Vision-Language Grounding as Bidirectional Concept Correspondence

arXiv:2608. 07886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language grounding connects language to visual content, yet most existing formulations reduce grounding to a unidirectional localization problem: given a prespecified text phrase or category name, identify the corresponding image region.

UOT-Gap: A Variational Principle for the Modality Gap in Vision-Language Models via Unbalanced Optimal Transport

arXiv:2609.10224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models such as CLIP embed images and text in a shared space, where modality-specific distributions often remain separated. Existing acc...

When Language Overwrites Vision: Over-Alignment and Geometric Debiasing in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2605. 08245v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly power high-stakes applications, from medical imaging to autonomous systems, yet they routinely hallucinate, confidently describing content not present in the input.
