1. **[Direct Preference Optimization of Video Large Multimodal Models from Language Model Reward](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-direct-preference-optimization-video-large/)** *(2025 · 32 citations)* Preference optimization methods like DPO help align language models, but they are hard to use for video LMMs.
2. **[Zero-Shot and Few-Shot Stance Detection on Varied Topics via Conditional Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wen-2023-zero-shot-few-shot-stance/)** *(2023 · 26 citations)* Stance detection decides whether a text supports, opposes, or is neutral toward a target. The VAST benchmark makes this harder because most test targets appear rarely or never in training. Earlier VAST systems treat the task as classification, learning label vectors from scratch and ignoring the meaning of the label…
