Excited our work got accepted at #NeurIPS2025 last week 🎉
We design curriculum strategies to train models under test-time constraints.
👉 Result: LLMs that solve math reasoning with compressed CoT — same accuracy, faster inference 🚀
More details soon
See you in San Diego ✈️

FGVC12 Workshop accepted to CVPR 2025, Nashville!
CALL FOR PAPERS: sites.google.com/view/fgvc12…
We discuss domains where expert knowledge is typically required and investigate artificial systems that can distinguish numerous very similar visual concepts.

Humbled to see @MIT spotlighting our research on language-based image retrieval!
Through this work we created a retrieval benchmark to test AI models under a challenging biodiversity monitoring setting, aiming to inspire new methods and accelerate scientific discovery.
Could multimodal vision language models (VLMs) help biodiversity researchers retrieve images for their studies? 🤔
MIT CSAIL, @ucl, @inaturalist, @EdinburghUni, & @UMassAmherst researchers designed a performance test to find out. Each VLM’s task: Locate & reorganize the most relevant results w/i the team’s "INQUIRE" dataset, composed of five million wildlife pictures & 250 search prompts from ecologists & other biodiversity experts: bit.ly/4iy8kU6

I'm excited to present INQUIRE at #NeurIPS2024 this week!
DM me or drop by to catch up about anything-- AI for scientific discovery, synthetic data, reasoning, reliability, etc!

Interested in species distribution modelling? If so, check out our recent work where we introduce a new model that can estimate the spatial range of a species from only a text description as input.
Max Hamilton will be at #NeurIPS2024 this week to present it.

Check out Eddie and Omiros' work introducing our new vision-language retrieval dataset INQUIRE which will be presented at #NeurIPS2024 next week.
@EdwardVendrow @panom1
Check out INQUIRE, our new text-to-image retrieval dataset that challenges multimodal AI models. The paper introducing the dataset and benchmarks will be presented at #NeurIPS2024 next week!

In Generalized Category Discovery (GCD), the goal is to train models that can discover new categories using knowledge learned from a labelled dataset.

🔬Scientific discovery is one of the most exciting use cases for AI.
Today at the ECCV @EvalFomo workshop I’ll present a poster on our newly accepted @NeurIPSConf paper on benchmarking scientific discovery in image collections. Come by and stay tuned for more!
📍Amber 5, 3:15
Are you in Milan attending @eccvconf and interested in learning what #MultimodalAI can do for natural world image retrieval? Join the "Emergent Visual Abilities and Limits of Foundation Models" workshop where @EdwardVendrow will be presenting our @NeurIPSConf accepted paper
