Cross-modal alignment enhancement for lightweight large vision language models

Aug 2026 · The Visual Computer · Vol 42 · 0 citations · 52 references

TL;DR

A Low-Complexity Cross-Modal Alignment via Projection (LCAP) network is proposed, which introduces Projective Token Compression (PTC), which leverages Mish activation and adaptive average pooling to reduce feature redundancy while enhancing discriminative information, and Positional Spatial Enhancement (PSE), which explicitly injects positional cues into the compressed representations and strengthens spatial structure.

Adaptive Cross-Modal Fusion With Instance-Level Gating for Vision-Language Understanding

Multimodal deep learning integrates heterogeneous data sources such as images and text to enable machines to understand complex real-world contexts. Although recent vision-language models have achieved significant progress, most existing approaches rely on rigid fusion strategies that combine modalities either at early...

Dual Text-guided Cross-attention for Global–local Visual Fusion in Vietnamese Visual Question Answering

This study proposes a dual-stream architecture that exploits complementary Transformer-based and convolutional visual representations for Vietnamese VQA, and shows improvements over the corresponding single-stream convolutional baselines, supporting the complementary role of the two visual representations.

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.
