Contamination Detection for VLMs using Multi-Modal Semantic Perturbation

arXiv — cs.LGFriday, November 7, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
A recent paper discusses the issue of contamination in Vision-Language Models (VLMs), highlighting how the use of proprietary pretraining data can lead to inflated performance metrics due to test-set leakage. This is a significant concern for both developers and users of these models, as it questions the reliability of their results. The authors suggest that while there have been efforts to address this issue through data decontamination and redesigning benchmarks, more work is needed to ensure the integrity of VLMs in practical applications.

Cascading multi-agent anomaly detection in surveillance systems via vision-language models and embedding-based classification
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new framework for cascading multi-agent anomaly detection in surveillance systems has been introduced, utilizing vision-language models and embedding-based classification to enhance real-time performance and semantic interpretability. This approach integrates various methodologies, including reconstruction-gated filtering and object-level assessments, to address the complexities of detecting anomalies in dynamic visual environments.
VMMU: A Vietnamese Multitask Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of VMMU, a Vietnamese Multitask Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark, aims to assess the capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) in interpreting and reasoning over visual and textual information in Vietnamese. This benchmark includes 2.5k multimodal questions across seven diverse tasks, emphasizing genuine multimodal integration rather than text-only cues.
