Open-vocabulary detection (OVD) recognizes categories unseen during training through textual category queries, yet achieving strong generalization with real-time efficiency remains challenging. Beyond...

Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires a detector to recognize known categories, discover unnamed objects from unseen categories, and incrementally learn newly annotated classes. PROB improves unknown discovery by modeling class-agnostic probabilistic objectness in the decoder-query space.

arXiv:2608. 07886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language grounding connects language to visual content, yet most existing formulations reduce grounding to a unidirectional localization problem: given a prespecified text phrase or category name, identify the corresponding image region.

arXiv:2606. 15134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision encoders for retrieval are typically trained with class-label supervision: each training pair reduces to a scalar that uniformly pushes the embedding apart or pulls it together, as if every visual attribute either differed or matched.

The paper introduces OpenRef, a benchmark for Referring Expression Comprehension (REC) designed for open‑world scenarios. OpenRef expands beyond simple settings by including diverse visual domains, variable target counts (multi‑target and none‑target), and a rich vocabulary with proper nouns, polysemous words, and ordinal terms. It also proposes new evaluation metrics—F1 for grounding accuracy and N3R for negative expression rejection—and presents a training‑free Multi‑task Consistency Checker (MCC) that improves model performance with a single click.
