Head Pursuit: Probing Attention Specialization in Multimodal Transformers

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Language and vision-language models have shown impressive performance across a wide range of tasks, but their internal mechanisms remain only partly understood. In this work, we study how individual attention heads in text-generative models specialize in specific semantic or visual attributes. Build…

Intrinsic Dimension Correlation: uncovering nonlinear connections in multimodal representations

ICLR 2025poster

To gain insight into the mechanisms behind machine learning methods, it is crucial to establish connections among the features describing data points. However, these correlations often exhibit a high-dimensional and strongly nonlinear nature, which makes them challenging to detect using standard met…

The Narrow Gate: Localized Image-Text Communication in Native Multimodal Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advances in multimodal training have significantly improved the integration of image understanding and generation within a unified model. This study investigates how vision-language models (VLMs) handle image-understanding tasks, focusing on how visual information is processed and transferred…
