arXiv:2603. 26798v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language model (VLM) encoders such as CLIP enable strong retrieval and zero-shot classification in a shared image-text embedding space, yet the semantic organization of this space is rarely inspected.

arXiv:2607. 03143v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language alignment powers open-vocabulary recognition, retrieval, and LVLM grounding, yet natural captions are often underspecified, making similarity brittle and overly confident under paraphrase and omitted details.

arXiv:2606. 29464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language dataset distillation (VLDD) compresses a large image-text paired dataset into a small set of synthetic pairs that can efficiently train contrastive vision-language models under strict data and compute budgets.
