Chain-of-Thought Degrades Visual Spatial Reasoning Capabilities of Multimodal LLMs

Sai Srinivas Kancheti, Aditya Sanjiv Kanade, Vineeth N. Balasubramanian +1

Multimodal Reasoning Models (MRMs) leveraging Chain-of-Thought (CoT) based thinking have revolutionized mathematical and logical problem-solving. However, we show that this paradig…

Efficient Vocabulary-Free Fine-Grained Visual Recognition in the Age of Multimodal LLMs

Hari Chandana Kuchibhotla, Sai Srinivas Kancheti, Abbavaram Gowtham Reddy +1

Fine-grained Visual Recognition (FGVR) involves distinguishing between visually similar categories, which is inherently challenging due to subtle inter-class differences and the ne…

Interpretable Model Drift Detection

Pranoy Panda, Kancheti Sai Srinivas, Vineeth N Balasubramanian +1

Data in the real world often has an evolving distribution. Thus, machine learning models trained on such data get outdated over time. This phenomenon is called model drift. Knowled…
