Towards Resolving Optimization Conflicts Between Image- and Text-Based Person Re-Identification

The joint optimization of image-based (I2I) and text-based (T2I) person re-identification (ReID) is hindered by modality discrepancies and conflicting training objectives, leading to suboptimal shared representations. While I2I ReID focuses on identity-level invariance across images of the same person, T2I ReID is driven by instance-specific textual descriptions tied to unique visual traits.

UVU: Improving Multimodal Understanding via Vision-Language Unified Autoregressive Paradigm

UVU is a vision-language unified autoregressive framework that integrates visual supervision directly into the pre-training stage of multimodal large language models. By using continuous visual encoding and a large-scale iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm to build a pixel-level visual codebook, UVU enables lossless representation of visual inputs and autoregressive generation of pixel-level image tokens alongside textual tokens. This approach synergizes pixel-level visual perception with semantic-level visual understanding, allowing models to internalize visual reconstruction capabilities and improve multimodal understanding performance.

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.

Zero-Shot Semantic Re-Identification for Autonomous Driving: A VLM Baseline Study

arXiv:2606. 09362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Re-Identification (ReID) in autonomous driving is typically formulated as a visual matching problem, where observations of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists are associated across time, frames, or camera views using learned appearance embeddings, often complemented by motion, geometric, or multimodal cues.
