Disentangled Representational Learning with the Gromov-Monge Gap
Learning disentangled representations from unlabelled data is a fundamental challenge in machine learning. Solving it may unlock other problems, such as generalization, interpretability, or fairness. Although remarkably challenging to solve in theory, disentanglement is often achieved in practice through prior matching. Furthermore, recent works have shown that prior matching approaches can be enhanced by leveraging …

Scaling Laws for Native Multimodal Models
Building general-purpose models that can effectively perceive the world through multimodal signals has been a long-standing goal. Current approaches involve integrating separately pre-trained components, such as connecting vision encoders to LLMs and continuing multimodal training. While such approaches exhibit remarkable sample efficiency, it remains an open question whether such late-fusion architectures are inherently superior. In …
Automate Amazon EKS troubleshooting using an Amazon Bedrock agentic workflow
As organizations scale their Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) deployments, platform administrators face increasing challenges in efficiently managing multi-tenant clusters. Tasks such as investigating pod failures, addressing resource constraints, and resolving misconfiguration can consume significant time and effort. Instead of spending valuable engineering hours manually parsing logs, tracking metrics, and implementing fixes, teams should …

FocalLens: Instruction Tuning Enables Zero-Shot Conditional Image Representations
This paper was accepted at the Workshop on Foundation Models in the Wild at ICLR 2025. Visual understanding is inherently contextual – what we focus on in an image depends on the task at hand. For instance, given an image of a person holding a bouquet of flowers, we may focus on either the person …
