[D] How can you teach normality to a Large VLM during SFT?
The post discusses the challenges of teaching a large vision-language model (VLM) to recognize normality in anomaly detection, specifically using the MVTec LOCO dataset. The author highlights the difficulty of obtaining sufficient anomaly samples compared to normal samples, which leads to overfitting during supervised fine-tuning (SFT). They seek suggestions for unsupervised methods to help the model learn what is considered normal.
