New HN-CLIP method boosts dense-caption retrieval accuracy and training speed

Researchers have developed HN-CLIP, a novel approach to improve dense-caption retrieval by addressing limitations in the standard InfoNCE objective. This new method constructs adaptive similarity margins for negative examples using the text encoder's own geometry, assigning larger margins to more similar captions without requiring additional data or complex processing. Experiments on four benchmarks demonstrate that HN-CLIP significantly enhances retrieval accuracy and accelerates training compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and accurate image-text matching systems, benefiting applications like image search and content moderation.

    Which Negatives Matter? Ask Your Text Encoder: Adaptive Similarity Margins for Dense-Caption Retrieval

    arXiv:2608.18521v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense-caption retrieval has recently been improved by introducing segmentation, edge maps, LLM-filtered captions, and cross-modal modules into contrastive fine-tuning. However, these methods largely inherit the same InfoNCE objectiv…
