The paper introduces Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance (DSSG), a framework for Source‑Fully‑Free Domain Adaptation of Vision‑Language Models that mitigates dual semantic drift through a caption stream and a class‑anchor stream. It adds a Dynamic Cross‑Modal Knowledge Distillation module and a Prototype Anchor Calibration extension (DSSG‑PAC) to reduce computation while maintaining performance. Experiments show DSSG outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and DSSG‑PAC cuts adaptation time by 18.9% with minimal loss in accuracy.
arXiv:2602. 18094v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Visual-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved significant progress by being trained on massive-scale datasets, typically under the assumption that data are independent and identically distributed (IID).
arXiv:2608. 10289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains as perception modules, where failures are often caused due to rare and under-represented scenarios.
arXiv:2606. 05748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Global-scale video moderation faces a dual challenge: the need for fine-grained multi-modal reasoning and the demand for interpretable outputs to support downstream enforcement.
Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains as perception modules, where failures are often caused due to rare and under-represented scenarios. This necessitates the need to evaluate the semantic robustness of perception models; conformance of behavior to high-level requirements over real-world perceptual variability.
DiaVLo is a diagnostic framework for vision‑language models (VLMs) that uses human curation and VLM generation to create specifications of desired and observed behaviours, revealing potential misalignments. It also offers causal estimates to pinpoint the most influential concepts driving VLM behaviour. Experiments on several open‑source VLMs under classification and generation tasks show that DiaVLo’s behaviour labels correlate with model performance and illuminate how VLMs perceive, organise, and prioritise concepts.
