Prompt Yourself: Awakening Textual Semantics in 1D Visual Tokenizers

· 0 citations · 60 references

TL;DR

VLTok is a novel 1D hybrid tokenizer that unifies V isual and L anguage representations in a shared Tok en space through a self-prompted training paradigm, and achieves state-of-the-art performance in both image reconstruction and image generation.

Slot2Text: Object-Centric Visual Tokenization for Efficient and Spatially Traceable Surgical MLLMs

Slot2Text, a dual-mode surgical MLLM that replaces dense representations of visual input with a compact set of regions encoded as slot latents, establishes compact slot latents as an efficient default visual interface for surgical MLLMs, with grounded reasoning invoked when greater spatial traceability is required.

Tiper: Tokenwise Prompt-Free Learning

Vision-language models (VLMs), such as contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP), exhibit powerful zero-shot generalization capabilities. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) techniques, notably prompt learning, have been extensively explored to adapt these models to downstream tasks. However, their efficacy rem...
