Today we welcomed @chinglam.bsky.social back to @aicentre.dk for a visit and lunch talk on her latest work as a PhD student at @csail.mit.edu on multimodal learning: “Seeing Beyond the Cave: Asymmetric Views of Representation” www.aicentre.dk/events/lunch...

Excited to share our new work at @acm.org Transactions on Graphics/@acmsiggraph.bsky.social! We use coded noise to add an invisible watermark to lighting that helps detect fake or manipulated video. (1/2)

Congratulations Andrew Rabinovich (PhD ‘08) on winning the Longuet-Higgins Prize at #CVPR2025! (1/2)

I am excited to announce our latest work 🎉 "Cultural Evaluations of Vision-Language Models Have a Lot to Learn from Cultural Theory". We review recent works on culture in VLMs and argue for deeper grounding in cultural theory to enable more inclusive evaluations. Paper 🔗: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22793

🚀New Preprint🚀 Can Multimodal Retrieval Enhance Cultural Awareness in Vision-Language Models? Excited to introduce RAVENEA, a new benchmark aimed at evaluating cultural understanding in VLMs through RAG. arxiv.org/abs/2505.14462 More details:👇

This morning at P1 a handful of lucky of lab members got to see the telescope while centre secretary Björg had the dome open for a building tour 🔭 (1/7)

Time to revive the Belongie Lab Throwback Thursday tradition we had started in the before times 🙌 Today's #tbt is Jia et al. "Visual Prompt Tuning," from ECCV 2022 (1/5)

Thank you Prof. Derpanis!

New study with @iaugenstein.bsky.social’s group analyzing the interplay between photos and text in the news

Thrilled to announce "Multimodality Helps Few-shot 3D Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation" is accepted as a Spotlight (5%) at #ICLR2025! Our model MM-FSS leverages 3D, 2D, & text modalities for robust few-shot 3D segmentation—all without extra labeling cost. 🤩 arxiv.org/pdf/2410.22489 More details👇

Recordings of the SSL4EO-2024 summer school are now released! This blog post summarizes what has been covered: langnico.github.io/posts/SSL4EO... Recordings: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Course website: ankitkariryaa.github.io/ssl4eo/ [1/3]

From San Diego to New York to Copenhagen, wishing you Happy Holidays!🎄

With @neuripsconf.bsky.social right around the corner, we’re excited to be presenting our work soon! Here’s an overview (1/5)

Here’s a starter pack with members of our lab that have joined Bluesky

Ever wanted to train your own 13B Llama2 model from scratch on a 24GB GPU? Or fine-tune one without compromising performance compared to full training? 🦙 You now can, with LoQT: Low-Rank Adapters for Quantized Pretaining! arxiv.org/abs/2405.16528 1/4

🤔Do Vision and Language Models Share Concepts? 🚀 We present an empirical evaluation and find that language models partially converge towards representations isomorphic to those of vision models. #EMNLP 📃 direct.mit.edu/tacl/article...
