ColMate: Contrastive Late Interaction and Masked Text for Multimodal Document Retrieval
Ahmed Masry, Megh Thakkar, Patrice Bechard +9
Retrieval-augmented generation has proven practical when models require specialized knowledge or access to the latest data. However, existing methods for multimodal document retrie…
BigCharts-R1: Enhanced Chart Reasoning with Visual Reinforcement Finetuning
Ahmed Masry, Abhay Puri, Masoud Hashemi +13
Charts are essential to data analysis, transforming raw data into clear visual representations that support human decision-making. Although current vision-language models (VLMs) ha…
Augmenting LLM Reasoning with Dynamic Notes Writing for Complex QA
Rishabh Maheshwary, Masoud Hashemi, Khyati Mahajan +5
Iterative RAG for multi-hop question answering faces challenges with lengthy contexts and the buildup of irrelevant information. This hinders a model's capacity to process and reas…
AlignVLM: Bridging Vision and Language Latent Spaces for Multimodal Document Understanding
Ahmed Masry, Juan A. Rodriguez, Tianyu Zhang +19
Aligning visual features with language embeddings is a key challenge in vision-language models (VLMs). The performance of such models hinges on having a good connector that maps vi…
RepLiQA: A Question-Answering Dataset for Benchmarking LLMs on Unseen Reference Content
Joao Monteiro, Pierre-Andre Noel, Etienne Marcotte +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on vast amounts of data, most of which is automatically scraped from the internet. This data includes encyclopedic documents that harbor a…
A Deep Reinforcement Learning Chatbot (Short Version)
Iulian V. Serban, Chinnadhurai Sankar, Mathieu Germain +15
We present MILABOT: a deep reinforcement learning chatbot developed by the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA) for the Amazon Alexa Prize competition. MILABOT is capa…
Adversarial Generation of Natural Language
Sai Rajeswar, Sandeep Subramanian, Francis Dutil +2
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have gathered a lot of attention from the computer vision community, yielding impressive results for image generation. Advances in the advers…
