Multilingual Pretraining for Pixel Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Pixel language models operate directly on images of rendered text, eliminating the need for a fixed vocabulary. While these models have demonstrated strong capabilities for downstream cross-lingual transfer, multilingual pretraining remains underexplored. We introduce PIXEL-M4, a model pretrained on

ViLMA: A Zero-Shot Benchmark for Linguistic and Temporal Grounding in Video-Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

With the ever-increasing popularity of pretrained Video-Language Models (VidLMs), there is a pressing need to develop robust evaluation methodologies that delve deeper into their visio-linguistic capabilities. To address this challenge, we present ViLMA (Video Language Model Assessment), a task-agno…

CRAFT: A Benchmark for Causal Reasoning About Forces and inTeractions

ACL 2022findings

Humans are able to perceive, understand and reason about causal events. Developing models with similar physical and causal understanding capabilities is a long-standing goal of artificial intelligence. As a step towards this direction, we introduce CRAFT, a new video question answering dataset that…
