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 the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and the SA-1B dataset of 1 billion masks on 11 million images. SAM is a promptable segmentation foundation model that generalizes to new image distributions and tasks without additional training, enabling a new paradigm of interactive segmentation.
