Language guidance enhances supervised vision training generalization

Researchers have explored how language models can enhance supervised vision training by providing auxiliary supervision. They investigated two methods: Explicit Language Guidance (ExLG) and Implicit Language Guidance (ImLG), evaluating their effectiveness across six generalization scenarios including out-of-distribution performance, resistance to spurious correlations, and adversarial robustness. The study found that these language-derived structures offer complementary strengths, with explicit guidance improving low-data performance and continual learning, while implicit guidance is more beneficial in shortcut-sensitive settings and against adversarial perturbations. Both methods are lightweight, adding minimal parameters and training overhead, and offer a practical approach to leveraging pretrained models from other modalities for vision tasks. AI

IMPACT Language guidance can improve the generalization capabilities of vision models, making them more robust to various real-world challenges.
