ColMate: Contrastive Late Interaction and Masked Text for Multimodal Document Retrieval
Ahmed Masry, Megh Thakkar, Patrice Bechard +9
Retrieval-augmented generation has proven practical when models require specialized knowledge or access to the latest data. However, existing methods for multimodal document retrie…
FocusAgent: Simple Yet Effective Ways of Trimming the Large Context of Web Agents
Imene Kerboua, Sahar Omidi Shayegan, Megh Thakkar +7
Web agents powered by large language models (LLMs) must process lengthy web page observations to complete user goals; these pages often exceed tens of thousands of tokens. This sat…
BigCharts-R1: Enhanced Chart Reasoning with Visual Reinforcement Finetuning
Ahmed Masry, Abhay Puri, Masoud Hashemi +13
Charts are essential to data analysis, transforming raw data into clear visual representations that support human decision-making. Although current vision-language models (VLMs) ha…
LineRetriever: Planning-Aware Observation Reduction for Web Agents
Imene Kerboua, Sahar Omidi Shayegan, Megh Thakkar +6
While large language models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in web navigation tasks, the extensive context of web pages, often represented as DOM or Accessibility Tree (A…
Too Big to Fool: Resisting Deception in Language Models
Mohammad Reza Samsami, Mats Leon Richter, Juan Rodriguez +3
Large language models must balance their weight-encoded knowledge with in-context information from prompts to generate accurate responses. This paper investigates this interplay by…
A Deep Dive into the Trade-Offs of Parameter-Efficient Preference Alignment Techniques
Megh Thakkar, Quentin Fournier, Matthew D Riemer +4
Large language models are first pre-trained on trillions of tokens and then instruction-tuned or aligned to specific preferences. While pre-training remains out of reach for most r…
