Flow-CLIP enhances compositional image-text matching with visual context

Researchers have developed Flow-CLIP, a novel method to improve compositional image-text matching by refining global alignment with image-conditioned changes in token-patch evidence. This approach incorporates visual patch context into token queries and uses the resulting adjustments to the global score to better handle captions that describe similar objects but differ in their binding. Experiments on benchmarks for compositional matching and attribute-object binding demonstrate that Flow-CLIP enhances binding accuracy compared to existing methods, while cross-image ranking supervision helps reduce reliance on language priors.

    Flow-CLIP: Image-Conditioned Residual Scoring for CompositionalImage-Text Matching

    arXiv:2610.21937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision--language pre-training has enabled substantial progress in image--text retrieval and zero-shot recognition by learning transferable cross-modal representations. However, sentence-level alignment remains insufficient for compo…
