Concept-Aware Batch Sampling Improves Language-Image Pretraining

Adhiraj Ghosh, Vishaal Udandarao, Thao Nguyen +7

What data should a vision-language model be trained on? To answer this question, many data curation efforts center on the quality of a dataset. However, most of these existing meth…

Mapping Post-Training Forgetting in Language Models at Scale

Jackson Harmon, Andreas Hochlehnert, Matthias Bethge +1

Scaled post-training now drives many of the largest capability gains in language models (LMs), yet its effect on pretrained knowledge remains poorly understood. Not all forgetting…

LLM generation novelty through the lens of semantic similarity

Philipp Davydov, Ameya Prabhu, Matthias Bethge +2

Generation novelty is a key indicator of an LLM's ability to generalize, yet measuring it against full pretraining corpora is computationally challenging. Existing evaluations ofte…

Strategic Dishonesty Can Undermine AI Safety Evaluations of Frontier LLMs

Alexander Panfilov, Evgenii Kortukov, Kristina Nikolić +6

Large language model (LLM) developers aim for their models to be honest, helpful, and harmless. However, when faced with malicious requests, models are trained to refuse, sacrifici…

A Good CREPE needs more than just Sugar: Investigating Biases in Compositional Vision-Language Benchmarks

Vishaal Udandarao, Mehdi Cherti, Shyamgopal Karthik +3

We investigate 17 benchmarks (e.g. SugarCREPE, VALSE) commonly used for measuring compositional understanding capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs). We scrutinize design ch…

Are We Done with Object-Centric Learning?

Alexander Rubinstein, Ameya Prabhu, Matthias Bethge +1

Object-centric learning (OCL) seeks to learn representations that only encode an object, isolated from other objects or background cues in a scene. This approach underpins various…
