Can vision language models learn intuitive physics from interaction?

ICML 2026poster

Pre-trained vision language models do not have good intuitions about the physical world. Recent work has shown that supervised fine-tuning can improve model performance on simple physical tasks. However, fine-tuned models do not appear to learn robust physical rules that can generalize to new contex…

Sparse Autoencoders Reveal Temporal Difference Learning in Large Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

In-context learning, the ability to adapt based on a few examples in the input prompt, is a ubiquitous feature of large language models (LLMs). However, as LLMs' in-context learning abilities continue to improve, understanding this phenomenon mechanistically becomes increasingly important. In partic…

Evaluating alignment between humans and neural network representations in image-based learning tasks

NeurIPS 2024poster

Humans represent scenes and objects in rich feature spaces, carrying information that allows us to generalise about category memberships and abstract functions with few examples. What determines whether a neural network model generalises like a human? We tested how well the representations of $86$ p…
