  1. Can Pre-trained Vision and Language Models Answer Visual Information-Seeking Questions? (2023 · 111 citations)
    The paper asks whether current pre-trained vision-language models can handle questions about an image that need specific factual knowledge not visible in the picture, such as when a pictured church was built.
  2. Over-Searching in Search-Augmented Large Language Models (2026)
    Search-augmented LLMs can call a search tool even when doing so offers no benefit, such as when the answer is already within the model's knowledge or when no answer exists for the question.
