Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance across diverse tasks. However, their deployment in long-context scenarios faces high computational overhead a…
Tomato, Tomahto, Tomate: Do Multilingual Language Models Understand Based on Subword-Level Semantic Concepts?
Crystina Zhang, Jing Lu, Vinh Q. Tran +3
Human understanding of text depends on general semantic concepts of words rather than their superficial forms. To what extent does our human intuition transfer to language models?…
Words Worth a Thousand Pictures: Measuring and Understanding Perceptual Variability in Text-to-Image Generation
Raphael Tang, Xinyu Zhang, Lixinyu Xu +5
Diffusion models are the state of the art in text-to-image generation, but their perceptual variability remains understudied. In this paper, we examine how prompts affect image var…
