Anette Frank giving a talk on behalf of Annie Zaenen’s honorary doctorate at Konstanz University
News Update from the HD-NLP Group and collaborators with new new publications in the Journal of NLP and EMNLP 2024, as well as recent and upcoming talks!
Let's dive in!
Her thesis "Measuring Contributions of Vision & Text Modalities in Multi- modal Transformers"
provides new metrics to examine the capabilities of VLMs and
to explore fundamental questions on multimodal fusion.
-- Congratulations, Letitia!
