LAION-BVD: A 10-Million-Hour Open Video Dataset for Multimodal Pre-training
Andreas Hochlehnert, Marianna Nezhurina, Mehdi Cherti +9
We present LAION-BVD, a large-scale open video dataset for multimodal learning, which contains 1.3B platform-specific video URLs collected from CommonCrawl. From these, we download…
LittleLearner: Language Models Under Pedagogically Controlled Knowledge Exposure
Fanfei Li, Jana Zeller, Manuel Prada-Corral +4
Modern language models are trained on heterogeneous web-scale text corpora. Consequently, studying knowledge and skill acquisition is difficult, as prior exposure to related conten…
Visual prompt engineering for video models
Robert Geirhos, Yuxuan Li, Thaddäus Wiedemer +7
In the age of foundation models, a model is only as good as its prompt. For this reason, prompt engineering has become an essential technique for improving language model performan…
MATH-Beyond: A Benchmark for RL to Expand Beyond the Base Model
Prasanna Mayilvahanan, Ricardo Dominguez-Olmedo, Thaddäus Wiedemer +1
With the advent of DeepSeek-R1, a new wave of reinforcement learning (RL) methods has emerged that seem to unlock stronger mathematical reasoning. However, a closer look at the ope…
Pretraining Frequency Predicts Compositional Generalization of CLIP on Real-World Tasks
Thaddäus Wiedemer, Yash Sharma, Ameya Prabhu +2
We investigate the success conditions for compositional generalization of CLIP models on real-world data through performance prediction. Prior work shows that CLIP requires exponen…
