Dissecting Multimodal In-Context Learning: Modality Asymmetries and Circuit Dynamics in modern Transformers

ICML 2026spotlight

Transformer-based multimodal large language models often exhibit in-context learning (ICL) capabilities. Motivated by this phenomenon, we ask: how do transformers learn to associate information across modalities from in-context examples? We investigate this through controlled experiments on small tr…

Revealing and Reducing Gender Biases in Vision and Language Assistants (VLAs)

ICLR 2025poster

Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have been reliably integrated with visual input for multimodal tasks. The widespread adoption of instruction-tuned image-to-text vision-language assistants (VLAs) like LLaVA and InternVL necessitates evaluating gender biases. We study gender bias in 22 popula…

Synthetic Knowledge Ingestion: Towards Knowledge Refinement and Injection for Enhancing Large Language Models

EMNLP 2024main

Large language models (LLMs) are proficient in capturing factual knowledge across various domains. However, refining their capabilities on previously seen knowledge or integrating new knowledge from external sources remains a significant challenge. In this work, we propose a novel synthetic knowledg…
