Samuel Cahyawijaya, Peerat Limkonchotiwat, Tack Hwa Wong +45
While the field of vision-language (VL) has achieved remarkable success in integrating visual and textual information across multiple languages and domains, there is still no dedic…
Counting to Four is still a Chore for VLMs
Duy Le Dinh Anh, Patrick Amadeus Irawan, Tuan Van Vo
Vision--language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive performance on complex multimodal reasoning tasks, yet they still fail on simple grounding skills such as object counting. E…
M4-RAG: A Massive-Scale Multilingual Multi-Cultural Multimodal RAG
David Anugraha, Patrick Amadeus Irawan, Anshul Singh +2
Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved strong performance in visual question answering (VQA), yet they remain constrained by static training data. Retrieval-Augmented Generati…
Can Large Language Models Understand, Reason About, and Generate Code-Switched Text?
Genta Indra Winata, David Anugraha, Patrick Amadeus Irawan +15
Code-switching is a pervasive phenomenon in multilingual communication, yet the robustness of large language models (LLMs) in mixed-language settings remains insufficiently underst…
Vision Language Models are Confused Tourists
Patrick Amadeus Irawan, Ikhlasul Akmal Hanif, Muhammad Dehan Al Kautsar +3
Although the cultural dimension has been one of the key aspects in evaluating Vision-Language Models (VLMs), their ability to remain stable across diverse cultural inputs remains l…
