arXiv:2606. 29888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models map images and text into a joint embedding space.
arXiv:2607. 08605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising technique for mechanistic interpretability by learning a set of sparse latent features in large models, each of which encodes a distinct concept.
arXiv:2506. 03096v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Contrastive language-image pre-training aligns features of text-image pairs in a common latent space via distinct encoders for each modality.
arXiv:2602. 07026v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the success of multimodal contrastive learning in aligning visual and linguistic representations, a persistent geometric anomaly, the Modality Gap, remains: embeddings of distinct modalities expressing identical semantics occupy systematically offset regions.
arXiv:2606. 13288v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastively trained vision-language models like CLIP, have made remarkable progress in learning joint image-text representations, but still face challenges in compositional understanding.
arXiv:2511. 01390v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-grained cross-modal alignment aims to establish precise local correspondences between vision and language, forming a cornerstone for visual question answering and related multimodal applications.
arXiv:2605. 18714v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) strive to consolidate visual understanding and visual generation within a single architecture.
arXiv:2606. 07451v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models such as CLIP are highly useful for diverse tasks due to their shared image-text embedding space.
arXiv:2607. 04593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across different tasks, but their computational cost is dominated by the large number of visual tokens fed to the language model.
arXiv:2607. 17770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Within Explainable Artificial Intelligence, mechanistic interpretability uses Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to extract more interpretable features from neural representations.
arXiv:2607. 00023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dense sentence embeddings are fundamental to modern Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems but suffer from a lack of interpretability due to feature superposition.
arXiv:2506. 08774v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Different machine learning models can represent the same underlying concept in different ways.
arXiv:2606. 24716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly used to extract interpretable concepts from vision and vision language models, yet existing evaluation methods largely rely on proxy metrics or qualitative inspection rather than measuring semantic correspondence.
