While large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable adaptability to downstream applications, their fine-tuning process remains susceptible to bias under long-tailed data. Compared to zero-shot scenarios, fine-tuning LVLMs on imbalanced datasets often yields limited performance improveme…
Although Vision Language Models (VLMs) have excelled at image and video understanding, applying them to hour-long videos is held back by two interrelated challenges: exorbitant computational expense and a qualitative breakdown in long-term temporal reasoning. Thus, models tend to generate answers ba
Referring Multi-Object Tracking (RMOT) aims to track multiple objects based on a provided language expression. Although prior studies have sought to accomplish this by integrating an textual module into the multi-object tracker, these methods combine text and image features in a basic way, neglectin…
Visual Entity Linking (VEL) is a crucial task for achieving fine-grained visual understanding, matching objects within images (visual mentions) to entities in a knowledge base. Previous VEL tasks rely on textual inputs, but writing queries for complex scenes can be challenging. Visual inputs like cl…
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting combined with large language models (LLM) has shown great potential in improving performance on challenging reasoning tasks. While understanding why CoT prompting is effective is crucial for the application and improvement of CoT prompting, few studies have addressed…
Large language models (LLMs) have acquired the ability to solve general tasks by utilizing instruction finetuning (IFT). However, IFT still relies heavily on instance training of extensive task data, which greatly limits the adaptability of LLMs to real-world scenarios where labeled task instances a…
While large language models (LLMs) excel in many domains, their complexity and scale challenge deployment in resource-limited environments. Current compression techniques, such as parameter pruning, often fail to effectively utilize the knowledge from pruned parameters. To address these challenges,…
Intent detection, which estimates diverse intents behind user utterances, is an essential component of task-oriented dialogue systems. Previous intent detection models are usually trained offline, which can only handle predefined intent classes. In the real world, new intents may keep challenging de…
Conventional approaches to relation extraction can only recognize predefined relation types. In the real world, new or out-of-scope relation types may keep challenging the deployed models. In this paper, we formalize such a challenging problem as Novel Relation Detection (NRD), which aims to discove…
