Do VLMs Perceive or Recall? Probing Visual Perception vs. Memory with Classic Visual Illusions

CVPR 2026

Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often answer classic visual illusions "correctly" on original images, yet persist with the same responses when illusion factors are inverted, even though the visual change is obvious to humans. This raises a fundamental question: do VLMs perceive visual changes or

Transductive Visual Programming: Evolving Tool Libraries from Experience for Spatial Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

The composition of specialized tools offers a powerful approach for complex visual reasoning, particularly for tasks involving 3D spatial understanding. However, existing visual programming methods are often constrained by fixed toolsets or offline tool induction, which leads to suboptimal solutions…

Finetuning LLMs for Human Behavior Prediction in Social Science Experiments

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) offer a powerful opportunity to simulate the results of social science experiments. In this work, we demonstrate that finetuning LLMs directly on individual-level responses from past experiments meaningfully improves the accuracy of such simulations. We construct SocSci2

Symmetrical Visual Contrastive Optimization: Aligning Vision-Language Models with Minimal Contrastive Images

ACL 2025long

Recent studies have shown that Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) tend to neglect image content and over-rely on language-model priors, resulting in errors in visually grounded tasks and hallucinations. We hypothesize that this issue arises because existing VLMs are not explicitly trained to genera…

Rethinking Pragmatics in Large Language Models: Towards Open-Ended Evaluation and Preference Tuning

EMNLP 2024main

This study addresses the challenges of assessing and enhancing social-pragmatic inference in large language models (LLMs). We first highlight the inadequacy of current accuracy-based multiple choice question answering (MCQA) formats in assessing social-pragmatic reasoning, and propose the direct eva…
