Ongoing Collaborations

We are working in collaboration with multiple labs and professors around the world. Each collaboration pairs our work on vision and interpretability with a partner group's expertise on a shared research problem.

Current research directions

  • Open Vocabulary Detection

    We build detectors that find objects named in free-form text, not a fixed label set. The work studies how well these models generalize to unseen categories and where they fail.

  • Physics-Based VLMs

    We study vision-language models that reason about physical quantities such as motion, scale, and force. The goal is to ground model answers in physical laws and check that they hold.
