FineGen: A VLM-based Multi-Agent Framework for Fine-Grained Image-Text Dataset Construction

arXiv:2606.07645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The scarcity of hard negative samples in current vision-language datasets significantly hinders fine-grained perception. To address this, we propose FineGen, a VLM-based Multi-Agent framework for automated dataset construction. By employing a collaborative Generation-Verification-Correction pipeline with a closed-loop feedback mechanism, FineGen ensures synthesized hard negatives are semantically valid yet strictly contradictory to visual content. Applying this to ImageNet, we construct FineGen-100K, a hierarchical dataset containing over 147,0

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing sophistication of AI models and the growing demand for high-quality, specialized training data make this VLM-based framework timely for advancing fine-grained perception capabilities.

Why it’s important

This research addresses a critical bottleneck in vision-language models by automating the generation of hard negative samples, leading to more robust and accurate AI systems capable of nuanced understanding.

What changes

Dataset construction for AI model training can become significantly more efficient and effective, shifting from manual curation to automated, intelligent generation, particularly for challenging fine-grained tasks.
