The paper identifies a problem in multi‑view anomaly detection called cross‑view information leakage, where fusing multiple inspection views can cause normal features to mask anomalies during reconstruction. To address this, the authors propose GLAD, a framework that uses a Global‑Local Attention Driven approach, combining vision foundation model features with two fusion modules: Multi‑view Merging Attention for local, weighted fusion and Object‑Guided Attention for global context aggregation. Experiments on Real‑IAD and MANTA‑Tiny demonstrate that GLAD outperforms existing methods across various metrics, underscoring the importance of restricting information flow to preserve the reconstruction gap.
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.
CODE: Cross-Modal Calibration and Dynamic Suppression for Open World Object Detection introduces a unified inference-time framework that addresses semantic ambiguity and over-suppression in multimodal OWOD systems. It comprises Cross-Modal Joint Confidence Calibration, Uncertainty-Guided Universal Objectness Enhancement, and Dynamic Outlier Suppression via Confidence Margin. Experiments on the Real-World Detection benchmark with the OWL‑ViT L/14 backbone show CODE achieving 21.7 U‑mAP and 40.8 K‑mAP, surpassing prior state‑of‑the‑art results by 2.6 and 2.3 points respectively.

The paper evaluates how vision-language models (VLMs) perform in image classification tasks, comparing language-guided and vision-only approaches across various dual-encoder VLMs such as SigLIP 2 and RADIOv2.5 on ImageNet-1k and its label-corrected variant. It identifies key factors influencing accuracy—including prompt design, class diversity, k‑NN neighbors, and reference set size—and demonstrates that language and vision provide complementary strengths. A simple, learning‑free fusion method based on per‑class precision is proposed to further improve classification performance.
The paper introduces TED (Text-Axis Evidence Decomposition), a post‑hoc scoring method that improves anomaly localization in CLIP‑based detectors without altering the backbone or prompts. TED evaluates whether ambiguous responses are better supported by defect patches or normal patches, thereby distinguishing true defects from visually complex normal regions. Experiments show that TED significantly enhances pixel‑level localization across frozen VLM backbones and adapted hosts, especially under hard‑false‑positive competition.
