Multimodal LLMs are rapidly being adopted for vision-language tasks applications. But how fair are they across demographic groups?🤔 🔍In our recent work, accepted in #CVPR 2026 workshops, we evaluate gender and ethnicity bias in 9 different MLLMs for face verification. 🧵(1/3)

📊Key findings: ✅ Bias persists in MLLMs: Performance varies significantly across demographic groups ✅ Gender and ethnicity disparities can be observed even in advanced models ✅ There is a gap between generative capability and trustworthy decision-making 🧵(2/3)#bias #fairness

We introduce FaceLLM, a MLLM trained specifically for facial image understanding. To construct the training data, we propose a novel weakly supervised pipeline that generates high-quality question-answer pairs based on images from the FairFace dataset.

🧵(3/4) We generate several synthetic face datasets and evaluate them by training face recognition models and benchmarking trained models on real face recognition benchmark datasets. #ICML #ICML2025

🧵(4/4) We also show that our approach can be used to mitigate leakage from the generator's training set and explore the ability of generative models to generate data beyond it. #ICML #ICML2025
