Evaluation of Multilingual Ability to Use Spatial Deictic Expressions in Vision-Language Models

Kaito Watanabe, Taisei Yamamoto, Tomoki Doi +1

One of the expected abilities of vision-language models (VLMs) is spatial reasoning ability based on a given text and image. To evaluate the spatial reasoning abilities of VLMs, we…

Revisiting the Systematicity in Negation in the Era of In-Context Learning

Hitomi Yanaka, Taisei Yamamoto

Understanding the meaning of negated sentences remains one of the challenges for language models, even in the era of large language models (LLMs). We analyze systematicity regardin…

Bias Mitigation or Cultural Commonsense? Evaluating LLMs with a Japanese Dataset

Taisei Yamamoto, Ryoma Kumon, Danushka Bollegala +1

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit social biases, prompting the development of various debiasing methods. However, debiasing methods may degrade the capabilities of LLMs. Previou…
