End-to-end Vision-language Models (VLMs) often answer visual questions by exploiting spurious correlations instead of causal visual evidence, and can become more shortcut-prone when fine-tuned. We introduce VISTA (Visual-Information…
Natural language provides a widely accessible and expressive interface for robotic agents. To understand language in complex environments, agents must reason about the full range of language inputs and their correspondence to the world.…
Despite remarkable advances in automated visual recognition by machines, some visual tasks remain challenging for machines. Fleuret et al. (2011) introduced the Synthetic Visual Reasoning Test (SVRT) to highlight this point, which required…
We consider a class of visual analogical reasoning problems that involve discovering the sequence of transformations by which pairs of input/output images are related, so as to analogously transform future inputs. This program synthesis…
Machine learning practitioners often need to compare multiple models to select the best one for their application. However, current methods of comparing models fall short because they rely on aggregate metrics that can be difficult to…
