Data augmentation is fundamental to training modern deep vision and multimodal models. While individual methods, such as RandAug, CutMix, Mixup, RandErase, and DropPath, offer strong regularization ef...
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.

arXiv:2602. 07026v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the success of multimodal contrastive learning in aligning visual and linguistic representations, a persistent geometric anomaly, the Modality Gap, remains: embeddings of distinct modalities expressing identical semantics occupy systematically offset regions.

arXiv:2607. 26735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt inversion, as a typical reverse engineering technique, enables text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models to generate the desired target images without extensive prompt engineering.

arXiv:2605. 08245v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly power high-stakes applications, from medical imaging to autonomous systems, yet they routinely hallucinate, confidently describing content not present in the input.
