Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) leverages textual semantics to segment objects beyond predefined categories. While the self-supervised model DINOv3 provides strong structured visual representations, its lack of native textual alignment hinders its direct application to OVSS.
Integrating heterogeneous biomedical data, including clinical metadata, histopathology images, and molecular profiles, is crucial for comprehensive disease understanding. However, gene expression data acquisition remains constrained by high costs and privacy concerns, limiting its use in multimodal research and AI-driven applications.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems increasingly employ multiple LLM agents. Yet, most prior work optimizes components in isolation rather than coordinating improvements across the pipeline.
Knowledge-Intensive Visual Question Answering (KI-VQA) benchmarks evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as multimodal knowledge assistants by requiring external information beyond a provided image to answer questions. KI-VQA involves multiple sub-problems -referring expression understanding, visual grounding, object recognition, knowledge retrieval, and reasoning-yet existing benchmarks typically report only end-task accuracy, obscuring where failures arise.
This paper proposes the Distribution-Alignment Bridge (DAB), a framework that reconceptualizes text-to-video retrieval as a distribution alignment task rather than traditional deterministic point matching. By modeling both text and video embeddings as Gaussian distributions defined by mean and variance, DAB explicitly accounts for modality-specific uncertainty.
AI knowledge systems require representations of entity importance for retrieval, recommendation, evidence selection, and knowledge-intensive reasoning. Yet importance is often reduced to a single score derived from either human response or graph structure.
