CARPRT: Class-Aware Zero-Shot Prompt Reweighting for Black-Box Vision-Language Models

Ruijiang Dong, Zesheng Ye, Jianzhong Qi +4

Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) enable zero-shot image classification by computing the similarity score between an image and textual descriptions, typically formed by ins…

Sample-specific Masks for Visual Reprogramming-based Prompting

Chengyi Cai, Zesheng Ye, Lei Feng +2

Visual reprogramming (VR) is a prompting technique that aims to re-purpose a pre-trained model (e.g., a classifier on ImageNet) to target tasks (e.g., medical data prediction) by l…

Visual-Text Cross Alignment: Refining the Similarity Score in Vision-Language Models

Jinhao Li, Haopeng Li, Sarah Erfani +3

It has recently been discovered that using a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM), e.g., CLIP, to align a whole query image with several finer text descriptions generated by a l…

Test-Time Multimodal Backdoor Detection by Contrastive Prompting

Yuwei Niu, Shuo He, Qi Wei +3

While multimodal contrastive learning methods (e.g., CLIP) can achieve impressive zero-shot classification performance, recent research has revealed that these methods are vulnerab…
