UC Merced undergrads Aryan Keskar and Srinivasa Perisetla received a "Best Paper Award" at the 3rd Large Language and Vision Models for Autonomous Driving (LLVM-AD) Workshop, held at the 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) in Tucson, Arizona. Aryan and Srini are both CSE students in Professor Ross Greer's Machine Intelligence, Interaction, and Imagination Lab (Mi3).
The award was announced at the closing session of the workshop, recognizing their paper, "Evaluating Multimodal Vision-Language Model Prompting Strategies for Visual Question Answering in Road Scene Understanding" (Keskar, Perisetla, Greer). The group was accompanied at the workshop by visiting graduate researcher from Aalborg University, Tonko Emil Westerhof Bossen, who is spending the semester in the Mi3 lab and mentored the undergraduate team in preparation for their presentation.
