Learning Structured Reasoning via Tractable Trajectory Control

Po-Nien Kung, Zhen Yang, Jeffrey Luo +7

Large language models can exhibit emergent reasoning behaviors, often manifested as recurring lexical patterns (e.g., "wait," indicating verification). However, complex reasoning t…

When Scaling Fails: Mitigating Audio Perception Decay of LALMs via Multi-Step Perception-Aware Reasoning

Ruixiang Mao, Xiangnan Ma, Dan Chen +12

Test-Time Scaling has shown notable efficacy in addressing complex problems through scaling inference compute. However, within Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs), an unintuitive p…

Scale Can't Overcome Pragmatics: The Impact of Reporting Bias on Vision-Language Reasoning

Amita Kamath, Jack Hessel, Khyathi Chandu +3

The lack of reasoning capabilities in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) has remained at the forefront of research discourse. We posit that this behavior stems from a reporting bias in…

GenEval 2: Addressing Benchmark Drift in Text-to-Image Evaluation

Amita Kamath, Kai-Wei Chang, Ranjay Krishna +3

Automating Text-to-Image (T2I) model evaluation is challenging; a judge model must be used to score correctness, and test prompts must be selected to be challenging for current T2I…

The Hard Positive Truth about Vision-Language Compositionality

Amita Kamath, Cheng-Yu Hsieh, Kai-Wei Chang +1

Several benchmarks have concluded that our best vision-language models (e.g., CLIP) are lacking in compositionality. Given an image, these benchmarks probe a model's ability to ide…

Matryoshka Query Transformer for Large Vision-Language Models

Wenbo Hu, Zi-Yi Dou, Liunian Harold Li +3

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) typically encode an image into a fixed number of visual tokens (e.g., 576) and process these tokens with a language model. Despite their strong…

What's "up" with vision-language models? Investigating their struggle with spatial reasoning

Amita Kamath, Jack Hessel, Kai-Wei Chang

Recent vision-language (VL) models are powerful, but can they reliably distinguish "right" from "left"? We curate three new corpora to quantify model comprehension of such basic sp…
