• Abstract: CLIP has achieved impressive zero-shot performance after pre-training on a large-scale dataset consisting of paired image-text data. Previous works have utilized CLIP by incorporating manually designed visual prompts like colored circles and blur masks into the images to guide the model's attention, showing enhanced zero-shot performance in downstream tasks. Although these methods have achieved promising results, they inevitably alter the original information of the images, which can lead to failure in specific tasks. We propose a train-free method Foveal-Attention CLIP (FALIP), which adjusts the CLIP's attention by inserting foveal attention masks into the multi-head self-attention module. We demonstrate FALIP effectively boosts CLIP zero-shot performance in tasks such as referring expressions comprehension, image classification, and 3D point cloud recognition. Experimental results further show that FALIP outperforms existing methods on most metrics and can augment current methods to enhance their performance.

  Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) excels at abstracting open-world representations across domains and modalities. CLIP has severe visual shortcomings, such as which can hardly distinguish orientation, quantity, color, structure. We present a post-training approach for CLIP models, which largely overcomes its visual shortcomings via a self-supervised diffusion process.

  We introduce FROSTER, an effective framework for open-vocabulary action recognition.

We extensively evaluate FROSTER on open-vocabulary action recognition benchmarks under both base-to-novel and cross-dataset settings.

  Contrastive vision-language pre-training, known as CLIP, demonstrates remarkable potential in perceiving open-world visual concepts.

We propose the Meta-Adapter, a lightweight residual-style adapter, to refine the CLIP features guided by the few-shot samples in an online manner.
