DescriptionIntroduced the Vision Transformer (ViT), demonstrating that a pure transformer applied directly to sequences of image patches achieves state-of-the-art performance on image classification when pretrained on large datasets. The paper challenged the dominance of convolutional neural networks in computer vision.Introduced CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training), a model trained on 400 million image-text pairs using contrastive learning that achieves remarkable zero-shot transfer to diverse vision tasks. CLIP became foundational for vision-language alignment and generative AI pipelines.
