No Hard Negatives Required: Concept Centric Learning Leads to Compositionality without Degrading Zero-shot Capabilities of Contrastive Models

arXiv:2603.25722v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Contrastive vision-language (V&L) models remain a popular choice for various applications. However, several limitations have emerged, most notably the limited ability of V&L models to learn compositional representations. Prior methods often addressed this limitation by generating custom training data to obtain hard negative samples. Hard negatives have been shown to improve performance on compositionality tasks, but are often specific to a single benchmark, do not generalize, and can cause substantial degradation of basic V&L capabiliti
