Divergences between Language Models and Human Brains

1 code implementation15 Nov 2023 Yuchen Zhou, Emmy Liu, Graham Neubig, Michael J. Tarr, Leila Wehbe

In this work, we systematically explore the divergences between human and machine language processing by examining the differences between LM representations and human brain responses to language as measured by Magnetoencephalography (MEG) across two datasets in which subjects read and listened to narrative stories.

Open-Ended Instructable Embodied Agents with Memory-Augmented Large Language Models

no code implementations23 Oct 2023 Gabriel Sarch, Yue Wu, Michael J. Tarr, Katerina Fragkiadaki

Pre-trained and frozen large language models (LLMs) can effectively map simple scene rearrangement instructions to programs over a robot's visuomotor functions through appropriate few-shot example prompting.

BrainSCUBA: Fine-Grained Natural Language Captions of Visual Cortex Selectivity

no code implementations6 Oct 2023 Andrew F. Luo, Margaret M. Henderson, Michael J. Tarr, Leila Wehbe

Our results show that BrainSCUBA is a promising means for understanding functional preferences in the brain, and provides motivation for further hypothesis-driven investigation of visual cortex.

Thinking Like an Annotator: Generation of Dataset Labeling Instructions

no code implementations24 Jun 2023 Nadine Chang, Francesco Ferroni, Michael J. Tarr, Martial Hebert, Deva Ramanan

In Labeling Instruction Generation, we take a reasonably annotated dataset and: 1) generate a set of examples that are visually representative of each category in the dataset; 2) provide a text label that corresponds to each of the examples.

Quantifying the Roles of Visual, Linguistic, and Visual-Linguistic Complexity in Verb Acquisition

1 code implementation5 Apr 2023 Yuchen Zhou, Michael J. Tarr, Daniel Yurovsky

Based on these results, we conclude that verb acquisition is influenced by all three sources of complexity, but that the variability of visual structure poses the most significant challenge for verb learning.

TIDEE: Tidying Up Novel Rooms using Visuo-Semantic Commonsense Priors

1 code implementation21 Jul 2022 Gabriel Sarch, Zhaoyuan Fang, Adam W. Harley, Paul Schydlo, Michael J. Tarr, Saurabh Gupta, Katerina Fragkiadaki

We introduce TIDEE, an embodied agent that tidies up a disordered scene based on learned commonsense object placement and room arrangement priors.

Learning Neural Acoustic Fields

1 code implementation4 Apr 2022 Andrew Luo, Yilun Du, Michael J. Tarr, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Antonio Torralba, Chuang Gan

By modeling acoustic propagation in a scene as a linear time-invariant system, NAFs learn to continuously map all emitter and listener location pairs to a neural impulse response function that can then be applied to arbitrary sounds.

AlphaNet: Improving Long-Tail Classification By Combining Classifiers

1 code implementation17 Aug 2020 Nadine Chang, Jayanth Koushik, Aarti Singh, Martial Hebert, Yu-Xiong Wang, Michael J. Tarr

Methods in long-tail learning focus on improving performance for data-poor (rare) classes; however, performance for such classes remains much lower than performance for more data-rich (frequent) classes.

Learning Intermediate Features of Object Affordances with a Convolutional Neural Network

no code implementations20 Feb 2020 Aria Yuan Wang, Michael J. Tarr

Our ability to interact with the world around us relies on being able to infer what actions objects afford -- often referred to as affordances.

BOLD5000: A public fMRI dataset of 5000 images

3 code implementations5 Sep 2018 Nadine Chang, John A. Pyles, Abhinav Gupta, Michael J. Tarr, Elissa M. Aminoff

Vision science, particularly machine vision, has been revolutionized by introducing large-scale image datasets and statistical learning approaches.
