Researchers propose Gromov-Wasserstein distance for VLM vision encoder selection

Researchers have developed a new method for selecting optimal vision encoders for Vision-Language Models (VLMs). Traditional approaches, like choosing encoders with high accuracy or large size, were found to be ineffective. The study introduces the Gromov-Wasserstein distance as a metric to measure structural similarity between modalities, which correlates strongly with VLM performance. This new metric allows for efficient prediction of VLM performance before full training. AI
