The paper introduces Language-driven Dense Semantic Adaptor (LDSA) for multi-label image classification with incomplete annotations. LDSA leverages multimodal pretrained CLIP models to extract prior-adaptive relationships, employing a densely contrastive adaptor for visual contrastive constraints and a language-driven interactive decoder with class-specific prompt tuning. Experiments show LDSA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on public benchmarks and reveals implicit semantic relationships through its learning scheme.

Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to recognize unseen attribute-object compositions by leveraging knowledge of primitive concepts learned from seen compositions. Although recent works achieve impressive performance in CZSL by leveraging large vision-language models, they primarily rely on discriminative representations that may not explicitly preserve the structured relationships between primitive concepts and their compositions.
arXiv:2608. 06411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance across diverse vision-language tasks, but their efficiency is limited by the cost of processing numerous visual tokens.

arXiv:2508. 00955v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adapting generative Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) into universal embedding models typically demands resource-intensive contrastive pre-training, while traditional hard negative mining methods suffer from severe false negative contamination.
