Decompose, Compare, and Decide: Multimodal LLMs are Implicit Few-Shot Learners

Yunhan Wang, Eshika Khandelwal, Edson Araujo +3

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable abilities when analyzing images, yet translating these capabilities to few-shot image classification remains c…

VOLD: Reasoning Transfer from LLMs to Vision-Language Models via On-Policy Distillation

Walid Bousselham, Hilde Kuehne, Cordelia Schmid

Training vision-language models (VLMs) for complex reasoning remains a challenging task, i.a. due to the scarcity of high-quality image-text reasoning data. Conversely, text-based…

When LLaVA Meets Objects: Token Composition for Vision-Language-Models

Soumya Jahagirdar, Walid Bousselham, Anna Kukleva +1

Current autoregressive Vision Language Models (VLMs) usually rely on a large number of visual tokens to represent images, resulting in a need for more compute especially at inferen…

REVEAL: Relation-based Video Representation Learning for Video-Question-Answering

Sofian Chaybouti, Walid Bousselham, Moritz Wolter +1

Video-Question-Answering (VideoQA) comprises the capturing of complex visual relation changes over time, remaining a challenge even for advanced Video Language Models (VLM), i.a.,…
