The paper introduces ViD, a vision‑dominant gender bias mitigation framework for large vision‑language models. ViD uses causal analysis of attention patterns and dual mechanisms—backdoor adjustment and refined token selection—to suppress bias while preserving reasoning and generation quality. Experiments show a 14.7% reduction in gender bias on FACET and significant improvements on MS COCO image captioning, all without extra training overhead.

Personality recognition in asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) has become increasingly important due to their widespread adoption in modern recruitment. Existing approaches often rely on large language models (LLMs) to analyze textual responses of interviewees in AVI.

arXiv:2606. 11930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting psychological traits from asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) is a challenging multimodal learning problem because labeled datasets are limited while each response contains high-dimensional visual, acoustic, and verbal signals.

The paper introduces MObyGaze, a dataset of 20 films annotated by experts for multimodal objectification, covering 6072 segments across 43 hours of video. It defines objectification through a structured thesaurus of 5 sub‑constructs and 11 concepts spanning visual, speech, and audio modalities. The authors formulate learning tasks, explore label diversity strategies, and benchmark vision, text, and audio models to demonstrate the task’s feasibility.

The paper introduces a training‑free method for personalizing vision‑language models by using calibrated residual decoding. It constructs three evidence conditions—positive, counterfactual, and empty profiles—to isolate the true contribution of personalization. Normalized‑entropy calibration adjusts the influence of this residual signal based on its uncertainty, improving identity‑sensitive visual personalization without fine‑tuning.
