Why Vision Language Models Ignore What They See with Munawar Hayat - #758
The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence) · Dec 9, 2025 · 58 min
In this episode, we’re joined by Munawar Hayat, researcher at Qualcomm AI Research, to discuss a series of papers presented at NeurIPS 2025 focusing on multimodal and generative AI. We dive into the persistent challenge of object hallucination in Vision-Language Models (VLMs), why models often discard visual information in favor of pre-trained language priors, and how his team used…
