CURE: Curriculum-guided Multi-task Training for Reliable Anatomy Grounded Report Generation

CVPR 2026

Medical vision-language models can automate the generation of radiology reports but struggle with accurate visual grounding and factual consistency. Existing models often misalign textual findings with visual evidence, leading to unreliable or weakly grounded predictions. We present "CURE", an error

Rethinking Layer Relevance in Large Language Models Beyond Cosine Similarity

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing. Understanding their internal mechanisms is crucial for developing more interpretable and optimized architectures. Mechanistic interpretability has led to the development of various methods for assessing layer relevance, wi…

Seeing to Generalize: How Visual Data Corrects Binding Shortcuts

ICML 2026poster

Vision Language Models (VLMs) are designed to extend Large Language Models (LLMs) with visual capabilities, yet in this work we observe a surprising phenomenon: VLMs can outperform their underlying LLMs on purely text-only tasks, particularly in long-context information retrieval. To investigate thi…

A compressive-expressive communication framework for compositional representations

NeurIPS 2025poster

Compositionality in knowledge and language—the ability to represent complex concepts as a combination of simpler ones—is a hallmark of human cognition and communication. Despite recent advances, deep neural networks still struggle to acquire this property reliably. Neural models for emergent communi…

Extracting and Encoding: Leveraging Large Language Models and Medical Knowledge to Enhance Radiological Text Representation

ACL 2024findings

Advancing representation learning in specialized fields like medicine remains challenging due to the scarcity of expert annotations for text and images. To tackle this issue, we present a novel two-stage framework designed to extract high-quality factual statements from free-text radiology reports i…

On the Unexpected Effectiveness of Reinforcement Learning for Sequential Recommendation

ICML 2024poster

In recent years, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown great promise in session-based recommendation. Sequential models that use RL have reached state-of-the-art performance for the Next-item Prediction (NIP) task. This result is intriguing, as the NIP task only evaluates how well the system can cor…
