Good Memory Has ECC: Evaluating the Memory of Vision-Language Models Beyond Accuracy

Shmuel Berman, Jia Deng

Memory is widely viewed as an important unsolved problem for LLMs and VLMs, and current benchmarks typically evaluate it by testing accuracy over long text or video. However, accur…

q0: Primitives for Hyper-Epoch Pretraining

Bishwas Mandal, Shmuel Berman, Akshay Vegesna +1

Multi-epoch training is becoming the standard now that compute is growing faster than the supply of high-quality text. But pretraining a single model saturates within a few passes,…

VLMs have Tunnel Vision: Evaluating Nonlocal Visual Reasoning in Leading VLMs

Shmuel Berman, Jia Deng

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at complex visual tasks such as VQA and chart understanding, yet recent work suggests they struggle with simple perceptual tests. We present an…

Programming-By-Example by Programming-By-Example: Synthesis of Looping Programs

Shmuel Berman, Mark Santolucito

Program synthesis has seen many new applications in recent years, in large part thanks to the introduction of SyGuS. However, no existing SyGuS solvers have support for synthesizin…
