Visual Program Distillation with Template-Based Augmentation

EMNLP 2025

Adapting visual programming or prompting large language models (LLMs) to generate executable code for visual tasks like visual question answering (VQA) for specialized tasks or domains remains challenging due to high annotation and inference costs. We propose a low-cost visual program distillation m

Language Agent Tree Search Unifies Reasoning, Acting, and Planning in Language Models

ICML 2024poster

While language models (LMs) have shown potential across a range of decision-making tasks, their reliance on simple acting processes limits their broad deployment as autonomous agents. In this paper, we introduce Language Agent Tree Search (LATS) -- the first general framework that synergizes the cap…

Region-Based Representations Revisited

CVPR 2024poster

We investigate whether region-based representations are effective for recognition. Regions were once a mainstay in recognition approaches but pixel and patch-based features are now used almost exclusively. We show that recent class-agnostic segmenters like SAM can be effectively combined with strong…

WebWISE: Unlocking Web Interface Control for LLMs via Sequential Exploration

NAACL 2024findings

This paper investigates using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically perform web software tasks using click, scroll, and text in- put operations. Previous approaches, such as reinforcement learning (RL) or imitation learning, are inefficient to train and task-specific. Our method uses filtere…

Learning Curves for Analysis of Deep Networks

ICML 2021spotlight

Learning curves model a classifier’s test error as a function of the number of training samples. Prior works show that learning curves can be used to select model parameters and extrapolate performance. We investigate how to use learning curves to evaluate design choices, such as pretraining, archit…
