DRAgent introduces a discriminative reasoning framework for Referring Expression Segmentation that replaces direct coordinate prediction with a two‑stage selection process. First, a detector generates candidate boxes; then a multimodal large language model (MLLM) discriminates the correct target through high‑recall screening and instance‑wise verification. The chosen box serves as a spatial prompt for a foundation segmentation model, and a self‑consistency‑filtered data pipeline is used for LoRA‑based fine‑tuning, yielding competitive results on RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, and RefCOCOg.

The paper introduces Bidirectional Reciprocal Learning (BRL), a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning framework for referring image segmentation that operates on frozen vision foundation models. BRL employs two lightweight adapters—Reciprocal Attention Adapter (RAA) for token‑level cross‑modal attention and Reciprocal Gate Adapter (RGA) for channel‑level gating—to enable hierarchical, bidirectional information flow between vision and language. Experiments on RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, and RefCOCOg show that BRL outperforms existing methods while updating fewer than 0.5% of backbone parameters.

SetCon reformulates open-ended referring segmentation as set-level concept prediction, using LVLM-generated natural-language concepts instead of segmentation-specific tokens. It employs a hierarchical semantic decomposition that first predicts a shared set-level concept and then refines it into fine-grained concept groups aligned with target subsets. The method, supported by a two-stage annotation pipeline adding hierarchical semantic supervision, achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple image and video benchmarks, with performance gains increasing as the number of referred targets grows.
