Improving Causal Interventions in Amnesic Probing with Mean Projection or LEACE (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Amnesic probing examines the influence of specific linguistic information on the behaviour of a model by identifying and removing a property and then testing whether the model can still perform well on next-word prediction. |
| Approach: | They propose to use iterative nullspace projection to remove information by iterating on the target property and then assessing whether the model's performance changes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods remove information in a more targeted manner, thereby enhancing the potential for obtaining behavioural explanations through Amnesic Probing. |

| Challenge: | Currently, most vision-language models are trained on English-centric data, limiting their usability for non-English-speaking users. |
| Approach: | They reproduce and adapt LLaVA-Next methodology to create Polish VLMs . they use a fully automated pipeline for translating and filtering existing multimodal datasets based on Polish data for OCR and culturally specific tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on a Polish-adapted model and shows higher quality captions in generative evaluations. |
