Vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP enable zero-shot classification by comparing image features with text prompts in a shared embedding space. A fundamental property underlying this capability is the global comparability of logits across arbitrary candidate classes.
arXiv:2608. 04215v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The growing diversity of code clone types, from syntactic copies to cross-language semantic clones to AI-generated duplicates, has created a fragmentation crisis in clone detection.
The paper critically evaluates common few‑shot learning protocols that rely on pre‑training a model on a large auxiliary set with classes disjoint from the target but drawn from the same visual domain. By comparing no pre‑training, class‑disjoint in‑domain pre‑training, supervised out‑of‑domain pre‑training, and label‑free out‑of‑domain pre‑training across eight datasets and three architectures, the authors find that in‑domain pre‑training yields a 33.41‑point average improvement, while out‑of‑domain pre‑training offers a 23.75‑point gain, revealing a 9.66‑point optimistic bias due to domain overlap. They also demonstrate that a label‑free augmentation strategy can match supervised out‑of‑domain performance and propose a descriptor‑based source‑selection method that closely approximates oracle selection, underscoring the need to move beyond in‑domain pre‑training as the default evaluation protocol.

arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.

The paper introduces CATTLE, a transfer learning framework for disjoint tabular datasets that eliminates the need for shared features by leveraging generalized context learned through transformer projection weights. By using key, value, and query weights from source and target domains, CATTLE performs cross‑domain attention transfer in a data‑agnostic manner. Experiments on ten source‑target pairs demonstrate that CATTLE outperforms nine state‑of‑the‑art baselines, achieving the best average rank (2.9) and a 3.7% AUROC improvement.
Cross-domain Few-shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to transfer knowledge learned from source domain to distinct target domains, segmenting unseen target classes with only a few annotated samples. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still rely on training or fine-tuning processes, which incur high computational costs and risk overfitting.
arXiv:2506. 14126v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep learning is increasingly characterized by the use of open-weight foundation models that can be fine-tuned on specialized datasets.
AdaptiveCDM is a modular framework for source‑free few‑shot domain adaptation in cell detection, enabling a pretrained model to adapt to new imaging domains using only a handful of labeled target images and no source data. It combines Resolution‑Aware Augmentation (RAug) to balance scarce, class‑imbalanced samples while preserving cellular morphology, and Category‑Aware Representation Learning (CARL) to strengthen class‑consistent proposals for better localization and classification. Experiments on M5 and Raabin‑WBC datasets show that AdaptiveCDM achieves competitive or superior mAP scores compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods under their respective supervision settings.
