I will personnaly stay far away from VLM for the time being, for anything remotely philological, following our experiments: arxiv.org/abs/2605.27750 I can do with OCR error, but plausible text is too dangerous for me. (we got a great OCR model btw if you need it: htrmopo.inria.fr/models/10.52... )

Want to play with corpora of the French 3rd Republic ? Want to join a nice team ? Want to do something else than LLM and have fun with smaller models as well ? Want to work with people in the humanities and the digital humanities ? Well, this might be for you 😄: jobs.inria.fr/public/class...

Check out our new paper led by @srishtiy.bsky.social and @nolauren.bsky.social! This work brings together computer vision, cultural theory, semiotics, and visual studies to provide new tools and perspectives for the study of ~culture~ in VLMs.

I am excited to announce our latest work 🎉 "Cultural Evaluations of Vision-Language Models Have a Lot to Learn from Cultural Theory". We review recent works on culture in VLMs and argue for deeper grounding in cultural theory to enable more inclusive evaluations. Paper 🔗: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22793
