Contextual inference from single objects in Vision-Language models

1. 1Present vision-language models with single objects on masked backgrounds to analyze contextual inference
2. 2Investigate the behavioral and mechanistic aspects of contextual inference in VLMs
3. 3Analyze the capacity of single objects to carry scene context in VLMs
4. 4Apply the findings to improve the robustness of VLMs

AI engineers and ML researchers can benefit from this study to improve the robustness of vision-language models, while data scientists can apply the findings to enhance model performance
