Large vision-language models such as CLIP have shown strong zero-shot classification performance by aligning images and text in a shared embedding space. However, CLIP models often develop multimodal spurious biases, the undesirable tendency to rely on spurious features. For example, CLIP may infer
Deep neural networks often develop spurious bias, reliance on correlations between non-essential features and classes for predictions. For example, a model may identify objects based on frequently co-occurring backgrounds rather than intrinsic features, resulting in degraded performance on data lack…
Personalized driving refers to an autonomous vehicle’s ability to adapt its driving behavior or control strategies to match individual users’ preferences and driving styles while maintaining safety and comfort standards. However, existing works either fail to capture every individual’s preference pr
In reinforcement learning from human feedback, preference-based reward models play a central role in aligning large language models to human-aligned behavior. However, recent studies show that these models are prone to reward hacking and often fail to generalize well due to over-optimization. They a…
Deep learning models often achieve high performance by inadvertently learning spurious correlations between targets and non-essential features. For example, an image classifier may identify an object via its background that spuriously correlates with it. This prediction behavior, known as spurious b
"Few-shot image classifiers are designed to recognize and classify new data with minimal supervision and limited data but often show reliance on spurious correlations between classes and spurious attributes, known as spurious bias. Spurious correlations commonly hold in certain samples and few-shot…
Autonomous driving (AD) has made significant strides in recent years. However existing frameworks struggle to interpret and execute spontaneous user instructions such as "overtake the car ahead." Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive reasoning capabilities showing potential to br…
Traditional autonomous driving systems have mainly focused on making driving decisions without human interaction, overlooking human-like decision-making and human preference required in complex traffic scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel framework leveraging Large Language Models (LL…
Deep neural classifiers tend to rely on spurious correlations between spurious attributes of inputs and targets to make predictions, which could jeopardize their generalization capability. Training classifiers robust to spurious correlations typically relies on annotations of spurious correlations i…
Vision-language generative AI has demonstrated remarkable promise for empowering cross-modal scene understanding of autonomous driving and high-definition (HD) map systems. However current benchmark datasets lack multi-modal point cloud image and language data pairs. Recent approaches utilize visual…
Though Transformers have achieved promising results in many computer vision tasks, they tend to be over-confident in predictions, as the standard Dot Product Self-Attention (DPSA) can barely preserve distance for the unbounded input domain. In this work, we fill this gap by proposing a novel Lipschi…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder with very high prevalence around the world. Research progress in the field of ASD facial analysis in pediatric patients has been hindered due to a lack of well-established baselines. In this paper, we propose the use of the Vis…
