ProtoDCS: Towards Robust and Efficient Open-Set Test-Time Adaptation for Vision-Language Models

ProtoDCS introduces a robust open‑set test‑time adaptation framework for vision‑language models, addressing the challenge of simultaneously handling covariate‑shifted in‑distribution (csID) and out‑of‑distribution (csOOD) data. It replaces brittle thresholding with a double‑check separation using a probabilistic Gaussian Mixture Model and employs an evidence‑driven adaptation strategy that updates prototypes efficiently, reducing overconfidence and computational cost. Experiments on CIFAR‑10/100‑C and Tiny‑ImageNet‑C show state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving both known‑class accuracy and OOD detection metrics.

CLIPure: Purification in Latent Space via CLIP for Adversarially Robust Zero-Shot Classification

The paper introduces CLIPure, a method for building an adversarially robust zero‑shot image classifier by purifying inputs in the latent space of CLIP. It formulates purification risk using KL divergence between denoising and attack processes via bidirectional SDEs, and proposes two variants: CLIPure‑Diff, which uses a diffusion prior, and CLIPure‑Cos, which relies on cosine similarity. Experiments on CIFAR‑10, ImageNet, and 13 other datasets show significant robustness gains, raising state‑of‑the‑art performance from 71.7% to 91.1% on CIFAR‑10 and from 59.6% to 72.6% on ImageNet.
