• Abstract summary: We advocate that image-text contrastive learning makes it feasible to treat texts as images for prompt tuning and introduce TaI prompting. Particularly, we apply TaI prompting to multi-label image recognition, where sentences in the wild serve as alternatives to images for prompt tuning. Our proposed TaI-DPT outperforms zero-shot CLIP by a large margin on multiple benchmarks.

• Abstract: Prompt tuning has been employed as an efficient way to adapt large vision-language pre-trained models (e.g. CLIP) to various downstream tasks in data-limited or label-limited settings. Nonetheless, visual data (e.g., images) is by default prerequisite for learning prompts in existing methods. In this work, we advocate that the effectiveness of image-text contrastive learning in aligning the two modalities (for training CLIP) further makes it feasible to treat texts as images for prompt tuning and introduce TaI prompting. In contrast to the visual data, text descriptions are easy to collect, and their class labels can be directly derived. Particularly, we apply TaI prompting to multi-label image recognition, where sentences in the wild serve as alternatives to images for prompt tuning. Moreover, with TaI, double-grained prompt tuning (TaI-DPT) is further presented to extract both coarse-grained and fine-grained embeddings for enhancing the multi-label recognition performance. Experimental results show that our proposed TaI-DPT outperforms zero-shot CLIP by a large margin on multiple benchmarks, e.g., MS-COCO, VOC2007, and NUS-WIDE, while it can be combined with existing methods of prompting from images to improve recognition performance further.

• CoAPT: Context Attribute words for Prompt Tuning [5.811993982861212]
  We propose a novel prompt tuning method called CoAPT for few/zero-shot image classification. The core motivation is that attributes are descriptive words with rich information about a given concept. CoAPT integrates words as additional prompts within learnable prompt tuning and can be easily incorporated into various existing prompt tuning methods.

Specifically, we first learn the pseudo-visual prompt for each category, mining diverse visual knowledge by the well-aligned space of pre-trained vision-language models. Experimental results on VOC2007, MS-COCO, and NUSWIDE datasets demonstrate that our method can surpass state-of-the-art(SOTA) methods.
