arXiv:2605.30968v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The core of vision-language models lies in measuring cross-modal similarity within a unified representation space. However, most image-text matching or multi-class image classification datasets lack fine-grained cross-modal matching annotations, forcing the continuous similarity space into binary classification boundaries. This compression induces false negative samples and significantly impairs the generalization performance of cross-modal tasks. While prior research has attempted to mitigate this by modeling intra-modal ambiguity, it often ov
The continuous evolution of vision-language models necessitates improved methods for cross-modal similarity representation to overcome limitations in existing datasets and enhance generalization.
Improving cross-modal similarity is crucial for advancing the capabilities and reliability of multimodal AI systems, which are foundational for many next-generation applications.
This research suggests a more robust approach to handling fine-grained cross-modal matching, potentially leading to more accurate and generalizable vision-language models.
