Speaker: Katherine Xu – Language and Vision Working Group
VirtualTitle: Are Vision-Language Models Checking or Looking? Abstract: Today’s AI vision systems are trained on vast amounts of data, yet it remains unclear whether they simply retrieve memorized answers or actively reason. We conjecture that hallucinations and limited creativity in these models stem from an over-reliance on superficial "checking" rather than active "looking." Checking retrieves the…

Lecture Series in AI: Richard Zemel
Davis Auditorium 530 W 120th St, New York, NY 10027, New York, NYGeneral website Title: Integrating Past and Present in Continual Learning Abstract: Continual learning aims to bridge the gap between typical human and machine-learning environments. The continual setting does not have separate training and testing phases, and instead models are evaluated online while learning novel concepts and tasks. The most capable current AI systems struggle to…
