning and artificial intelligence (Source: Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) – News flashes)
Current language-vision models have risen above traditional approaches and overcome numerous limitations. This is mostly thanks to training methods based on large-scale datasets from online sources. Unfortunately, research is mainly conducted by industry labs and datasets have remained private — until now. This award-winning work provides open datasets from public internet resources that can be used to train state-of-the-art language-vision models and that are accessible to all research labs around the world.
The work was performed by JSC and LAION e.V., a Hamburg-based non-profit organization strongly committed to open source and open science that is co-led and was co-founded by Jitsev and Cherti. Toolsets for dataset composition and pre-trained openCLIP models are also open-sourced as a result of this work.
