Interview with William Yijiang Li: vision language models and the physical world

AIHub

At the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026),, and presented their work Vision Language Models Cannot Reason About Physical Transformation . In this interview, William Yijiang Li tells us more about the research, the method the team used, and the controlled experiments they carried out. What is the topic of the research in your paper and why is it an interesting area for study? Our research asks a fairly fundamental question: do vision-language models actually understand how the physical world changes over time? Modern vision-language models are increasingly being used in areas such as robotics, embodied agents, and video understanding.

Hundreds of experts warn the world must prepare now for AI's impact

Al Jazeera

Hundreds of experts warn the world must prepare now for AI's impact Hundreds of experts have signed an open letter demanding that policymakers and technology leaders "must act now" to prepare for the economic impact of artificial intelligence. The brief letter, released on Monday and organised by Stanford University's digital economy lab, carries the signature of more than 200 economists and AI researchers, including 16 Nobel laureates. "It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards," the statement added. To address this impending disruption, the letter calls for governments and industry to create "incentives, guardrails, and institutions" that ensure AI is complementary to humans and beneficial to society. Anton Korinek, a University of Virginia professor who organised the initiative, stressed that the window for action is narrowing.


Enhancing Visual Prompting through Expanded Transformation Space and Overfitting Mitigation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Visual prompting (VP) has emerged as a promising parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach for adapting pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks without modifying model parameters. Despite offering advantages like negligible computational overhead and compatibility with black-box models, conventional VP methods typically achieve lower accuracy than other adaptation approaches. Our analysis reveals two critical limitations: the restricted expressivity of simple additive transformation and a tendency toward overfitting when the parameter count increases. To address these challenges, we propose ACAVP (Affine, Color, and Additive Visual Prompting), which enhances VP's expressive power by introducing complementary transformation operations: affine transformation for creating task-specific prompt regions while preserving original image information, and color transformation for emphasizing task-relevant visual features. Additionally, we identify that overfitting is a critical issue in VP training and introduce TrivialAugment as an effective data augmentation, which not only benefits our approach but also significantly improves existing VP methods, with performance gains of up to 12 percentage points on certain datasets. This demonstrates that appropriate data augmentation is universally beneficial for VP training. Extensive experiments across twelve diverse image classification datasets with two different model architectures demonstrate that ACAVP achieves state-of-the-art accuracy among VP methods, surpasses linear probing in average accuracy, and exhibits superior robustness to distribution shifts, all while maintaining minimal computational overhead during inference. Our code is available at https://github.com/s-enmt/ACAVP.


Factorizable Normalizing Flows for parameter-dependent density morphing

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Normalizing Flows excel at modeling a single fixed density, yet many problems across the sciences, such as high energy physics, instead require modeling how that density deforms as a function of continuous parameters: the strength of a physical effect, a calibration constant, or a source of systematic uncertainty. Learning a separate flow for every parameter configuration quickly becomes intractable, since the number of joint settings grows exponentially with the number of parameters. We introduce Factorizable Normalizing Flows (FNFs), which represent the parameter-dependent density as a fixed, high-fidelity flow for a reference configuration composed with a learnable transformation that is polynomial in the parameters and factorized over them. This structure has a practical consequence: each parameter's effect is learned in isolation, from samples in which that parameter alone is varied. The combined response of many parameters is then recovered by summation at inference, without ever sampling their combinatorially large joint space. On a controlled problem with two interpretable deformations applied jointly to the data, the learned transformation reproduces the true deformations and matches the optimal likelihood, while optional interaction terms capture residual correlations when several parameters vary strongly at once. The resulting model is interpretable, scales linearly with the number of parameters, and keeps the likelihood tractable. This provides a general tool for any inference workflow requiring continuous density morphing, and directly enables the next generation of unbinned likelihood fits in high energy physics.
