🚨 🚨 Excited to share our latest paper, now on #arXiv!

🖼️ We studied how unified VLMs, trained to generate both text and images (e.g., Meta's Chameleon), exchange information between modalities, comparing them to standard VLMs.

📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.06646

Excited to share that 2/2 papers from our Lab @AreaSciencePark were accepted to #NeurIPS2025 (one spotlight 🎉)

Great work everyone!

Nice start of @neuripsconf.bsky.social!

Our work with @francescortu.bsky.social and @diegodoimo.bsky.social on the Competition of Mechanisms to understand counterfactuality in LLMs featured in the "Causality for LLMs" workshop :-)

Even as an interpretable ML researcher, I wasn't sure what to make of Mechanistic Interpretability, which seemed to come out of nowhere not too long ago.

But then I found the paper "Mechanistic?" by
@nsaphra.bsky.social and @sarah-nlp.bsky.social, which clarified things.
