What do vision-language models see in the context? Investigating multimodal in-context learning

Gabriel O. dos Santos, Esther Colombini, Sandra Avila

In-context learning (ICL) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to learn tasks from demonstration examples without parameter updates. Although it has been extensively studied in LLM…

Clustering Discourses: Racial Biases in Short Stories about Women Generated by Large Language Models

Gustavo Bonil, João Gondim, Marina dos Santos +5

This study investigates how large language models, in particular LLaMA 3.2-3B, construct narratives about Black and white women in short stories generated in Portuguese. From 2100…
