FastVLM: Efficient Vision Encoding for Vision Language Models
July 23, 2025research area Computer Vision
Vision Language Models (VLMs) enable visual understanding alongside textual inputs. They are typically built by passing visual tokens from a pretrained vision encoder to a pretrained Large Language Model (LLM) through a projection layer. By leveraging the rich visual representations of the vision encoder and the world knowledge and reasoning capabilities of the LLM, VLMs can be useful for a wide range of applications, including accessibility...
Apple Machine Learning Research at ICML 2025
July 11, 2025
Apple researchers are advancing AI and ML through fundamental research, and to support the broader research community and help accelerate progress in this field, we share much of this research through publications and engagement at conferences. Next week, the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) will be held in Vancouver, Canada, and Apple is proud to once again participate in this important event for the...

Events
Apple Workshop on Human-Centered Machine Learning 2024
July 24, 2025research area Accessibility, research area Fairness, research area Human-Computer Interaction
A human-centered approach to machine learning (HCML) involves designing ML machine learning & AI technology that prioritizes the needs and values of the people using it. This leads to AI that complements and enhances human capabilities, rather than replacing them. Research in the area of HCML includes the development of transparent and interpretable machine learning systems to help people feel safer using AI, as well as strategies for predicting...
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2025
July 24, 2025research area Speech and Natural Language Processing
Apple is presenting new research at the annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), which takes place in person from July 27 to August 1, in Vienna, Austria. ACL is a conference in the field of computational linguistics, covering a broad spectrum of diverse research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language. Below is the schedule of Apple-sponsored workshops and events at ACL 2025.
