Large Language Model Teaches Visual Students: Cross-Modality Transfer of Fine-Grained Conceptual Knowledge

arXiv:2606.27527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) possess broad conceptual knowledge acquired through large-scale text pretraining, yet their potential to supervise models in other modalities remains underexplored. In this work, we propose LaViD--Language-to-Visual Knowledge Distillation--a simple and effective framework for transferring high-level semantic knowledge from a language-only teacher to a vision-only student model. Instead of relying on paired multimodal data, LaViD elicits conceptual signals from an LLM by prompting it to generate multiple-choice quest
