What Matters for Latent Reasoning with Flow Matching

Yassine Ouali, Adrian Bulat, Georgios Tzimiropoulos

Latent reasoning lets a large language model (LLM) think in a continuous space and verbalize only the answer. We argue that an effective latent thought must meet five requirements:…

UltraViT: Latency-Optimized On-device Vision Encoder for Large Vision-Language Models

Ioannis Maniadis Metaxas, Adrian Bulat, Alberto Baldrati +4

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) remain bottlenecked by massive computational footprints, precluding their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. While efforts to com…

VISion On Request: Enhanced VLLM efficiency with sparse, dynamically selected, vision-language interactions

Adrian Bulat, Alberto Baldrati, Ioannis Maniadis Metaxas +2

Existing approaches for improving the efficiency of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) are largely based on the concept of visual token reduction. This approach, however, creates…

Vision-Free Retrieval: Rethinking Multimodal Search with Textual Scene Descriptions

Ioanna Ntinou, Alexandros Xenos, Yassine Ouali +2

Contrastively-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have become the standard approach for learning discriminative vision-language representations. However, these mod…

Fwd2Bot: LVLM Visual Token Compression with Double Forward Bottleneck

Adrian Bulat, Yassine Ouali, Georgios Tzimiropoulos

In this work, we aim to compress the vision tokens of a Large Vision Language Model (LVLM) into a representation that is simultaneously suitable for (a) generative and (b) discrimi…

VladVA: Discriminative Fine-tuning of LVLMs

Yassine Ouali, Adrian Bulat, Alexandros Xenos +4

Contrastively-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP have become the de facto approach for discriminative vision-language representation learning. However, these models ha…

CLIP-DPO: Vision-Language Models as a Source of Preference for Fixing Hallucinations in LVLMs

Yassine Ouali, Adrian Bulat, Brais Martinez +1

Despite recent successes, LVLMs or Large Vision Language Models are prone to hallucinating details like objects and their properties or relations, limiting their real-world deploym…

FFF: Fixing Flawed Foundations in contrastive pre-training results in very strong Vision-Language models

Adrian Bulat, Yassine Ouali, Georgios Tzimiropoulos

Despite noise and caption quality having been acknowledged as important factors impacting vision-language contrastive pre-training, in this paper, we show that the full potential o…

Black Box Few-Shot Adaptation for Vision-Language models

Yassine Ouali, Adrian Bulat, Brais Martinez +1

Vision-Language (V-L) models trained with contrastive learning to align the visual and language modalities have been shown to be strong few-shot learners. Soft prompt learning is t…

Spatial Contrastive Learning for Few-Shot Classification

Yassine Ouali, Céline Hudelot, Myriam Tami

In this paper, we explore contrastive learning for few-shot classification, in which we propose to use it as an additional auxiliary training objective acting as a data-dependent r…

Autoregressive Unsupervised Image Segmentation

Yassine Ouali, Céline Hudelot, Myriam Tami

In this work, we propose a new unsupervised image segmentation approach based on mutual information maximization between different constructed views of the inputs. Taking inspirati…

Target Consistency for Domain Adaptation: when Robustness meets Transferability

Yassine Ouali, Victor Bouvier, Myriam Tami +1

Learning Invariant Representations has been successfully applied for reconciling a source and a target domain for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation. By investigating the robustness of…

Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation with Cross-Consistency Training

Yassine Ouali, Céline Hudelot, Myriam Tami

In this paper, we present a novel cross-consistency based semi-supervised approach for semantic segmentation. Consistency training has proven to be a powerful semi-supervised learn…
