Modality Gap-Driven Subspace Alignment Training Paradigm For Multimodal Large Language Models

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.

Decoupling Semantics from Distortions: Multi-Scale Two-Stream Vision-Language Alignment for AI-Generated Image Quality Assessment

arXiv:2606. 16799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing vision-language model (VLM)-based AI-generated image quality assessment (AIGIQA) methods suffer from a fundamental semantic-distortion dimensional conflict: monolithic representations optimized for semantic discrimination inherently entangle compositional understanding with low-level perceptual sensitivity, rendering them blind to fine-grained quality degradations.

Failure-Informed Image Self-Augmentation for Multimodal Large Language Model Self-Improvement

arXiv:2608. 03733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across vision-language tasks, but their progress depends heavily on large-scale, high-quality multimodal data that are costly to annotate.

Failure-Informed Image Self-Augmentation for Multimodal Large Language Model Self-Improvement

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across vision-language tasks, but their progress depends heavily on large-scale, high-quality multimodal data that are costly to annotate. Self-augmentation offers a promising alternative by enabling models to expand their own training data without external supervision.

When Language Overwrites Vision: Over-Alignment and Geometric Debiasing in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2605. 08245v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly power high-stakes applications, from medical imaging to autonomous systems, yet they routinely hallucinate, confidently describing content not present in the input.
