We introduce a super simple yet effective strategy to improve video-language alignment (+18%): add hallucination correction in your training objective👌
Excited to share our accepted paper at ACL: Can Hallucination Correction Improve Video-language Alignment?

A huge shout-out to all the amazing collaborators! @houyu0930.bsky.social, @tristacao.bsky.social, @haldaume3.bsky.social, Rachel Rudinger.

Won't see you in Singapore due to visa issues tho 💁‍♀️

NLI Improves Compositionality in Vision-Language Models is accepted to #ICLR2025!

CECE enables interpretability and achieves significant improvements in hard compositional benchmarks without fine-tuning (e.g., Winoground, EqBen) and alignment (e.g., DrawBench, EditBench). + info: cece-vlm.github.io

- Some happiness among chaos: all CVPR reviews are in! 🎉
- Some bitterness among joy: looking forward to the **highly irresponsible reviewers** desk rejections.

Very happy with most reviewers tho (responsive and eager to fix short/uninformative comments)

Now, back to reviewing PhD applications 🥲

a bit better, but axolotls still win...

Job alert! 🚨 (a bit special but anyway)

If you are (or know someone who is) a Phd about to graduate or just graduated, and have to skip some in between time, I currently have a PostDoc position that could run for 6 months.

It's taking a fair amount of time, but I suspect my future self will be grateful.

Causal Effect of Group Diversity on Redundancy and Coverage in Peer-Reviewing A large host of scientific journals and conferences solicit peer reviews from multiple reviewers for the same submission, aiming to gather a broader range of perspectives and mitigate individual biase...

This is my first time serving as an AC for a big conference.

Just read this great work by Goyal et al. arxiv.org/abs/2411.11437

I'm optimizing for high coverage and low redundancy—assigning reviewers based on relevant topics or affinity scores alone feels off. Seniority and diversity matter!

Very nice view from my office! :)

Nice day to engage in ICLR discussions! 🦋

For me, practicing some new drum-hand techniques during short breaks significantly improves my reading and writing concentration span.

I'm currently trying to learn the traditional grip push/pull technique. Any tips or tricks are more than welcome! :)
