New research explores vision-language models for image recognition

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new arXiv paper explores the capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) for image recognition, comparing their performance in both language-guided and vision-only classification tasks. The research evaluates established and newer models like SigLIP 2 and RADIOv2.5 on the ImageNet-1k dataset. It analyzes factors influencing accuracy, such as prompt design and k-NN parameters, and proposes a fusion method to leverage the complementary strengths of textual and visual embeddings for improved classification.

    Image Recognition with Vision and Language Embeddings of VLMs

    arXiv:2509.09311v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled strong zero-shot classification through image-text alignment. Yet, their purely visual inference capabilities remain under-explored. In this work, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation …
