Looking to Learn: Token-wise Dynamic Gating for Low-Resource Vision-Language Modelling
Bianca-Mihaela Ganescu, Suchir Salhan, Andrew Caines +1
Training vision-language models on cognitively-plausible amounts of data requires rethinking how models integrate multimodal information. Within the constraints of the Vision track…

Meta-Pretraining for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Named Entity Recognition in Low-Resource Philippine Languages
David Demitri Africa, Suchir Salhan, Yuval Weiss +2
Named-entity recognition (NER) in low-resource languages is usually tackled by finetuning very large multilingual LMs, an option that is often infeasible in memory- or latency-cons…

Pico: A Modular Framework for Hypothesis-Driven Small Language Model Research
Richard Diehl Martinez, David Demitri Africa, Yuval Weiss +3
Building language models (LMs), especially small and medium ones, remains more art than science. While large LMs often improve by sheer scale, it is still unclear why many design c…
