Join us this week for an in-depth discussion on Compositional Learning in the context of cutting-edge text-to-image generative models. We will explore recent breakthroughs and challenges, focusing on how these models handle compositional tasks and where improvements can be made.
✅ This Week's Presentation:
🔹 Title: Counting Understanding in Visoin Lanugate Models
🔸 Presenter: Arash Marioriyad
🌀 Abstract: Counting-related challenges represent some of the most significant compositional understanding failure modes in vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP. While humans, even in early stages of development, readily generalize over numerical concepts, these models often struggle to accurately interpret numbers beyond three, with the difficulty intensifying as the numerical value increases. In this presentation, we explore the counting-related limitations of VLMs and examine the proposed solutions within the field to address these issues.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
Telegram announces Anonymous Admins
The cloud-based messaging platform is also adding Anonymous Group Admins feature. As per Telegram, this feature is being introduced for safer protests. As per the Telegram blog post, users can “Toggle Remain Anonymous in Admin rights to enable Batman mode. The anonymized admin will be hidden in the list of group members, and their messages in the chat will be signed with the group name, similar to channel posts.”
