Rather, they leverage either encoder-decoder pairs or first-order motion ... “CAT” for it. How do we know that a given object is a cat? Well, we have seen many cats. Thus we identify them.

It's the form of encoding that allows computers to run. Binary uses two states (represented by the digits 0 and 1) to encode information. This article discusses binary data encoding. You can find a ...

(A blog post announcing the code release has further details about the work.) Artetxe and Schwenk are carrying on the tradition of encoder-decoder work that's been going on for years now.
