• Abstract: The zero-shot open-vocabulary challenge in image classification is tackled by pretrained vision-language models like CLIP, which benefit from incorporating class-specific knowledge from large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. However, biases in CLIP lead to similar descriptions for distinct but related classes, prompting our novel image classification framework via hierarchical comparisons: using LLMs to recursively group classes into hierarchies and classifying images by comparing image-text embeddings at each hierarchy level, resulting in an intuitive, effective, and explainable approach.

  We propose an approach to train vision-language models such as CLIP in a contrastive manner to reason about differences in embedding space. We first demonstrate that our approach yields significantly improved capabilities in ranking images by a certain attribute. We also illustrate that the resulting embeddings obey a larger degree of geometric properties in embedding space.

  This paper extends Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) with multi-granularity alignment. We develop a Unified Multi-Granularity learning framework, termed UMG-CLIP, which simultaneously empowers the model with versatile perception abilities. With parameter efficient tuning, UMG-CLIP surpasses current widely used CLIP variants and achieves state-of-the-art performance on diverse image understanding benchmarks.

  When classifying categories at different hierarchy levels, traditional uni-modal approaches focus primarily on image features, revealing limitations in complex scenarios. Recent studies integrating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with class hierarchies have shown promise, yet they fall short of fully exploiting the hierarchical relationships. We propose a novel framework that effectively combines CLIP with a deeper exploitation of the Hierarchical class structure via Graph representation learning.
