Active learning reduces labeling costs by selecting samples that maximize information gain. A dominant framework, Query-by-Committee (QBC), typically relies on perturbation-based diversity by inducing model disagreement through random feature subsetting or data blinding. While this approximates one notion of epistemic uncertainty, it sacrifices direct characterization of the plausible hypothesis space. We propose the complementary approach: Rashomon Ensembled Active Learning (REAL) which constructs a committee by exhaustively enumerating the Rashomon Set of all near-optimal models. To address functional redundancy within this set, we adopt a PAC-Bayesian framework using a Gibbs posterior to weight committee members by their empirical risk. Leveraging recent algorithmic advances, we exactly enumerate this set for the class of sparse decision trees. Across synthetic and established active learning baselines, REAL outperforms randomized ensembles, particularly in moderately noisy environments where it strategically leverages expanded model multiplicity to achieve faster convergence.

The current paradigm of evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) through static benchmarks comes with significant limitations, such as vulnerability to data contamination and a lack of adaptability to the evolving capabilities of LLMs.

However, practical model deployment often operates in the gap between these two limit cases, as real-world applications demand adaptation to specific subdomains, tasks or concepts -- spread over the entire, varying life cycle of a model.

In the visual spatial understanding (VSU) area, spatial image-to-text (SI2T) and spatial text-to-image (ST2I) are two fundamental tasks that appear in dual form. Existing methods for standalone SI2T or ST2I perform imperfectly in spatial understanding, due to the difficulty of 3D-wise spatial feature modeling.

The word embedding space in neural models is skewed, and correcting this can improve task performance.
