Subspace Alignment for Vision-Language Model Test-time Adaptation

arXiv — cs.CVWednesday, January 14, 2026 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new approach called SubTTA has been proposed to enhance test-time adaptation (TTA) for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), addressing vulnerabilities to distribution shifts that can misguide adaptation through unreliable zero-shot predictions. SubTTA aligns the semantic subspaces of visual and textual modalities to improve the accuracy of predictions during adaptation.
  • This development is significant as it aims to bolster the performance of VLMs in real-world applications, ensuring that these models can effectively adapt to new, unlabeled data without extensive retraining.
  • The introduction of SubTTA reflects ongoing efforts to improve the reliability and robustness of VLMs, which face challenges such as modality gaps and visual noise. This aligns with broader discussions in the field regarding the need for frameworks that enhance model performance in diverse tasks, including visual question answering and action recognition.

VMMU: A Vietnamese Multitask Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of VMMU, a Vietnamese Multitask Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark, aims to assess the capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) in interpreting and reasoning over visual and textual information in Vietnamese. This benchmark includes 2.5k multimodal questions across seven diverse tasks, emphasizing genuine multimodal integration rather than text-only cues.
Route, Retrieve, Reflect, Repair: Self-Improving Agentic Framework for Visual Detection and Linguistic Reasoning in Medical Imaging
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new framework named R^4 has been proposed to enhance medical image analysis by integrating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into a multi-agent system that includes a Router, Retriever, Reflector, and Repairer, specifically focusing on chest X-ray analysis. This approach aims to improve reasoning, safety, and spatial grounding in medical imaging workflows.
Zero-Shot Distracted Driver Detection via Vision Language Models with Double Decoupling
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new study has introduced a subject decoupling framework for zero-shot distracted driver detection using Vision Language Models (VLMs). This approach aims to improve the accuracy of detecting driver distractions by separating appearance factors from behavioral cues, addressing a significant limitation in existing VLM-based systems.
