MixtureVitae: Open Web-Scale Pretraining Dataset With High Quality Instruction and Reasoning Data Built from Permissive-First Text Sources

ICML 2026poster

We present MixtureVitae, an open‑access pretraining corpus built to minimize legal risk while providing strong downstream performance. MixtureVitae follows a permissive‑first, risk‑mitigated sourcing strategy that combines public‑domain and permissively licensed text (e.g., CC‑BY/Apache) with carefu…

EmoNet-Face: An Expert-Annotated Benchmark for Synthetic Emotion Recognition

NeurIPS 2025poster

Effective human-AI interaction relies on AI's ability to accurately perceive and interpret human emotions. Current benchmarks for vision and vision-language models are severely limited, offering a narrow emotional spectrum that overlooks nuanced states (e.g., bitterness, intoxication) and fails to d…

OpenAssistant Conversations - Democratizing Large Language Model Alignment

NeurIPS 2023oral

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences has proven to drastically improve usability and has driven rapid adoption as demonstrated by ChatGPT. Alignment techniques such as supervised fine-tuning (\textit{SFT}) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (\textit{RLHF}) greatl…

Reproducible Scaling Laws for Contrastive Language-Image Learning

CVPR 2023poster

Scaling up neural networks has led to remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks. Moreover, performance often follows reliable scaling laws as a function of training set size, model size, and compute, which offers valuable guidance as large-scale experiments are becoming increasingly expens…

LAION-5B: An open large-scale dataset for training next generation image-text models

NeurIPS 2022accept

Groundbreaking language-vision architectures like CLIP and DALL-E proved the utility of training on large amounts of noisy image-text data, without relying on expensive accurate labels used in standard vision unimodal supervised learning. The resulting models showed capabilities of strong text-guide…
