The Dangers of trusting Stochastic Parrots: Faithfulness and Trust in Open-domain Conversational Question Answering (2023.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Empirical studies of dialogue have shown that people use different kinds of context-dependent linguistic behavior to indicate grounding, including use of fragments, ellipsis and pronominal reference.
Approach: They propose to use open-domain question answering systems as test-bed for task based dialog generation and compare open- and closed-book models to test their hypothesis.
Outcome: The proposed model parrots user input while providing an unfaithful response.
AlanaVLM: A Multimodal Embodied AI Foundation Model for Egocentric Video Understanding (2024.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Current Vision-Language Models (VLMs) focus on third-person view videos, neglecting the richness of egocentric perceptual experience.
Approach: They propose to use the Egocentric Video Understanding Dataset (EVUD) to train VLMs on video captioning and question answering tasks specific to egocentric videos.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms open-source models including strong Socratic models using GPT-4 as a planner by 3.6% and outperformed Claude 3 and Gemini Pro Vision 1.0.
