Reassessing Global Gradient-Norm Imbalance in BLIP Fine-Tuning Across Physical Domains

Imbalanced gradient magnitudes between the visual and language pathways of a vision-language model are often treated as a defect to be corrected. We test that premise for one family of correction, deliberately excluding adaptive, signal-driven schemes (e.g. BalGrad, OGM, PMR, CGGM), which are a mechanistically distinct...
