Balancing Act: Diversity and Consistency in Large Language Model Ensembles

ICLR 2025poster

Ensembling strategies for Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in improving performance across various tasks by combining the strengths of individual models. However, identifying the most effective ensembling method remains an open challenge, as neither maximizing out…

DeCoRe: Decoding by Contrasting Retrieval Heads to Mitigate Hallucinations

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) often hallucinate, producing unfaithful or factually incorrect outputs by misrepresenting the provided context or incorrectly recalling internal knowledge. Recent studies have identified specific attention heads within the Transformer architecture, known as retrieval hea

Diffusion Instruction Tuning

ICML 2025poster

We introduce *Lavender*, a simple supervised fine-tuning (SFT) method that boosts the performance of advanced vision-language models (VLMs) by leveraging state-of-the-art image generation models such as Stable Diffusion. Specifically, Lavender aligns the text-vision attention in the VLM transformer…

Segment Anyword: Mask Prompt Inversion for Open-Set Grounded Segmentation

ICML 2025poster

Open-set image segmentation poses a significant challenge because existing methods often demand extensive training or fine-tuning and generally struggle to segment unified objects consistently across diverse text reference expressions. Motivated by this, we propose Segment Anyword, a novel training-…

An Image is Worth Multiple Words: Discovering Object Level Concepts using Multi-Concept Prompt Learning

ICML 2024poster

Textural Inversion, a prompt learning method, learns a singular text embedding for a new "word" to represent image style and appearance, allowing it to be integrated into natural language sentences to generate novel synthesised images. However, identifying multiple unknown object-level concepts with…
