Cross-Modal Attention Acts as a Frequency Filter: Why Verbose Prompts Improve Robustness in Vision-Language Models
Farooq Ahmad Wani, Maria Sofia Bucarelli, Mujtaba Hussain Mirza +5
Vision-language models (VLMs) are fragile under image corruption. We find that the wording of the question affects VLMs in two opposite ways. Verbose questions make VLMs substantia…

Energy Guided smoothness to improve Robustness in Graph Classification
Farooq Ahmad Wani, Maria Sofia Bucarelli, Andrea Giuseppe Di Francesco +2
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful at solving graph classification tasks, yet applied problems often contain noisy labels. In this work, we study GNN robustness to label noi…
