In this thread, I have documented the violence against Muslims in India after 1950. Since there is a lot of whataboutery on the violence during the partition, I have collected the data AFTER the partition and the implementation of the Indian constitution.

One of the reasons behind this was the jealousy around the huge and famous lock industry in Aligarh where Muslims were doing fairly well.

Muradabad is a major industrial hub too.
The systemic targetting of the cities where Muslims had a stronghold in the business is noteworthy.

The brutality against Muslims is not something new in India. In this thread, I am documenting the large scale, targeted and repeated Anti-Muslim pogroms in the Secular Democracy of India after 1986, inspired by the ideology of fascist RSS.

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?
Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!
Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z
🧵👇(1 / 12)
Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.
Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)
The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).
The secret is *balance* (3/12)
Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:
1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.
2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)
By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.
Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)
