Machine unlearning has emerged as a tool for removing personal data from trained models to comply with recent AI regulations. To evaluate unlearning effectiveness in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), prior works fine-tune models on fictitious identities, simulating unlear…
To improve safety in Large Language Models (LLMs) we can either perform post-training alignment or exploit refusal directions in the activation space. Both strategies are less feasible in Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) as they require unsafe multimodal data, harder to collect than their…
Personalizing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) aims to recognize users' unique concepts from visual data and provide personalized responses. Although prior work has shown the benefit of concept descriptions and reasoning for this task, MLLM descriptions often include info…
Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curation strategies. We introduce DataComp for VLMs (DCVLM), a benchmark for controlled data-centric expe…
