Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance with Prototype Anchor Calibration for Source-Fully-Free Adaptation of Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance (DSSG), a framework for Source‑Fully‑Free Domain Adaptation of Vision‑Language Models that mitigates dual semantic drift through a caption stream and a class‑anchor stream. It adds a Dynamic Cross‑Modal Knowledge Distillation module and a Prototype Anchor Calibration extension (DSSG‑PAC) to reduce computation while maintaining performance. Experiments show DSSG outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and DSSG‑PAC cuts adaptation time by 18.9% with minimal loss in accuracy.

OODBench: Out-of-Distribution Benchmark for Large Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2602. 18094v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Visual-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved significant progress by being trained on massive-scale datasets, typically under the assumption that data are independent and identically distributed (IID).
