Assay2Mol: large language model-based drug design using BioAssay context
Yifan Deng, Spencer S. Ericksen, Anthony Gitter
Scientific databases aggregate vast amounts of quantitative data alongside descriptive text. In biochemistry, molecule screening assays evaluate candidate molecules' functional res…
Gemma 3 Technical Report
Gemma Team, Aishwarya Kamath, Johan Ferret +209
We introduce Gemma 3, a multimodal addition to the Gemma family of lightweight open models, ranging in scale from 1 to 27 billion parameters. This version introduces vision underst…
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…
A Tale of Two Structures: Do LLMs Capture the Fractal Complexity of Language?
Ibrahim Alabdulmohsin, Andreas Steiner
Language exhibits a fractal structure in its information-theoretic complexity (i.e. bits per token), with self-similarity across scales and long-range dependence (LRD). In this wor…
PaliGemma 2: A Family of Versatile VLMs for Transfer
Andreas Steiner, André Susano Pinto, Michael Tschannen +15
PaliGemma 2 is an upgrade of the PaliGemma open Vision-Language Model (VLM) based on the Gemma 2 family of language models. We combine the SigLIP-So400m vision encoder that was als…
PaliGemma: A versatile 3B VLM for transfer
Lucas Beyer, Andreas Steiner, André Susano Pinto +32
PaliGemma is an open Vision-Language Model (VLM) that is based on the SigLIP-So400m vision encoder and the Gemma-2B language model. It is trained to be a versatile and broadly know…
No Filter: Cultural and Socioeconomic Diversity in Contrastive Vision-Language Models
Angéline Pouget, Lucas Beyer, Emanuele Bugliarello +4
We study cultural and socioeconomic diversity in contrastive vision-language models (VLMs). Using a broad range of benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics, we bring to attention…
CLIP the Bias: How Useful is Balancing Data in Multimodal Learning?
Ibrahim Alabdulmohsin, Xiao Wang, Andreas Steiner +3
We study the effectiveness of data-balancing for mitigating biases in contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP), identifying areas of strength and limitation. First, we reaffir…
LocCa: Visual Pretraining with Location-aware Captioners
Bo Wan, Michael Tschannen, Yongqin Xian +7
Image captioning has been shown as an effective pretraining method similar to contrastive pretraining. However, the incorporation of location-aware information into visual pretrain…
Patch n' Pack: NaViT, a Vision Transformer for any Aspect Ratio and Resolution
Mostafa Dehghani, Basil Mustafa, Josip Djolonga +12
The ubiquitous and demonstrably suboptimal choice of resizing images to a fixed resolution before processing them with computer vision models has not yet been successfully challeng…
Image Captioners Are Scalable Vision Learners Too
Michael Tschannen, Manoj Kumar, Andreas Steiner +3
Contrastive pretraining on image-text pairs from the web is one of the most popular large-scale pretraining strategies for vision backbones, especially in the context of large mult…
PaLI-X: On Scaling up a Multilingual Vision and Language Model
Xi Chen, Josip Djolonga, Piotr Padlewski +40
We present the training recipe and results of scaling up PaLI-X, a multilingual vision and language model, both in terms of size of the components and the breadth of its training t…
Three Towers: Flexible Contrastive Learning with Pretrained Image Models
Jannik Kossen, Mark Collier, Basil Mustafa +7
We introduce Three Towers (3T), a flexible method to improve the contrastive learning of vision-language models by incorporating pretrained image classifiers. While contrastive mod…
A Study of Autoregressive Decoders for Multi-Tasking in Computer Vision
Lucas Beyer, Bo Wan, Gagan Madan +9
There has been a recent explosion of computer vision models which perform many tasks and are composed of an image encoder (usually a ViT) and an autoregressive decoder (usually a T…
Scaling Vision Transformers to 22 Billion Parameters
Mostafa Dehghani, Josip Djolonga, Basil Mustafa +39
The scaling of Transformers has driven breakthrough capabilities for language models. At present, the largest large language models (LLMs) contain upwards of 100B parameters. Visio…
PaLI: A Jointly-Scaled Multilingual Language-Image Model
