  • Dvsn and Ty Dolla Ign Launch New Project With
    DVSN & TY DOLLA $IGN ANNOUNCE COLLAB ALBUM ON OVO SOUND WITH NEW SONG "I BELIEVED IT" FEAT. MAC MILLER OUT NOW LISTEN HERE DOWNLOAD ARTWORK HERE July 1, 2021 (Toronto, ON) – Today, critically lauded R&B duo dvsn and multiple GRAMMY Award- nominated hitmaker Ty Dolla $ign share their emotional single called “I Believed It.” The brand new song features a stunning appearance from the late, great Mac Miller. Listen HERE. “I Believed It” finds dvsn—the duo of singer Daniel Daley and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Nineteen85—creating a perfect landscape for Ty’s sticky, memorable vocals. Miller’s contribution is equally thrilling and heartbreaking; a captivating performance and a consistent reminder of his supreme talent. dvsn and Ty both teased the behind-the-scenes process featuring moments with Mac Miller. Watch HERE. This isn’t the first time the two parties have linked up. The single follows an exciting era for dvsn, who released their third album, A Muse in Her Feelings, in April 2020. Ty appeared on that album among an all-star cast of collaborators that included Future, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Popcaan, Buju Banton, Summer Walker, and more. The album was loved by fans by critics alike—praised as one of the best of 2020 by Complex, UPROXX, Noisey, and others. In January 2021, dvsn built on that momentum, releasing Amusing Her Feelings on OVO Sound, a sultry expanded version of their 2020 record. That project featured a new single titled “He Said” featuring Miguel and a rousing rendition of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.” Ty Dolla $ign is coming off his critically acclaimed album, Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, released in October 2020, the title of which is a nod to his status as one of the industry’s most beloved & prolific collaborators.

Imitation of human behavior (and modalities) deep network requires a viewpoint-invariant representation that captures the relationships between end-effectors (hands or robot grippers) and the environment, object attributes, and body pose. We train View our representations using a metric learning loss, where multiple 1 simultaneous viewpoints of the same observation are attracted in the embedding space, while being repelled from temporal neighbors which are often visually similar but functionally different. In other words, the model simultaneously learns to recognize what is common between different-looking images, View and what is different between similar-looking images. This 2 signal causes our model to discover attributes that do not change across viewpoint, but do change across time, while ignoring nuisance variables such as occlusions, motion blur, lighting and background. We demonstrate that this represen- t negative Time tation can be used by a robot to directly mimic human poses Fig. 1: Time-Contrastive Networks (TCN): Anchor and positive without an explicit correspondence, and that it can be used as images taken from simultaneous viewpoints are encouraged to be a reward function within a reinforcement learning algorithm.
