Uncovering Competency Gaps in Large Language Models and Their Benchmarks

ICML 2026poster

The evaluation of large language models relies heavily on standardized benchmarks. These benchmarks provide useful aggregated metrics, but can obscure (i) particular sub-areas where the models are weak ("model gaps") (ii) imbalanced coverage in the benchmarks themselves ("benchmark gaps"). To automa…

Directed Diffusion: Direct Control of Object Placement through Attention Guidance

AAAI 2024technical

Text-guided diffusion models such as DALLE-2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion are able to generate an effectively endless variety of images given only a short text prompt describing the desired image content. In many cases the images are of very high quality. However, these models often struggle to com…

FakeInversion: Learning to Detect Images from Unseen Text-to-Image Models by Inverting Stable Diffusion

CVPR 2024poster

Due to the high potential for abuse of GenAI systems the task of detecting synthetic images has recently become of great interest to the research community. Unfortunately existing image space detectors quickly become obsolete as new high-fidelity text-to-image models are developed at blinding speed.…

NewsStories: Illustrating Articles with Visual Summaries

ECCV 2022poster

"Recent self-supervised approaches have used large-scale image-text datasets to learn powerful representations that transfer to many tasks without finetuning. These methods often assume that there is one-to-one correspondence between its images and their (short) captions. However, many tasks require…

MentorNet: Learning Data-Driven Curriculum for Very Deep Neural Networks on Corrupted Labels

ICML 2018oral

Recent deep networks are capable of memorizing the entire data even when the labels are completely random. To overcome the overfitting on corrupted labels, we propose a novel technique of learning another neural network, called MentorNet, to supervise the training of the base deep networks, namely,…

Improving the Robustness of Deep Neural Networks via Stability Training

CVPR 2016poster

In this paper we address the issue of output instability of deep neural networks: small perturbations in the visual input can significantly distort the feature embeddings and output of a neural network. Such instability affects many deep architectures with state-of-the-art performance on a wide rang…

MatchNet: Unifying Feature and Metric Learning for Patch-Based Matching

CVPR 2015poster

Motivated by recent successes on learning feature representations and on learning feature comparison functions, we propose a unified approach to combining both for training a patch matching system. Our system, dubbed MatchNet, consists of a deep convolutional network that extracts features from pa…
