HNC: Leveraging Hard Negative Captions towards Models with Fine-Grained Visual-Linguistic Comprehension Capabilities

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2605.06157v1 Announce Type: new Image-Text-Matching (ITM) is one of the defacto methods of learning generalized representations from a large corpus in Vision and Language (VL). However, due to the weak association between the web-collected image-text pairs, models fail to show a fine-grained understanding of the combined semantics of these modalities. To address this issue we propose Hard Negative Captions (HNC): an automatically created dataset containing foiled hard negative captions for ITM
