What makes an image memorable? And can we predict image memorability using pretrained vision encoders? We explored activations, attention distributions, image patch uniformity and sparse autoencoder losses using image representations across the layers of CLIP, DINOv2 and SigLIP2.

Many thanks to @dnliu.bsky.social for inviting me, and to the members of the group for their insightful questions! 😊✨
Last week @ecekt.bsky.social gave a great talk on her recent work "Model Merging to Maintain Language-Only Performance in Developmentally Plausible Multimodal Models"!
Thank you so much for joining us, Ece! 🌟

Just got back from Hawaii, where I presented a workshop paper on image memorability at @iccv.bsky.social 🌺 Coming from multimodal NLP, it was my first time attending a CV conference. Everywhere I looked, there were talks and posters that were incredibly interesting!

🌍Introducing BabyBabelLM: A Multilingual Benchmark of Developmentally Plausible Training Data!
LLMs learn from vastly more data than humans ever experience. BabyLM challenges this paradigm by focusing on developmentally plausible data
We extend this effort to 45 new languages!
