Vision-Language Pretraining: Current Trends and the Future

no code implementations ACL 2022 Aishwarya Agrawal, Damien Teney, Aida Nematzadeh

In addition to the larger pretraining datasets, the transformer architecture (Vaswani et al., 2017) and in particular self-attention applied to two modalities are responsible for the impressive performance of the recent pretrained models on downstream tasks (Hendricks et al., 2021).

Predicting is not Understanding: Recognizing and Addressing Underspecification in Machine Learning

no code implementations6 Jul 2022 Damien Teney, Maxime Peyrard, Ehsan Abbasnejad

Underspecification refers to the existence of multiple models that are indistinguishable in their in-domain accuracy, even though they differ in other desirable properties such as out-of-distribution (OOD) performance.

V-PROM: A Benchmark for Visual Reasoning Using Visual Progressive Matrices

no code implementations29 Jul 2019 Damien Teney, Peng Wang, Jiewei Cao, Lingqiao Liu, Chunhua Shen, Anton Van Den Hengel

One of the primary challenges faced by deep learning is the degree to which current methods exploit superficial statistics and dataset bias, rather than learning to generalise over the specific representations they have experienced.
