A Bitter Lesson for Data Filtering
We investigate data filtering for large model pretraining via new scaling studies that target the high compute, data-scarce regime. In spite of an apparently common belief that filtering data to include only high-quality information is essential, our experiments suggest that with enough compute, the best data filter is no data filter. We find that sufficiently trained large parameter models not only tolerate low-quality and distractor data, but in fact benefit from nominally ``poor'' data.

Pan-Cancer mitotic figures detection and domain generalization: MIDOG 2025 Challenge
This report details our submission to the Mitotic Domain Generalization (MIDOG) 2025 challenge, which addresses the critical task of mitotic figure detection in histopathology for cancer prognostication. Following the "B…
Domain GeneralizationLearning the Bitter Lesson: Empirical Evidence from 20 Years of CVPR Proceedings
This study examines the alignment of \emph{Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition} (CVPR) research with the principles of the "bitter lesson" proposed by Rich Sutton. We analyze two decades of CVPR abstrac…
Simple Supervision Is Hard to Beat: A Bitter Lesson from Sparse Target Labels in Domain-Adaptive Object Detection
Source-free domain adaptive object detection adapts a source-trained detector to an unlabeled target domain, typically through teacher-student self-training with pseudo-labels. We revisit this setting when a small, unifo…

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is an established field of research. Yet Melanie Mitchell and others have questioned if the term still has meaning. AGI has been subject to so much hype and speculation it has become…
The Bitter Lesson of Diffusion Language Models for Agentic Workflows: A Comprehensive Reality Check
The pursuit of real-time agentic interaction has driven interest in Diffusion-based Large Language Models (dLLMs) as alternatives to auto-regressive backbones, promising to break the sequential latency bottleneck. Howeve…
