Low-Pass Filtering Improves Behavioral Alignment of Vision Models

ICLR 2026poster

Despite their impressive performance on computer vision benchmarks, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) still fall short of adequately modeling human visual behavior, as measured by error consistency and shape bias. Recent work hypothesized that behavioral alignment can be drastically improved through gener…

MentisOculi: Revealing the Limits of Reasoning with Mental Imagery

ICML 2026poster

Frontier models are transitioning from _multimodal large language models_ (MLLMs) that merely ingest visual information to _unified multimodal models_ (UMMs) capable of native interleaved generation. This shift has sparked interest in using intermediate visualizations as a reasoning aid, akin to hum…

LAION-C: An Out-of-Distribution Benchmark for Web-Scale Vision Models

ICML 2025poster

Out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness is a desired property of computer vision models. Improving model robustness requires high-quality signals from robustness benchmarks to quantify progress. While various benchmark datasets such as ImageNet-C were proposed in the ImageNet era, most ImageNet-C corru…

Quantifying Uncertainty in Error Consistency: Towards Reliable Behavioral Comparison of Classifiers

NeurIPS 2025poster

Benchmarking models is a key factor for the rapid progress in machine learning (ML) research. Thus, further progress depends on improving benchmarking metrics. A standard metric to measure the behavioral alignment between ML models and human observers is error consistency (EC). EC allows for more fi…

Scale Alone Does not Improve Mechanistic Interpretability in Vision Models

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

In light of the recent widespread adoption of AI systems, understanding the internal information processing of neural networks has become increasingly critical. Most recently, machine vision has seen remarkable progress by scaling neural networks to unprecedented levels in dataset and model size. We…
