Early signs of deception, cheating & self-preservation in top-performing models in terms of reasoning are extremely worrisome. We don't know how to guarantee AI won't have undesired behavior to reach goals & this must be addressed before deploying powerful autonomous agents.

🎉 Exciting news from our team!

The final paper of @aicoffeebreak.bsky.social's PhD journey is accepted at #ICLR2025! 🙌 🖼️📄

Check out her original post below for more details on Vision & Language Models (VLMs), their modality use and their self-consistency 🔥
The last paper of my PhD is accepted at ICLR 2025! 🙌 🎊
We investigate the reliance of modern Vision & Language Models (VLMs) on image🖼️ vs. text📄 inputs when generating answers vs. explanations, revealing fascinating insights into their modality use and self-consistency. Takeaways: 👇
Do Vision & Language Decoders use Images and Text equally? How Self-consistent are their Explanations?
Vision and language model (VLM) decoders are currently the best-performing architectures on multimodal tasks. Next to answers, they are able to produce natural language explanations, either in post-ho...

Nice way to test when AI can replace human evaluators & judges, it compares if LLMs align better with group consensus than individual human evaluators do

GPT-4 & Gemini pass the test in 8/10 tasks, but struggle with deep contextual understanding. Few-shot learning helps. arxiv.org/abs/2501.10970
