Key takeaway: Adding simple structure at inference-time, through image crops and text segments, is a powerful, training-free way to improve Vision-Language Compositionality performance.
Joint work with @Ander Salaberria @eagirre.bsky.social @gazkune.bsky.social @hitz-zentroa.bsky.social

Our analysis shows that:
1. There is room to improve the quality of extracted text segments.
2. Our method achieves significant performance gains in Winoground's non-trivial instances.
3. Isolated image crops can lose size and quantity information, leaving room for improvement.

Why are image crops crucial? 🤔 We found that simply adding text segments isn't enough. The biggest performance gains come when text segments are paired with image crops, proving the power of serial image computing.

Our approach is straightforward yet effective:
1. Divide the image into smaller crops.
2. Extract text segments capturing objects, attributes and relations.
3. Use the VLM to find image crops that best fit the text segments.
4. Aggregate matching similarities for the final score.

Can a simple inference-time approach unlock better Vision-Language Compositionality?🤯
Our latest paper shows how adding structure at inference significantly boosts performance in popular dual-encoder VLMs on different datasets.

While the experiments were not complicated, they required the collaboration of amazing co-authors, many compute hours, and of course, the impressive collaboration of the Basque community that was involved in manually assessing the models on an arena style evaluation.
Thank you!

In this work we face the challenge of developing instruct models for Basque, a low-resource language.
Continue pretraining base models is intuitive, but what about instructed models? We analyze systematically all different approaches to find the best solution.

Do you know that you can continue pretraining Instructed LLMs without losing their instruction following capabilities?
We did so to teach Basque to Llama models with promising results!
Interestingly, you only need English instructions and target language corpora 🤯
