Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks
Nobin Sarwar, Shubhashis Roy Dipta, Zheyuan Liu +1
With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associatio…
ReasonRec: A Reasoning-Augmented Multimodal Agent for Unified Recommendation
Yihua Zhang, Mingfu Liang, Jiyan Yang +11
Recent advances in multimodal recommenders excel at feature fusion but remain opaque and inefficient decision-makers, lacking explicit reasoning and self-awareness of uncertainty.…
Position: Zeroth-Order Optimization in Deep Learning Is Underexplored, Not Underpowered
Sijia Liu, Yicheng Lang, Soumyadeep Pal +6
Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization, learning from finite differences of function evaluations without backpropagation, has recently regained attention in deep learning due to its memory…
Unlearners Can Lie: Evaluating and Improving Honesty in LLM Unlearning
Renjie Gu, Jiazhen Du, Yihua Zhang +1
Unlearning in large language models (LLMs) aims to remove harmful training data while preserving overall utility. However, we find that existing methods often hallucinate, generate…
Visual prompting reimagined: The power of the Activation Prompts
Yihua Zhang, Hongkang Li, Yuguang Yao +5
Visual prompting (VP) has emerged as a popular method to repurpose pretrained vision models for adaptation to downstream tasks. Unlike conventional model fine-tuning techniques, VP…
Powering Up Zeroth-Order Training via Subspace Gradient Orthogonalization
Yicheng Lang, Changsheng Wang, Yihua Zhang +4
Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization provides a gradient-free alternative to first-order (FO) methods by estimating gradients via finite differences of function evaluations, and has rece…
