The Geometry of Representational Failures in Vision Language Models

Daniele Savietto, Declan Campbell, André Panisson +4

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit puzzling failures in multi-object visual tasks, such as hallucinating non-existent elements or failing to identify the most similar objects am…

Levels of Analysis for Large Language Models

Alexander Y. Ku, Declan Campbell, Xuechunzi Bai +10

Modern artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models, are increasingly powerful but also increasingly hard to understand. Recognizing this problem as analogous to…

Visual serial processing deficits explain divergences in human and VLM reasoning

Nicholas Budny, Kia Ghods, Declan Campbell +6

Why do Vision Language Models (VLMs), despite success on standard benchmarks, often fail to match human performance on surprisingly simple visual reasoning tasks? While the underly…

Bound by semanticity: universal laws governing the generalization-identification tradeoff

Marco Nurisso, Jesseba Fernando, Raj Deshpande +9

Intelligent systems must deploy internal representations that are simultaneously structured -- to support broad generalization -- and selective -- to preserve input identity. We ex…

Understanding the Limits of Vision Language Models Through the Lens of the Binding Problem

Declan Campbell, Sunayana Rane, Tyler Giallanza +8

Recent work has documented striking heterogeneity in the performance of state-of-the-art vision language models (VLMs), including both multimodal language models and text-to-image…

Learning Human-Aligned Representations with Contrastive Learning and Generative Similarity

Raja Marjieh, Sreejan Kumar, Declan Campbell +4

Humans rely on effective representations to learn from few examples and abstract useful information from sensory data. Inducing such representations in machine learning models has…
