Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.
By learning the idiosyncrasies of accumulated layers of legacy systems, AI agents can preserve institutional knowledge and provide a unified interface to a range of services.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the key challenge isn't what they can do; it's how to design the human side of the equation.
What machine learning theorists learned using AI agents to generate proofs — and what comes next.

WACV 2025 Workshop on Physical Retail in AI2025This paper investigates multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) for predicting product features from images, comparing fine-tuned versus proprietary models. We introduce two domain-specific benchmarks: (1) Inductive Bias vs. Image Evidence (IBIE) Benchmark, which evaluates MLLMs’ ability to distinguish between image-derived features and latent knowledge, and (2) Catalog-bench, which assesses feature prediction

2025General vision-language models (VLMs) trained on web data struggle to understand and converse about real-world e-commerce product images. We propose a cost-efficient approach for collecting training data to train a generative VLM for e-commerce product images. The key idea is to leverage large-scale, loosely-coupled image-text pairs from e-commerce stores, use a pre-trained LLM to generate multi-modal instruction-following

2025Automated construction of shopping cart from medical prescriptions is a vital prerequisite for scaling up online pharmaceutical services in emerging markets due to the high prevalence of paper prescriptions that are challenging for customers to interpret. We present RxLens, a multi-step end-end Large Language Model (LLM)-based deployed solution for automated pharmacy cart construction comprising multiple

Large Language Models (LLMs) are known to hallucinate and generate non-factual outputs which can undermine user trust. Traditional methods to directly mitigate hallucinations, such as representation editing and contrastive decoding, often require additional training data and involve high implementation complexity. While ensemble-based approaches harness multiple LLMs to tap into the "wisdom of crowds",

WACV 2025 Workshop on Synthetic Realities and Data in Biometric Analysis and Security2025Diffusion models have revolutionized the landscape of generative AI, particularly in the application of text-to-image generation. However, their powerful capability of generating high-fidelity images raises significant security concerns on the malicious use of the state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-image diffusion models, notably the risks of misusing personal photos and copyright infringement through the
