Test-Time Training for Modality Order Consistency in Vision-Language Models

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

We find that vision-language models are sensitive to a specific semantically irrelevant change: the order in which the image and question are presented. Across three models and three benchmarks, image first prompting consistently outperforms question-first prompting, revealing a repeatable modality order failure.

Test-Time Logit Prompting for Source-Free Missing Modality Adaptation

The paper introduces Test-Time Logit Prompting (TLP), a lightweight framework that adapts vision-language models to missing-modality inputs without accessing source training data. TLP optimizes logit prompts using uncertainty-aware adjustments and modality-complete consistency regularization, thereby maintaining prediction confidence and semantic consistency. Experiments on various benchmarks show that TLP improves recognition performance by up to 8% while requiring only a few hundred tunable parameters and minimal test-time optimization steps.

Subspace Alignment for Vision-Language Model Test-time Adaptation

The paper introduces SubTTA, a test-time adaptation method for vision‑language models that aligns the semantic subspaces of visual and textual modalities to improve zero‑shot predictions. It addresses two issues: the modality gap caused by distribution shifts and visual nuisance that masks task‑specific semantics. By minimizing chordal distance between principal subspaces and projecting visual features onto a task‑specific textual subspace, SubTTA refines decision boundaries and achieves an average 2.24% improvement over existing TTA methods.
