Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved success in tasks such as visual question answering, yet their resilience to distractions remains underexplored. Understanding how distractions affect VLMs
As video language models (VLMs) gain more applications in various scenarios, the need for robust and scalable evaluation of their performance becomes increasingly critical. The traditional human expert-based evaluation of VLMs has limitations in consistency and scalability, which sparked interest in…
Unified multimodal large language models (U-MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance in end-to-end visual understanding and generation tasks. However, compared to generation-only systems (e.g., Stable Diffusion), the unified architecture of U-MLLMs introduces new risks of propagating demograp…
The collected data in recommender systems generally suffers selection bias. Considerable works are proposed to address selection bias induced by observed user and item features, but they fail when hidden features (e.g., user age or salary) that affect both user selection mechanism and feedback exist…
Large language models (LLMs) show excellent performance in difficult tasks, but they often require massive memories and computational resources. How to reduce the parameter scale of LLMs has become research hotspots. In this study, we get an important observation that the multi-head self-attention (…
Biomedical entity linking is an essential task in biomedical text processing, which aims to map entity mentions in biomedical text, such as clinical notes, to standard terms in a given knowledge base. However, this task is challenging due to the rarity of many biomedical entities in real-world scen…
Entity linking, which aligns mentions in the text to entities in knowledge bases, is essential for many natural language processing tasks. Considering the real-world scenarios, recent research hotspot of entity linking has focused on the zero-shot setting, where mentions need to link to unseen entit…
