Extended preprint with new experiments arxiv.org/abs/2502.20503 🚨 We identify a key vulnerability of multimodal LLMs: they are easily deceived by misleading charts🫣 This vulnerability opens many doors for future work in automated chart understanding, be sure to check it out!

Very excited to share this work which opens new research directions for chart reasoning with LLMs! We find that, like humans, multimodal LLMs are vulnerable to misleading charts, which severely impairs their chart QA abilities. Check out our preprint, data, and code - more information ⬇️

One more paper at #NAACL: »COVE: COntext and VEracity prediction for out-of-context images« by Jonathan Tonglet (@tongletj.bsky.social), Gabriel Thiem (@gthiem.bsky.social) & Iryna Gurevych (@igurevych.bsky.social)

We had a blast at this year's @ellis.eu Dagstuhl seminar on "Modular and Agentive LLMs". Thanks everyone for participating!
