• Authors: Santiago Castro, Amir Ziai, Avneesh Saluja, Zhuoning Yuan, Rada Mihalcea
• Abstract summary: Foundational Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at object-centric recognition yet learn text representations that seem invariant to word order. No evidence exists that any VLM, including large-scale single-stream models such as GPT-4V, identifies compositions successfully. In this paper, we introduce a framework to significantly improve the ability of existing models to encode compositional language.

• Abstract: Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the performance of Vision and Language tasks. Foundational Vision-Language Models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have been leveraged in multiple settings and demonstrated remarkable performance across several tasks. Such models excel at object-centric recognition yet learn text representations that seem invariant to word order, failing to compose known concepts in novel ways. However, no evidence exists that any VLM, including large-scale single-stream models such as GPT-4V, identifies compositions successfully. In this paper, we introduce a framework to significantly improve the ability of existing models to encode compositional language, with over 10% absolute improvement on compositionality benchmarks, while maintaining or improving the performance on standard object-recognition and retrieval benchmarks. Our code and pre-trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/netflix/clove.

In this framework, we collect high-quality Chinese and English text-image pairs and design two training stages, including multilingual vision-language feature distillation and alignment. Comprehensive experiments in zero-shot image classification, conducted based on the ELEVATER benchmark, showcase that DC-CLIP achieves superior performance in the English context.

  We introduce a new benchmark, named as CODIS, designed to assess the ability of models to use context provided in free-form text to enhance visual comprehension. Our findings indicate that MLLMs consistently fall short of human performance on this benchmark. This underscores the pressing need to enhance the ability of MLLMs to comprehend visuals in a context-dependent manner.

The resulting visual tokens encompass high-level semantics worthy of a word and also support dynamic sequence length varying from the image. This unification empowers LaVIT to serve as an impressive generalist interface to understand and generate multi-modal content simultaneously.

  We propose a new framework, named Semantic-guided Visual Adapting (SgVA), to extend vision-language pre-trained models. SgVA produces discriminative task-specific visual features by comprehensively using a vision-specific contrastive loss, a cross-modal contrastive loss, and an implicit knowledge distillation. State-of-the-art results on 13 datasets demonstrate that the adapted visual features can well complement the cross-modal features to improve few-shot image classification.
