Don’t Blind Your VLA: Aligning Visual Representations for OOD Generalization

To address the degradation of visual-language (VL) representations during VLA supervised fine-tuning (SFT), we introduce Visual Representation Alignment. During SFT, we pull a VLA’s visual tokens ...

MedUnifier: Unifying Vision-and-Language Pre-training on Medical Data with Vision Generation Task using Discrete Visual Representations

Abstract: Despite significant progress in Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP), current approaches predominantly emphasize feature extraction and cross-modal comprehension, with limited attention to ...

Do Visual Imaginations Improve Vision-and-Language Navigation Agents?

Abstract: Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) agents are tasked with navigating an unseen environment using natural language instructions. In this work, we study if visual representations of ...

Not Only Text: Exploring Compositionality of Visual Representations in Vision-Language Models

Abstract. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) learn a shared feature space for text and images, enabling the comparison of inputs of different modalities. While prior works demonstrated that VLMs organize ...
