ChartMuseum: Testing Visual Reasoning Capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Chart understanding presents a unique challenge for large vision-language models (LVLMs), as it requires the integration of sophisticated textual and visual reasoning capabilities. However, current LVLMs exhibit a notable imbalance between these skills, falling short on visual reasoning that is diff…

Is the Top Still Spinning? Evaluating Subjectivity in Narrative Understanding

EMNLP 2025

Determining faithfulness of a claim to a source document is an important problem across many domains. This task is generally treated as a binary judgment of whether the claim is supported or unsupported in relation to the source. In many cases, though, whether a claim is supported can be ambiguous.

MiniCheck: Efficient Fact-Checking of LLMs on Grounding Documents

EMNLP 2024main

Recognizing if LLM output can be grounded in evidence is central to many tasks in NLP: retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, document-grounded dialogue, and more. Current approaches to this kind of fact-checking are based on verifying each piece of a model generation against potential evide…

TofuEval: Evaluating Hallucinations of LLMs on Topic-Focused Dialogue Summarization

NAACL 2024long

Single document news summarization has seen substantial progress on faithfulness in recent years, driven by research on the evaluation of factual consistency, or hallucinations. We ask whether these advances carry over to other text summarization domains. We propose a new evaluation benchmark on top…

Less Likely Brainstorming: Using Language Models to Generate Alternative Hypotheses

ACL 2023findings

A human decision-maker benefits the most from an AI assistant that corrects for their biases. For problems such as generating interpretation of a radiology report given findings, a system predicting only highly likely outcomes may be less useful, where such outcomes are already obvious to the user.…

Understanding Factual Errors in Summarization: Errors, Summarizers, Datasets, Error Detectors

ACL 2023long

The propensity of abstractive summarization models to make factual errors has been studied extensively, including design of metrics to detect factual errors and annotation of errors in current systems’ outputs. However, the ever-evolving nature of summarization systems, metrics, and annotated benchm…
