CSMCIR framework enhances composed image retrieval with symmetric alignment

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced CSMCIR, a novel framework designed to improve composed image retrieval (CIR) by addressing the fragmentation of representation spaces in existing methods. This approach utilizes a Multi-level Chain-of-Thought prompting strategy to generate semantically compatible captions for target images, thereby establishing modal symmetry. Additionally, CSMCIR employs a symmetric dual-tower architecture with a shared-parameter Q-Former for consistent cross-modal encoding and an entropy-based memory bank for high-quality negative samples.

    CSMCIR: CoT-Enhanced Symmetric Alignment with Memory Bank for Composed Image Retrieval

    arXiv:2601.03728v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) enables users to search for target images using both a reference image and manipulation text, offering substantial advantages over single-modality retrieval systems. However, existing CIR methods s…
