Unifying Contrastive and Generative Objectives for Visual Understanding and Text-to-Image Generation

Chao Li, Tianhong Li, Sai Vidyaranya Nuthalapati +9

Unifying text-image contrastive learning and text-to-image (T2I) generation in a single end-to-end model is challenging because the two objectives demand opposing masking regimes:…

Reason to Contrast: A Cascaded Multimodal Retrieval Framework

Xuanming Cui, Hong-You Chen, Hao Yu +10

Traditional multimodal retrieval systems rely primarily on bi-encoder architectures, where performance is closely tied to embedding dimensionality. Recent work, Think-Then-Embed (T…
