I Walk the Line: Examining the Role of Gestalt Continuity in Object Binding for Vision Transformers

ArXi:2604.09942v1 Announce Type: cross Object binding is a foundational process in visual cognition, during which low-level perceptual features are joined into object representations. Binding has been considered a fundamental challenge for neural networks, and a major milestone on the way to artificial models with flexible visual intelligence. Recently, several investigations have nstrated evidence that binding mechanisms emerge in pretrained vision models, enabling them to associate portions of an image that contain an object.
