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:2608. 11681v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work addresses the challenge of open-vocabulary instance segmentation (OVIS) and open-set panoptic segmentation (OSPS), which aim to recognize both predefined and unseen object categories without exhaustive human annotations.
arXiv:2608.30621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collecting natural-language referring expressions along with region annotations, such as masks or boxes, is a major bottleneck in visual grounding (V...
arXiv:2607. 06097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D dense captioning, an emerging vision-language task, aims to generate descriptive sentences for each object in the 3D scene.
Improving video captioning quality typically demands retraining large vision-language models, an expensive and often impractical requirement. Existing training-free alternatives instead ground captions in detected objects to curb hallucination, but apply only a single, fixed correction pass without prioritizing which objects matter most, leaving semantically significant content omitted.
This work addresses the challenge of open-vocabulary instance segmentation (OVIS) and open-set panoptic segmentation (OSPS), which aim to recognize both predefined and unseen object categories without exhaustive human annotations. Existing methods often suffer from noisy pseudo-masks, limited visual-textual grounding, and difficulty handling synonyms or out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words.

Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has been shown to have limitations in its fine-grained dense feature representation, due to its pre-training focusing on matching the whole image to a text description. Considering the large data and computational burden in pre-training a vision-language model from scratch, a series of works aim to enhance the fine-grained ability of CLIP through a fine-tuning scheme.
