New framework VMIR-CVI advances zero-shot composed image retrieval

Researchers have introduced VMIR-CVI, a novel framework designed to enhance zero-shot composed image retrieval. This method optimizes multimodal intent representation by converting complex queries into unified textual descriptions that align with vision-language model (VLP) spaces. Additionally, it reconstructs query representations using decoupled visual instance cues to minimize noise and preserve target-relevant information. Experiments on CIRR, CIRCO, and FashionIQ benchmarks demonstrate that VMIR-CVI surpasses existing methods and establishes a new state-of-the-art performance. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the accuracy and efficiency of image retrieval systems by better understanding complex user queries.

    Optimizing VLP-aligned Multimodal Intent Representation with Correct Visual Instantiation for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

    ZS-CIR aims to retrieve a target image from a reference image and a modification text without paired supervision, typically by encoding composed queries as text-dominant representations within the image-text matching space of VLPs. However, queries reconstructed by visual pseudo-…
