DataComp-VLM: Improved Open Datasets for Vision-Language Models
Matteo Farina, Vishaal Udandarao, Thao Nguyen +34
Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curat…
LiteFrame: Efficient Vision Encoders Unlock Frame Scaling in Video LLMs
Jihwan Kim, Nikhil Parthasarathy, Danfeng Qin +5
The fundamental challenge in scaling Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) to long-form video lies in managing the explosion of visual-token context length. Existing strategies…
Active Data Curation Effectively Distills Large-Scale Multimodal Models
Vishaal Udandarao, Nikhil Parthasarathy, Muhammad Ferjad Naeem +6
Knowledge distillation (KD) is the de facto standard for compressing large-scale models into smaller ones. Prior works have explored ever more complex KD strategies involving diffe…
SigLIP 2: Multilingual Vision-Language Encoders with Improved Semantic Understanding, Localization, and Dense Features
Michael Tschannen, Alexey Gritsenko, Xiao Wang +11
We introduce SigLIP 2, a family of new multilingual vision-language encoders that build on the success of the original SigLIP. In this second iteration, we extend the original imag…
