[1/4] The human eye doesn't process every single pixel of a video continuously—it focuses on what changes.
So why are our video AI models wasting compute on redundant frames?
Introducing Swift Sampling: a test-time technique inspired by the human visual system. 🧠👇
Thanks for hosting me today @YuanqiD !
Happening now! Come say hi to @xavierohan
Do VLMs truly reason or memorize data? We show
❗even transformations like rotation & scaling still throw them off
❗finetuning fails to generalize across domains

Thank you @GoodfireAI for supporting my research group's research on interpretability of multi-modal LLMs. Excited to use Silico! 🚀

Please join us in congratulating Deepti Ghadiyaram on her new role as the co-director of our Artificial Intelligence Research Initiative (AIR)! Deepti has been a core faculty member of AIR since summer of 2024 and will co-direct with Kate Saenko. Read more: spr.ly/6010BGJeSO
The scale and the effect of the destruction that was caused in just a few minutes during the floods is heart wrenching.
One hundred days by Alice Pung was a hard but a great book to get through. I did the equivalent of Joey (from Friends) putting the book he is scared to read further in the freezer. I admired how Karuna learns to stand her ground and stops the generational trauma with her.

Thank you to @deeptigp for the amazing lecture and for the rich interactions with all the students at ACVSS 26 Ghana.
VLMs lack geometric invariance: xthomasbu.github.io/visual_i…
- Rotate / scale an object: perf. breaks down.
- Models perform best on real photos & worse on sketches (data memorization)
❌Scale, prompting does not fix.

It's been an incredible year, with wonderful collaborators and a CAREER award I'm grateful for. I got a lot of feedback on mine, so I want to do the same for others. Opening office hours for faculty writing/thinking about #NSFCAREER proposals. Bring a draft, questions, or just chat.

We show how easy it is to break omni-MLLMs with very subtle audio and multimodal attacks.
1. Audio only attacks effect visual only questions
2. Audio attacks can fool content moderation systems.

Kudos to @TianleChen14 👏
A great event to learn about the latest Mech Interpretability research. Save the date and attend!
I just published a story: "Something blue" medium.com/p/something-blue-…
Our group has a strong presence with several talks and posters at workshops and the main conference at #CVPR2026. Please stop by and talk to @dahye_kim @TianleChen14 @xavierohan Youngsun Lim
[3/4] Swift Sampling
🏎️ retains "temporal surprises."
⚡ Test-time technique (no retraining needed)
📉 Adds < 0.02x overhead to your pipeline
🏆 Outperforms complex, computationally intensive
query-based algorithms across 10+ vision tasks.
[4/4] Swift Sampling is a game-changer for long video reasoning with strict frame budgets -- we saw accuracy jumps of up to +12.5 points! 📈
