| Challenge: | Existing approaches to masked prediction have shown that deciding what to mask can substantially improve learning outcomes. |
| Approach: | They propose a masking strategy that automatically chooses what to mask during continued pretraining by considering what makes a task domain different from the pretraining domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed masking strategy outperforms baselines on language-only and multimodal video tasks. |
