Dynamic Cluster Data Sampling for Efficient and Long-Tail-Aware Vision-Language Pre-training

Mingliang Liang, Zhuoran Liu, Arjen P. de Vries +1

The computational cost of training a vision-language model (VLM) can be reduced by sampling the training data. Previous work on efficient VLM pre-training has pointed to the import…

Image Shortcut Squeezing: Countering Perturbative Availability Poisons with Compression

Zhuoran Liu, Zhengyu Zhao, Martha Larson

Perturbative availability poisons (PAPs) add small changes to images to prevent their use for model training. Current research adopts the belief that practical and effective approa…
