The paper introduces a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) that acts as a diagnostic agent to adapt a detect‑to‑track system to new domains without target‑domain labels. By inspecting rendered tracking outputs, the VLM identifies failure modes and iteratively recommends parameter updates, recovering a significant portion of performance lost when transferring hyperparameters from a source domain. Experiments on MOT17→MOT20 show the VLM tuner restores 67.8% of the lost headroom, while Bayesian optimization with proxy objectives performs poorly under large domain shifts.
The paper introduces the Capability-Driven Multimodal Scaling Law, a cross-family framework that predicts vision-language model (VLM) benchmark accuracy from a low-dimensional textual capability score extracted via PCA. By training over 150 VLMs on 34 large language models across seven families, the authors demonstrate that the law accurately extrapolates transfer rates from 8B to 72B‑parameter backbones, predicts full training trajectories, and generalizes to unseen model families. The study also reveals actionable insights, such as certain textual benchmarks negatively correlating with multimodal performance and base LLMs outperforming instruction-tuned counterparts as VLM backbones due to higher absorption rates.
