Awesome Masked Autoencoders

Fig. 1. Masked Autoencoders from Kaiming He et al.

Masked Autoencoder (MAE, Kaiming He et al.) has renewed a surge of interest due to its capacity to learn useful representations from rich unlabeled data. Until recently, MAE and its follow-up works have advanced the state-of-the-art and provided valuable insights in research (particularly vision research). Here I list several follow-up works after or concurrent with MAE to inspire future research.
