Probing Perceptual Priors of MLLMs via Gibbs Sampling with Interpretable Generative Controls

Manuel Cherep, Pattie Maes, Nikhil Singh

A model's behavior on a task is jointly determined by the input it receives and the prior it brings in, i.e. the distribution over stimuli it implicitly expects. Interpretability r…

LLM Agents Are Hypersensitive to Nudges

Manuel Cherep, Pattie Maes, Nikhil Singh

LLMs are being set loose in complex, real-world environments involving sequential decision-making and tool use. Often, this involves making choices on behalf of human users. Howeve…

Creative Text-to-Audio Generation via Synthesizer Programming

Manuel Cherep, Nikhil Singh, Jessica Shand

Neural audio synthesis methods now allow specifying ideas in natural language. However, these methods produce results that cannot be easily tweaked, as they are based on large late…
