Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) with discrete image tokenizers unify multimodal representations by encoding visual inputs into a finite set of tokens. Despite their effectiveness, we find that these models still hallucinate non-existent objects. We hypothesize that one reason is due to visual p…
"Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) offer a promising avenue toward achieving efficient deep-learning models but are hindered by the inherent challenge of aligning noisy floating-point gradients with binary parameters. To address this, we introduce Diode, a groundbreaking optimizer designed explicitly fo…
Pre-trained Language Models in Natural Language Processing have become increasingly computationally expensive and memory demanding. The recently proposed computation-adaptive BERT models facilitate their deployment in practical applications. Training such a BERT model involves jointly optimizing sub…
We propose a family of metrics to assess language generation derived from population estimation methods widely used in ecology. More specifically, we use mark-recapture and maximum-likelihood methods that have been applied over the past several decades to estimate the size of closed populations in t…
