B-GRTO: Bootstrapped Group Relative Tool Optimization for Referring Segmentation
Researchers have developed a new framework called Group Relative Tool Optimization (GRTO) to improve referring segmentation tasks in computer vision. This method integrates reinforcement learning with differentiable tool use, allowing segmentation decoders to be optimized alongside the main policy. A pre-training technique, Bootstrapped-GRTO (B-GRTO), further enhances convergence speed and performance. Experiments show B-GRTO significantly outperforms existing methods on challenging segmentation benchmarks. AI
