Bridging the Granularity Gap: Object-Centric Masking for Contextual Visual Learning

· 0 citations · 47 references

TL;DR

This work proposes to model objects as a stronger semantic unit for visual prediction, encouraging the encoder to learn the global context and semantics among visual elements, and shows that an object-centric objective reduces pixel-averaging shortcuts and yields more globally coherent and context-consistent representations.

Vision Pretraining for Dense Spatial Perception

This work proposes masked boundary modeling, a self-supervised paradigm that dynamically learns sub-pixel boundary representations and subsequently leverages the discovered boundary-bearing tokens as masked targets to facilitate dense visual token learning.

ReVA: A Region-Aware Visual Assistant for Visually Grounded Question Answering

ReVA is proposed, a region-aware VQA model that employs a frozen CLIP ViT-L/14 Vision Transformer (ViT) and a Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct large language model (LLM) connected through a dual bridge that aligns both whole-image and region-level representations with the LLM's embedding space.
