Direct Preference Optimization of Video Large Multimodal Models from Language Model Reward

NAACL 2025long

Preference modeling techniques, such as direct preference optimization (DPO), has shown effective in enhancing the generalization abilities of large language model (LLM). However, in tasks involving video instruction-following, providing informative feedback, especially for open-ended conversations,…

Improve Vision Language Model Chain-of-thought Reasoning

ACL 2025long

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in vision language models (VLMs) is crucial for improving interpretability and trustworthiness. However, current training recipes often relying on datasets dominated by short annotations with minimal rationales. In this work, we show that training VLM on short answer…

SOTOPIA: Interactive Evaluation for Social Intelligence in Language Agents

ICLR 2024spotlight

*Humans are social beings*; we pursue social goals in our daily interactions, which is a crucial aspect of social intelligence. Yet, AI systems' abilities in this realm remain elusive. We present SOTOPIA, an open-ended environment to simulate complex social interactions between artificial agents and…

PESCO: Prompt-enhanced Self Contrastive Learning for Zero-shot Text Classification

ACL 2023long

We present PESCO, a novel contrastive learning framework that substantially improves the performance of zero-shot text classification. We formulate text classification as a neural text retrieval problem where each document is treated as a query, and the system learns the mapping from each query to t…
