New PROVE adapter adds probabilistic visual grounding to vision-language models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced PROVE, a novel adapter for vision-language models that enhances visual grounding by providing probabilistic outputs. Unlike deterministic methods, PROVE maps frozen CLIP patch features to Beta distributions, allowing it to indicate the reliability of localization and detect the absence of a referent. This approach casts grounding as patch-level membership, accumulating evidence for or against a patch belonging to the referent. PROVE is competitive in localization accuracy and offers uncertainty tracking for selective prediction, making it a valuable tool for more robust vision-language systems. AI

IMPACT Enhances reliability and uncertainty quantification in visual grounding tasks for vision-language models.

    PROVE: Probabilistic Visual Grounding via Patch-Level Evidence for Vision-Language Models

    arXiv:2610.32440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual grounding with vision-language models such as CLIP typically produces a single deterministic relevance map for an image-query pair, without indicating whether the localisation is reliable or whether the referent is present at…
