Research highlights
Vision Language Models (VLMs) enable visual understanding alongside textual inputs. They are typically built by passing visual tokens from a pretrained vision encoder to a pretrained Large Language Model (LLM) through a projection layer. By leveraging the rich visual representations of the vision encoder and the world knowledge and reasoning capabilities of the LLM, VLMs can be useful for a wide range of applications, including accessibility...

Apple Workshop on Human-Centered Machine Learning 2024
July 24, 2025research area Accessibility, research area Fairness, research area Human-Computer Interaction
A human-centered approach to machine learning (HCML) involves designing ML machine learning & AI technology that prioritizes the needs and values of the people using it. This leads to AI that complements and enhances human capabilities, rather than replacing them. Research in the area of HCML includes the development of transparent and interpretable machine learning systems to help people feel safer using AI, as well as strategies for…
