MAPL: Parameter-Efficient Adaptation of Unimodal Pre-Trained Models for Vision-Language Few-Shot Prompting (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large pre-trained models have proved to be remarkable zero- and (prompt-based) few-shot learners in unimodal vision and language tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to use frozen unimodal models to learn a lightweight mapping between the representation spaces of unimod models using aligned image-text data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can generalize to unseen VL tasks from a few in-context examples while training orders of magnitude fewer parameters. |
An Examination of the Robustness of Reference-Free Image Captioning Evaluation Metrics (2024.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have proposed reference-free evaluations of image captions . however, these approaches are restrictive and favor captions with similar vocabulary but different meanings. |
| Approach: | They propose to use reference-free metrics to evaluate image captions . they propose to combine lexical overlap and semantics to identify fine-grained errors . |
| Outcome: | The proposed metrics struggle to identify fine-grained errors, the authors show . CLIPScore, UMIC, and PAC-S are sensitive to variations in image-relevant objects mentioned in the caption . |
