I’ll be presenting TABLET at #ICLR2026 this week! Our 4 million example Visual Table Understanding dataset with original table visualisations! Come and say hi! :D We’ll have actual Scottish tablets 👀
See you all on Friday at 7:15 PM Pavilion 4 P4-#3606

Reasoning models are powerful, but they burn thousands of tokens on potentially wrong interpretations for ambiguous requests!
👉 We teach models to think about intent first and provide all interpretations and answers in a single response via RL with dual reward.

Excited to share my first work as a PhD student at @EdinburghNLP that I will be presenting at EMNLP!
RQ1: Can we achieve scalable oversight across modalities via debate?
Yes! We show that debating VLMs lead to better model quality of answers for reasoning tasks.

Atzo eta gaur euskarazko ereduen artean onena aukeratzen utzi diegu #IEB2024|ko parte hartzaileei. Mila esker deneri!!
Sistema komertzialez gain HiTZ garatzen ari den Latxa 🐑berri txikiena ere probatu dugu, 8B tamainakoa. Llama 3.1-en oinarritzen da.
Eta irabazlea… 🥁

New paper: "What's New in My Data? Novelty Exploration via Contrastive Generation," w/ @iatitov at @EdinburghNLP
arxiv.org/abs/2410.14765
With no access to the data, but only access to the pre-trained and fine-tuned model, we can reveal novel aspects of the fine-tuning dataset.

(Sadly?) on my way back from my solo trip in Southern Asia. I have biked in the rice fields, swum with elephants in the north of Thailand and encountered wild orangutans in the Bornean jungle. I'm basically Julia Roberts now.
Any cool pictures from your post-#ACL2024NLP trip? 👀

Hey! I will be presenting our work, PixT3: Pixel-based Table-To-Text Generation, tomorrow at Poster Session 1 at 11:00AM during #ACL2024NLP Come and say hi! :D

Reimagining table representation! In our new #ACL2024NLP paper we introduce PixT3: a family of image-based Table-to-Text Generation models that scale better at generating text from large tables, outperforming traditional text-based baselines. arxiv.org/abs/2311.09808

Conclusions: (i) Overall performance of LLMs with or without RAG still has large room for improvement; (ii) Performance for non-English languages substantially lower - stresses urgent need of advancing Medical QA in languages different to English
English
Highlights: (i) MedExpQA: the first multilingual benchmark for MedicalQA including gold reference explanations; (ii) Exhaustive comparison of gold reference explanations with respect to automatically retrieved medical knowledge using state-of-the-art RAG techniques

LLMs are the de facto building block in recent multimodal models. Yet, it is still unclear why text-only models can generalize to multimodal inputs!
We investigate why, and provide insights with practical implications on performance, efficiency and safety problems. (1/10)
