New method LE-GDA boosts CLIP adaptation using intermediate representations

Researchers have developed LE-GDA, a novel method for training-free few-shot adaptation of vision-language models like CLIP. This approach leverages intermediate representations from the model's encoder, which are typically unused in standard methods. By fitting regularized discriminants to these representations and combining them, LE-GDA standardizes class scores and improves accuracy across various datasets and CLIP backbones. The method demonstrated a mean accuracy gain of 1.53% at 16 shots and a 1.20-point gain at one shot compared to a baseline that only uses final-stage embeddings, highlighting the value of intermediate representations.
