From Behavioral Performance to Internal Competence: Interpreting Vision-Language Models with VLM-Lens

Published in Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: System Demonstrations, 2025

We introduce VLM-Lens, a toolkit designed to enable systematic benchmarking, analysis, and interpretation of vision-language models (VLMs) by supporting the extraction of intermediate outputs from any layer during the forward pass of open-source VLMs.
