Non-Intrusive Adaptation: Input-Centric Parameter-efficient Fine-Tuning for Versatile Multimodal Modeling
Large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs) demonstrate excellent performance on a wide range of tasks by scaling up parameter counts from O(10^9) to O(10^{12}) levels and further beyond. These large scales make it impossible to adapt and deploy fully specialized models given a task of interest. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) emerges as a promising direction to tackle the adaptation and serving challenges for such large models. We categorize PEFT techniques into two types: intrusive and non-intrusive. Intrusive PEFT techniques directly change a model's internal architecture. Though more flexible, they introduce significant complexities for training and serving. Non-intrusive PEFT techniques leave the internal architecture unchanged and only adapt model-external parameters, such as embeddings for input. In this work, we describe AdaLink as a non-intrusive PEFT technique that achieves competitive performance compared to SoTA intrusive PEFT (LoRA) and full model fine-tuning (FT) on various tasks. We evaluate using both text-only and multimodal tasks, with experiments that account for both parameter-count scaling and training regime (with and without instruction tuning).

Ego-VPA: Egocentric Video Understanding with Parameter-efficient Adaptation
Video understanding typically requires fine-tuning the large backbone when adapting to new domains. In this paper, we leverage the egocentric video foundation models (Ego-VFMs) based on video-language pre-training and pr…
Video UnderstandingRetailSMV: Exocentric vs. Egocentric Adaptation of Foundation Video World Models in Retail
Foundation video diffusion models are increasingly viewed as world simulators for embodied agents, yet their pretraining on internet-scale generic video leaves them poorly aligned with real-world deployment domains. We s…

Foundation models have advanced computer vision by enabling strong performance across diverse tasks through large-scale pretraining and supervised fine-tuning. However, they may underperform in domains with distribution …
Self-Supervised LearningSemi-intrusive audio evaluation: Casting non-intrusive assessment as a multi-modal text prediction task
Human perception has the unique ability to focus on specific events in a mixture of signals--a challenging task for existing non-intrusive assessment methods. In this work, we introduce semi-intrusive assessment that emu…
Rethinking Image-to-Video Adaptation: An Object-centric Perspective
Image-to-video adaptation seeks to efficiently adapt image models for use in the video domain. Instead of finetuning the entire image backbone, many image-to-video adaptation paradigms use lightweight adapters for tempor…
