Masked autoencoder
A masked autoencoder (MAE) is a self-supervised pretraining method for neural networks that masks about 75% of an image's patches and reconstructs the missing pixels from the visible ones.
Masked generative modeling
Masked generative modeling is a method for generating images and video in which a bidirectional transformer iteratively predicts masked tokens in parallel, introduced with Google Research's MaskGIT in 2022.
Masked generative models
A masked generative model generates data by iteratively predicting randomly masked tokens of a sequence, as in MaskGIT for images, Muse for text-to-image, and MAGVIT for video.
Masked image modeling
Masked image modeling (MIM) is a self-supervised pre-training technique for computer vision where a model, usually an autoencoder, predicts masked patches of an image from visible ones.
Masked language model
A masked language model (MLM) is a neural network trained to predict words hidden from its input using both left and right context, the self-supervised method behind BERT and RoBERTa.
Masking tape
Masking tape, also known as painter's tape, is a pressure-sensitive paper-backed tape that sticks during painting and removes cleanly, invented by Richard Drew at 3M in 1925.
Maskless lithography
Maskless lithography is a microfabrication technique that patterns photoresist directly with digitally controlled light or electron beams, removing mask costs and design-change delays in semiconductor and microdevice fabrication.
Masmovil
Masmovil (styled MásMóvil, legally MásMóvil Ibercom) was a Spanish mobile, broadband, and television operator backed by Cinven, KKR, and Providence, combined with Orange Spain in 2024 to form MasOrange.

Mass concrete
Mass concrete is any concrete volume where heat of hydration cannot dissipate quickly, raising temperature enough to risk cracking; the ACI sets no size threshold.
Mass driver
A mass driver is an electromagnetic launcher for payloads, proposed by physicist Gerard K. O'Neill in 1974 and studied as a way to launch cargo from the Moon.
Mass Group Holding
Mass Group Holding (مجموعة ماس القابضة) is a private Jordanian industrial group, founded in 2006 by Ahmed Ismail Saleh, that builds power stations in Iraq.
Mass production
Mass production, also called flow production, is the manufacture of goods in high volume using specialization, division of labor, and standardization of parts to cut unit costs.
Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), also known as the Singapore metro, is the city-state's urban rail system, opened in 1987 and carrying over three million passengers daily.
Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan in Bangkok Metropolitan Region
The Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan in Bangkok Metropolitan Region, known as M-MAP2, is Bangkok's second long-term rail master plan, drafted by Thailand's Department of Rail Transport with JICA.
Mass surveillance
Mass surveillance: suspicionless collection, analysis, or generation of data on indefinite or large numbers of people, via bulk interception, data retention, facial recognition, and camera networks; distinct from targeted, authorized surveillance of specific suspects.
Mass-impregnated cable
A mass-impregnated (MI) cable is a high-voltage power cable insulated with paper tape impregnated with a viscous oil-like compound, used almost exclusively for HVDC submarine transmission since the 1950s.
