ProCAP: Probabilistic Cross-Attentive Prompt Learning for Vision-Language Models

ProCAP introduces a probabilistic cross-attentive prompt learning framework for vision-language models like CLIP, enabling improved cross-modal interaction without updating the backbone. It jointly learns visual and textual prompt tokens, linking them via stacked bidirectional multi-head cross-attention to refine each branch across prompt depth. The method incorporates Gaussian parameterization of prompt tokens, lightweight KL and L2 regularization, and a compact symmetric InfoNCE head to align image features with class-level text representations, achieving strong few-shot base-to-novel performance and competitive transfer results across multiple datasets and benchmarks.

Information Density Imbalance in Visual Object Detection

The paper introduces the concept of information density to explain category bias in visual object detection. It finds a strong negative correlation between a category’s information density and its detection accuracy, showing that instance count alone does not account for bias. By incorporating information density into three advanced loss functions, the authors demonstrate significant bias reduction and overall performance gains on Pascal VOC, COCO‑LT, and LVIS datasets.
