Vague2Detect improves object detection with ambiguous prompts

Researchers have developed Vague2Detect, a new pipeline designed to improve the accuracy of open-world object detection models when faced with ambiguous or functional prompts. Unlike existing models like YOLO-World, which struggle with vague language, Vague2Detect integrates a knowledge base and a fine-tuned Sentence-BERT model to better interpret user queries. For prompts not covered by the knowledge base, it utilizes GPT-3.5 Turbo to dynamically expand the knowledge base with new concepts. This approach significantly enhances the Vague Prompt Success Rate (VPSR), achieving 61% on a benchmark of household scenes, and up to 85% with the GPT fallback. AI

IMPACT Enhances the ability of AI systems to understand and respond to nuanced, real-world user instructions.

    Vague2Detect: Handling Ambiguous Prompts in Knowledge-Based Open-World Detection

    arXiv:2609.09949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world detectors must often interpret functional or ambiguous prompts, yet conventional models such as YOLO remain restricted to fixed class lists. Even open-vocabulary models like YOLO-World frequently misalign vague language…
