This paper presents a new approach to self-supervised vision representation learning using masked autoencoders (MAE). The authors propose Collaborative Masking and Targets for boosting Masked AutoEncoders, or CMT-MAE, which integrates the feedback from both the teacher and student models. Specifically, the framework uses linear aggregation across attentions from both models to create a collaborative masking mechanism. Additionally, it proposes using output features from these two models as the target of the decoder. The authors demonstrate that their approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on ImageNet-1K, with fine-tuning results improving by 2.1 percentage points.

This paper makes a breakthrough in self-supervised vision representation learning. It introduces a new way to train masked autoencoders (MAE) called CMT-MAE. This approach works by combining the strengths of both teacher and student models to create better masks and targets. The result is a more powerful MAE that can learn to recognize images even without labels. The authors tested their method on ImageNet-1K and found it performed better than other approaches.
