SketchVLM: Vision language models can annotate images to explain thoughts and guide users
Brandon Collins, Logan Bolton, Hung Huy Nguyen +3
When answering questions about images, humans naturally point, label, and draw to explain their reasoning. In contrast, modern vision-language models (VLMs) such as Gemini-3-Pro an…
A Survey on Long-Video Storytelling Generation: Architectures, Consistency, and Cinematic Quality
Mohamed Elmoghany, Ryan Rossi, Seunghyun Yoon +26
Despite the significant progress that has been made in video generative models, existing state-of-the-art methods can only produce videos lasting 5-16 seconds, often labeled "long-…
Understanding Generative AI Capabilities in Everyday Image Editing Tasks
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Brandon Collins, Logan Bolton +4
Generative AI (GenAI) holds significant promise for automating everyday image editing tasks, especially following the recent release of GPT-4o on March 25, 2025. However, what subj…
B-score: Detecting biases in large language models using response history
An Vo, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Daeyoung Kim +1
Large language models (LLMs) often exhibit strong biases, e.g, against women or in favor of the number 7. We investigate whether LLMs would be able to output less biased answers wh…
Vision Language Models are Biased
An Vo, Khai-Nguyen Nguyen, Mohammad Reza Taesiri +3
Large language models (LLMs) memorize a vast amount of prior knowledge from the Internet that helps them on downstream tasks but also may notoriously sway their outputs towards wro…
VideoGameQA-Bench: Evaluating Vision-Language Models for Video Game Quality Assurance
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Abhijay Ghildyal, Saman Zadtootaghaj +2
With video games now generating the highest revenues in the entertainment industry, optimizing game development workflows has become essential for the sector's sustained growth. Re…
HoT: Highlighted Chain of Thought for Referencing Supporting Facts from Inputs
Tin Nguyen, Logan Bolton, Mohammad Reza Taesiri +2
An Achilles heel of Large Language Models (LLMs) is their tendency to hallucinate non-factual statements. A response mixed of factual and non-factual statements poses a challenge f…
ZeroBench: An Impossible Visual Benchmark for Contemporary Large Multimodal Models
Jonathan Roberts, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Ansh Sharma +31
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit shortfalls when interpreting images and, by some measures, have poorer spatial cognition than young children or animals. Despite this, they a…
VideoGameBunny: Towards vision assistants for video games
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Cor-Paul Bezemer
Large multimodal models (LMMs) hold substantial promise across various domains, from personal assistance in daily tasks to sophisticated applications like medical diagnostics. Howe…
Vision language models are blind: Failing to translate detailed visual features into words
Pooyan Rahmanzadehgervi, Logan Bolton, Mohammad Reza Taesiri +1
While large language models with vision capabilities (VLMs), e.g., GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro, score high on many vision-understanding benchmarks, they are still struggling with low…
Allowing humans to interactively guide machines where to look does not always improve human-AI team's classification accuracy
Giang Nguyen, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Sunnie S. Y. Kim +1
Via thousands of papers in Explainable AI (XAI), attention maps \cite{vaswani2017attention} and feature importance maps \cite{bansal2020sam} have been established as a common means…
GlitchBench: Can large multimodal models detect video game glitches?
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Tianjun Feng, Anh Nguyen +1
Large multimodal models (LMMs) have evolved from large language models (LLMs) to integrate multiple input modalities, such as visual inputs. This integration augments the capacity…
PCNN: Probable-Class Nearest-Neighbor Explanations Improve Fine-Grained Image Classification Accuracy for AIs and Humans
Giang, Nguyen, Valerie Chen +2
Nearest neighbors (NN) are traditionally used to compute final decisions, e.g., in Support Vector Machines or k-NN classifiers, and to provide users with explanations for the model…
ImageNet-Hard: The Hardest Images Remaining from a Study of the Power of Zoom and Spatial Biases in Image Classification
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Giang Nguyen, Sarra Habchi +2
Image classifiers are information-discarding machines, by design. Yet, how these models discard information remains mysterious. We hypothesize that one way for image classifiers to…
Large Language Models are Pretty Good Zero-Shot Video Game Bug Detectors
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Finlay Macklon, Yihe Wang +2
Video game testing requires game-specific knowledge as well as common sense reasoning about the events in the game. While AI-driven agents can satisfy the first requirement, it is…
Automatically Detecting Visual Bugs in HTML5 <canvas> Games
Finlay Macklon, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Markos Viggiato +4
The HTML5 <canvas> is used to display high quality graphics in web applications such as web games (i.e., <canvas> games). However, automatically testing <canvas> games is not possi…
Visual correspondence-based explanations improve AI robustness and human-AI team accuracy
Giang Nguyen, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Anh Nguyen
Explaining artificial intelligence (AI) predictions is increasingly important and even imperative in many high-stakes applications where humans are the ultimate decision-makers. In…
CLIP meets GamePhysics: Towards bug identification in gameplay videos using zero-shot transfer learning
Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Finlay Macklon, Cor-Paul Bezemer
Gameplay videos contain rich information about how players interact with the game and how the game responds. Sharing gameplay videos on social media platforms, such as Reddit, has…
Under the Skin of Foundation NFT Auctions
MohammadAmin Fazli, Ali Owfi, Mohammad Reza Taesiri
