ONEBench to Test Them All: Sample-Level Benchmarking Over Open-Ended Capabilities
Adhiraj Ghosh, Sebastian Dziadzio, Ameya Prabhu +3
Traditional fixed test sets fall short in evaluating open-ended capabilities of foundation models. To address this, we propose ONEBench(OpeN-Ended Benchmarking), a new testing para…
Active Data Curation Effectively Distills Large-Scale Multimodal Models
Vishaal Udandarao, Nikhil Parthasarathy, Muhammad Ferjad Naeem +6
Knowledge distillation (KD) is the de facto standard for compressing large-scale models into smaller ones. Prior works have explored ever more complex KD strategies involving diffe…
Centaur: a foundation model of human cognition
Marcel Binz, Elif Akata, Matthias Bethge +37
Establishing a unified theory of cognition has been a major goal of psychology. While there have been previous attempts to instantiate such theories by building computational model…
How to Merge Your Multimodal Models Over Time?
Sebastian Dziadzio, Vishaal Udandarao, Karsten Roth +4
Model merging combines multiple expert models - finetuned from a base foundation model on diverse tasks and domains - into a single, more capable model. However, most existing mode…
A Practitioner's Guide to Continual Multimodal Pretraining
Karsten Roth, Vishaal Udandarao, Sebastian Dziadzio +7
Multimodal foundation models serve numerous applications at the intersection of vision and language. Still, despite being pretrained on extensive data, they become outdated over ti…
Efficient Lifelong Model Evaluation in an Era of Rapid Progress
Ameya Prabhu, Vishaal Udandarao, Philip Torr +3
Standardized benchmarks drive progress in machine learning. However, with repeated testing, the risk of overfitting grows as algorithms over-exploit benchmark idiosyncrasies. In ou…
