We adapt Stevens's power law to measure the innate ability of AI models to read visualizations, which can reveal the built-in perceptual mechanisms of algorithmic models. In our pilot study, models se...
arXiv:2602. 15278v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The web is littered with images, once created for human consumption and now increasingly interpreted by agents using vision-language models (VLMs).
The paper argues that explainable AI for computer vision has focused too much on developing interpretability methods rather than assessing how interpretable the models themselves are. It proposes a shift toward model-centric evaluation, using existing tools to compare what different models represent and compute, and emphasizes the need to measure whether humans can truly understand these models. The authors review the current toolbox, survey limited model comparison work, draw parallels to systems neuroscience, and outline a future agenda for model-focused XAI.
arXiv:2606. 28510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Across social and online platforms, people are increasingly exposed to AI-generated images.
arXiv:2602. 02465v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Frontier models are transitioning from multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that merely ingest visual information to unified multimodal models (UMMs) capable of native interleaved generation.
arXiv:2609.01383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision Language Models have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in interpreting static visual artifacts, but modern data analysis is inherently dynamic...
