New framework GeoSim analyzes VLM representations for image restoration

Researchers have developed a new framework called GeoSim to analyze the internal representations of vision-language models (VLMs) for low-level image restoration tasks. The study investigates how different VLM architectures, such as autoregressive models and diffusion transformers, organize their representations for pixel-level perception. GeoSim employs a four-level analysis to reveal the underlying organizational principles and identify limitations in cross-task and cross-model transferability. AI

IMPACT Provides a new interpretability lens for understanding and improving the transferability of vision-language models in low-level image tasks.

    Geometric Similarity in VLM Low-Level Vision Representations

    arXiv:2610.00848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have emerged as powerful candidates for universal vision backbones, with representative architectures including autoregressive (AR) models and diffusion transformers (DiTs). Yet, adapting them efficie…
