New CoCo-IR model enables iterative image search with LMMs

Researchers have introduced CoCo-IR, a novel task and model for contextual composed image retrieval that allows for iterative refinement of visual searches. The proposed Large Multimodal Model (LMM) interprets interaction history to generate evolving Transformable Image Embeddings (TIE). To facilitate training, an autonomous data engine leverages LMMs for data generation and model-guided verification for hard negatives. CoCo-IR demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, achieving 39.4 mAP@5 on the CIRCO benchmark and 44.1 R@1 on its new 4-turn dialogue benchmark, significantly outperforming existing methods. AI

IMPACT Enables more sophisticated, multi-turn visual search capabilities, potentially improving user experience in image-based applications.

    CoCo-IR: Contextual Composed Image Retrieval

    Current instruction-based image retrieval systems are powerful but limited to single-turn interactions, failing to capture the iterative nature of complex, real-world visual searches. To overcome this limitation, we introduce Contextual Composed Image Retrieval (CoCo-IR), a novel…
