arXiv:2607. 00784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language pretraining remains dominated by contrastive objectives, whereas vision-only self-supervised learning has largely adopted non-contrastive methods.

arXiv:2608. 19726v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The typical training process of a multimodal large language model (MLLM) involves adapting both the language model backbone and the projector between the backbone and a modality-specific encoder.

arXiv:2510. 02528v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) demonstrate impressive in-context learning abilities from few multimodal demonstrations, yet the internal mechanisms supporting such task learning remain opaque.

arXiv:2606. 14883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual vision-language models are commonly addressed through sequential fine-tuning; however, although this paradigm enables adaptation to new environments (tasks), it inherently emphasizes the contribution of previously learned environments (tasks) at the expense of the stability required to preserve previously acquired knowledge.
