Distribution-Alignment Bridge for Uncertainty-Aware Text-to-Video Retrieval

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

This paper proposes the Distribution-Alignment Bridge (DAB), a framework that reconceptualizes text-to-video retrieval as a distribution alignment task rather than traditional deterministic point matching. By modeling both text and video embeddings as Gaussian distributions defined by mean and variance, DAB explicitly accounts for modality-specific uncertainty.

MoVA: Learning Asymmetric Dual Projections for Modular Long Video-Text Alignment

arXiv:2607. 00858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive pre-training has propelled video-text alignment, yet models often inherit the critical limitations of their image-text predecessors like CLIP, resulting in entangled representations.

DistMedVL: Distributional Vision-Language Alignment for Uncertainty-Aware Medical Image Segmentation

arXiv:2608. 05683v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal alignment of visual and textual representations is fundamental to multimodal medical image understanding, yet remains hindered by uncertainty in both modalities under real-world clinical conditions.

DeRA-MOS: Optimizing Text-to-Music Evaluation via Decoupled Listwise Ranking and Modality Alignment

arXiv:2606. 10010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating text-to-music (TTM) systems remains expensive because music impression (MI) and text alignment (TA) scores rely on human mean opinion scores (MOS).

Improving Visual Representation Alignment Generation with GRPO

arXiv:2606. 00583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent diffusion transformers have demonstrated strong image synthesis capabilities but remain inefficient to train due to weak alignment between generative and discriminative representations.

Modality Gap-Driven Subspace Alignment Training Paradigm For Multimodal Large Language Models

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.
