The research on vision-language models (VLMs) has gained significant momentum, driven by their potential to revolutionize various applications, including visual assistance for visually impaired individuals. However, current evaluations of these models often need to pay more attention to the complexities introduced by multi-object scenarios and diverse cultural contexts. Two notable studies shed light on these…
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have various applications in visual tasks. MLLMs rely on the visual features extracted from an image to understand its content. When a low-resolution image containing fewer pixels is provided as input, it translates less information to these models to work with. Due to this limitation, these models often need to…
Humans are versatile; they can quickly apply what they’ve learned from little examples to larger contexts by combining new and old information. Not only can they foresee possible setbacks and determine what is important for success, but they swiftly learn to adjust to different situations by practicing and receiving feedback on what works. This process…
