1. Revisiting Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data in Deep Learning Era (2017 · 2,512 citations)
   Since AlexNet, vision models and GPU compute have grown rapidly, yet the largest labeled pre-training set in common use stayed at ImageNet's scale of about 1M images.
2. VideoBERT: A Joint Model for Video and Language Representation Learning (2019 · 1,345 citations)
   Most self-supervised video methods learn low-level cues such as textures or motion lasting under a second.
