arXiv:2608. 19376v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Split-conformal prediction provides marginal coverage under exchangeability and is increasingly used as an abstention layer for zero-shot vision-language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2607. 18088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard evaluation of many recognition systems contains distribution shift by construction, since benchmarks place disjoint conditions in the training and test splits.
arXiv:2607. 28696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical vision-language models (VLMs) can retain high observed marginal coverage after clinical shift while substantially under-covering an individual disease class.
arXiv:2605.00326v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Safety pipelines often block content by thresholding a model's first-token unsafe score. We show that a single prompt's score is not a reliable pro...
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.
arXiv:2608.29395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models such as CLIP and SigLIP provide strong zero-shot recognition, but their predictions can degrade when deployed on target data tha...

arXiv:2606. 10066v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical vision-language models (VLMs) are evaluated on public benchmarks whose images and question-answer pairs have been freely downloadable for years, yet reported accuracy assumes these examples were absent from pretraining.
arXiv:2606. 28598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prediction sets should have high coverage to be useful, but some coverage notions are more practically relevant than others.
Uncertainty estimation for medical vision--language models (VLMs) using conformal prediction has gained increasing attention due to its distribution-free coverage guarantees. However, standard conform...
arXiv:2607. 18695v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A popular route to interpretable zero-shot classification asks a large language model (LLM) to describe each class name and prompts CLIP with the resulting descriptors.
arXiv:2609.09417v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) show promise for agricultural classification, but zero-shot performance on disease, pest, damage, quality, and species id...
