When Semantics Saturate or Emerge: Adaptation-Conditional Semantic Utility in Source-Free Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning

Language descriptions in source-free cross-domain few-shot learning (SF-CDFSL) are often selected according to zero-shot accuracy obtained with a frozen vision--language model. This paper asks whether that ranking remains valid after target-domain visual adaptation. Under a strictly paired protocol, we compare a generi...
