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.

DiaVLo is a diagnostic framework for vision‑language models (VLMs) that uses human curation and VLM generation to create specifications of desired and observed behaviours, revealing potential misalignments. It also offers causal estimates to pinpoint the most influential concepts driving VLM behaviour. Experiments on several open‑source VLMs under classification and generation tasks show that DiaVLo’s behaviour labels correlate with model performance and illuminate how VLMs perceive, organise, and prioritise concepts.

arXiv:2607. 24516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While data curation for Vision Language Models (VLMs) is increasingly active, public practice for constructing pretraining mixtures remains largely heuristic: practitioners stack datasets that pass quality filters, set cross-domain ratios by intuition, and lack a principled, attributable criterion for admitting new data, while frontier recipes remain undisclosed.
