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.

ES-VP : Energy-Shaped Dynamic Visual Prompting for Efficient Model Adaptation

ES‑VP introduces Energy‑Shaped Visual Prompting, a method that generates image‑specific prompts through low‑rank initialization and energy‑guided dynamic adaptation. It achieves higher performance than existing single‑prompt and diverse‑prompt approaches while using far fewer parameters. Experiments on five architectures and fifteen datasets show consistent superiority, including a 2.6% accuracy gain over DAM‑VP on CLIP with 590× fewer prompt parameters.
