DiaVLo: Diagnosing Behaviours of Vision-Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.22008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) rely on storing and transferring appropriate information across their sub-components. Verifying that the VLMs exhibit desired behaviours, while avoiding harmful ones, is central to their reliable deployment. Yet, methods that identify VLM behaviours remain scarce. We present DiaVLo, a diagnostic framework that leverages human curation and VLMs' generation capabilities to construct specifications of desired and observed VLM behaviours, surfacing potential misalignments. Beyond this, DiaVLo also provides causal estim
