  In this work we propose a technique that transfers supervision between images
from different modalities. We use learned representations from a large labeled
modality as a supervisory signal for training representations for a new
unlabeled paired modality. Our method enables learning of rich representations
for unlabeled modalities and can be used as a pre-training procedure for new
modalities with limited labeled data. We show experimental results where we
transfer supervision from labeled RGB images to unlabeled depth and optical
flow images and demonstrate large improvements for both these cross modal
supervision transfers. Code, data and pre-trained models are available at
