Medical Vision-Language Pre-Training for Brain Abnormalities

COLING 2024main

Vision-language models have become increasingly powerful for tasks that require an understanding of both visual and linguistic elements, bridging the gap between these modalities. In the context of multimodal clinical AI, there is a growing need for models that possess domain-specific knowledge, as…

MAGIC: Mask-Guided Image Synthesis by Inverting a Quasi-robust Classifier

AAAI 2023technical

We offer a method for one-shot mask-guided image synthesis that allows controlling manipulations of a single image by inverting a quasi-robust classifier equipped with strong regularizers. Our proposed method, entitled MAGIC, leverages structured gradients from a pre-trained quasi-robust classifier…

MetaVL: Transferring In-Context Learning Ability From Language Models to Vision-Language Models

ACL 2023short

Large-scale language models have shown the ability to adapt to a new task via conditioning on a few demonstrations (i.e., in-context learning). However, in the vision-language domain, most large-scale pre-trained vision-language (VL) models do not possess the ability to conduct in-context learning.…

GeoMLAMA: Geo-Diverse Commonsense Probing on Multilingual Pre-Trained Language Models

EMNLP 2022main

Recent work has shown that Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) store the relational knowledge learned from data and utilize it for performing downstream tasks. However, commonsense knowledge across different regions may vary. For instance, the color of bridal dress is white in American weddings where…

How well can Text-to-Image Generative Models understand Ethical Natural Language Interventions?

EMNLP 2022main

Text-to-image generative models have achieved unprecedented success in generating high-quality images based on natural language descriptions. However, it is shown that these models tend to favor specific social groups when prompted with neutral text descriptions (e.g., ‘a photo of a lawyer’). Follow…

Harms of Gender Exclusivity and Challenges in Non-Binary Representation in Language Technologies

EMNLP 2021main

Gender is widely discussed in the context of language tasks and when examining the stereotypes propagated by language models. However, current discussions primarily treat gender as binary, which can perpetuate harms such as the cyclical erasure of non-binary gender identities. These harms are driven…
