The paper introduces MK‑FSS, a few‑shot segmentation framework that leverages Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to extract spatial and semantic target knowledge from query images. Spatial knowledge is encoded into a memory representation and fused with support‑guided memory via a dual‑memory debate‑fusion module, while semantic knowledge is turned into a textual feature and combined with multi‑scale query features through a progressive cross‑modal prompt generator. Together, these components produce a robust target representation that improves segmentation performance over existing methods.

ProCAP introduces a probabilistic cross-attentive prompt learning framework for vision-language models like CLIP, enabling improved cross-modal interaction without updating the backbone. It jointly learns visual and textual prompt tokens, linking them via stacked bidirectional multi-head cross-attention to refine each branch across prompt depth. The method incorporates Gaussian parameterization of prompt tokens, lightweight KL and L2 regularization, and a compact symmetric InfoNCE head to align image features with class-level text representations, achieving strong few-shot base-to-novel performance and competitive transfer results across multiple datasets and benchmarks.

The paper introduces CERES, a closed‑loop multimodal indexing framework that addresses semantic collapse in multimodal generation by building a three‑level semantic pyramid and using scale‑routed cross‑attention to generate images that remain retrievable by their original queries. CERES employs a co‑occurrence‑aware router, a lightweight U‑Net generator, and a soft‑Jaccard coverage objective to ensure generated images cover the intended concepts, verified by re‑indexing with a frozen vision‑language model and an external DINOv2 probe. Experiments on four pansharpening benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance, especially under extreme scale variation, and significant improvements in concept‑query retrieval and image‑text ranking metrics.
