arXiv:2603. 18481v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection remains a critical challenge in open-world learning, where models must adapt to evolving data distributions.
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection remains challenging for image classifiers, especially when near-OOD samples lie close to in-distribution (ID) class boundaries. Recent vision-language detectors imp...
arXiv:2608. 15802v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection remains challenging for image classifiers, especially when near-OOD samples lie close to in-distribution (ID) class boundaries.
The paper introduces visual adaptations of counterfactual tests—vCT and vCCT—to evaluate whether chain-of-thought explanations in vision‑language models faithfully reflect the visual evidence driving predictions. Using these tests, the authors benchmark eight open‑source VLMs on two datasets and find that CoTs often fail to track visual evidence, sometimes omitting removed objects or mentioning them inconsistently. They also release two new datasets, Counter‑SNLI‑VE and Counter‑A‑OKVQA, consisting of image pairs that differ by a single object to facilitate further research.
arXiv:2606. 24716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly used to extract interpretable concepts from vision and vision language models, yet existing evaluation methods largely rely on proxy metrics or qualitative inspection rather than measuring semantic correspondence.
arXiv:2609.01027v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection predicts whether a test image belongs to none of the predefined classes. To evaluate this task, benchmarks need ima...
