New TLP framework adapts vision-language models without source data

Researchers have introduced Test-Time Logit Prompting (TLP), a novel framework designed to improve the performance of vision-language models (VLMs) when faced with missing modalities during deployment. Unlike previous methods that require access to original training data, TLP operates in a source-free manner, adapting VLMs at test time. The framework optimizes logit prompts using uncertainty-aware adjustments and modality-complete consistency regularization to maintain prediction confidence and semantic coherence. Experiments show TLP can boost recognition performance by up to 8% with minimal tunable parameters and a few optimization steps. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust deployment of vision-language models in scenarios with limited or unavailable training data.

    Test-Time Logit Prompting for Source-Free Missing Modality Adaptation

    arXiv:2609.02039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance by leveraging complementary information from large-scale image-text pairs. However, missing-modality inputs are commonly encountered during real-world deployment, of…
