This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, cats, AIs, or actual events is purely coincidental.

When I joined Stanford's Compression and Classification Group in 1999, it became quickly evident to me that research in signal compression was really at an impasse: it was clear at the time that one would have to move towards more semantic interpretations of images and videos to make any significant gains in bandwidth, and in spite of standards already moving towards enabling these 'higher-level' coding methods, nobody really knew how to go about them.
Fast forward to today, I'm very excited to see deep nets make a significant dent into the problem, while enabling seamless, practical variable-rate coding, bit-per-bit progressive decoding, and with huge gains over JPEG to boot.

Today, we're releasing two large datasets for robotics research:

Grasping: A collection of 650k grasp attempts, data used in: http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.02199

Push: A collection of 59k examples of pushing motions, data used in: http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07157

Both datasets contain RGB-D views of the arm, gripper and objects, along with actuation and position parameters. They were collected in a controlled environment using a wide collection of everyday objects, some of which were held out for evaluation. Enjoy!
