arXiv:2609.24276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperbolic vision-language models (VLMs) represent image and text features in a geometry naturally suited to hierarchy, but their adaptation to downstr...
arXiv:2609.24564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CLIP, a foundational vision-language model, has emerged as a powerful tool for open-vocabulary semantic segmentation. While freezing CLIP's text encode...
arXiv:2606. 04434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal In-Context Learning (ICL) has emerged as a practical inference paradigm for Multimodal Large Language Models, where a small set of interleaved image-text In-Context Demonstrations (ICDs) conditions the model to solve new tasks.
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has been shown to have limitations in its fine-grained dense feature representation, due to its pre-training focusing on matching the whole image to a text description. Considering the large data and computational burden in pre-training a vision-language model from scratch, a series of works aim to enhance the fine-grained ability of CLIP through a fine-tuning scheme.
The paper introduces Visual Retrieval Heads (VRHs), a small fraction of attention heads in vision‑language models that are causally responsible for grounding text descriptions to image regions. By recasting head‑scoring methods and evaluating across eleven VLMs and five benchmarks, the authors show that masking the top 20 VRHs can drop grounding accuracy by up to 80 percentage points, while random masking has little effect. VRHs generalize across various visual reference tasks, preserve output format while corrupting localization, and transfer causally across models sharing an LLM backbone.
arXiv:2603. 22042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance, their Euclidean embeddings remain limited in capturing hierarchical relationships such as part-to-whole or parent-child structures, and often face challenges in multi-object compositional scenarios.
