SpurLens: Automatic Detection of Spurious Cues in Multimodal LLMs

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2503. 08884v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unimodal vision models are known to rely on spurious correlations, but it remains unclear to what extent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit similar biases despite language supervision.
