Self-Distillation of Hidden Layers for Self-Supervised Representation Learning
Scott C. Lowe, Anthony Fuller, Sageev Oore +2
The landscape of self-supervised learning (SSL) is currently dominated by generative approaches (e.g. MAE) that reconstruct raw low-level data, and predictive approaches (e.g. I-JE…
Seeing Syntax: Uncovering Syntactic Learning Limitations in Vision-Language Models
Sri Harsha Dumpala, David Arps, Sageev Oore +2
Vision-language models (VLMs), serve as foundation models for multi-modal applications such as image captioning and text-to-image generation. Recent studies have highlighted limita…
Sensitivity of Generative VLMs to Semantically and Lexically Altered Prompts
Sri Harsha Dumpala, Aman Jaiswal, Chandramouli Sastry +3
Despite the significant influx of prompt-tuning techniques for generative vision-language models (VLMs), it remains unclear how sensitive these models are to lexical and semantic a…
SUGARCREPE++ Dataset: Vision-Language Model Sensitivity to Semantic and Lexical Alterations
Sri Harsha Dumpala, Aman Jaiswal, Chandramouli Sastry +3
Despite their remarkable successes, state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs), including vision-and-language models (VLMs) and unimodal language models (ULMs), fail to understa…
DiffAug: A Diffuse-and-Denoise Augmentation for Training Robust Classifiers
Chandramouli Sastry, Sri Harsha Dumpala, Sageev Oore
We introduce DiffAug, a simple and efficient diffusion-based augmentation technique to train image classifiers for the crucial yet challenging goal of improved classifier robustnes…
