The Calibration Law: Diagnosing and Repairing Answer-Position Bias in Mixture-of-Experts Vision-Language Models

Indra Imanuel, et al.

In preparation for ICML 2027 · independent project; I proposed and lead the project

MoE vision–language models fail badly at fine-grained visual discrimination. On the VisMin benchmark we show much of the underlying failure is a severe answer-position bias, introduce a zero-cost diagnostic, and establish, across eight open MoE VLMs, a "calibration law": training-free interventions succeed in proportion to how well they calibrate the bias. A label-free recipe greatly improves the overall VisMin group score and transfers zero-shot to Winoground and ColorSwap.

Second-Pass Document Hierarchy Repair for PDF Extraction (working title)

Indra Imanuel, et al.

In preparation for ICDAR 2027 · Laputa, Inc.; I proposed and lead the project

PDF extractors recover text well and document hierarchy poorly. This project builds an end-to-end evaluation on three public benchmarks (Comp-HRDoc, HiPS, DocHieNet) and Korean textbooks, a self-supervised pointer model trained on pseudo-labels mined from section numbering and embedded PDF outlines with no human annotation, and LLM/VLM baselines.
