Researchers have developed SAGA, a novel framework that leverages frozen multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to enhance visual embeddings for retrieval tasks. Unlike traditional methods that use uniform class-label supervision, SAGA employs Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to derive attribute-specific gradients from an MLLM's predictions. This approach allows the vision encoder to learn more nuanced representations by focusing on differentiating attributes between image pairs. The framework has demonstrated significant improvements, boosting Recall@1 by 3 to 6 points over state-of-the-art baselines on several benchmark datasets for zero-shot image retrieval. AI
