arXiv:2606. 13288v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastively trained vision-language models like CLIP, have made remarkable progress in learning joint image-text representations, but still face challenges in compositional understanding.

Pretrained vision-language models such as CLIP excel at zero-shot recognition but often fail at compositionality, particularly attribute-object and relational structures. Recent studies mitigate this...

Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models produce fluent image descriptions but offer limited semantic control: users cannot reliably specify whether captions sho...

CinematicVQA is a new benchmark for evaluating large vision‑language models on film‑grammar reasoning. It introduces the Cinematic Scene Graph, a structured representation linking filming techniques to perceptual effects and narrative functions, and tests models on tasks beyond low‑level technique recognition. The study finds a semantic gap where models excel at describing visuals but struggle to identify underlying techniques, and shows that fine‑tuning improves performance on narrative function and multi‑hop reasoning.
