Основные понятия
Large Language Models (LLMs) can provide valuable visual descriptions and knowledge to enhance the performance of pre-trained vision-language models like CLIP in low-shot image classification tasks.
Аннотация
The paper discusses the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve the performance of pre-trained vision-language models, specifically on low-shot image classification tasks.
Key highlights:
- Low-shot image classification tasks, including few-shot and zero-shot variants, rely heavily on category names as the source of class-specific knowledge, resulting in a shortage of distinguishable descriptions.
- LLMs, trained on large text corpora, can provide rich visual descriptions for fine-grained object categories that can be leveraged to enhance text prompts.
- The authors propose the LLaMP framework, which treats LLMs as prompt learners for the CLIP text encoder, to effectively adapt LLMs for image classification without fully fine-tuning the language model.
- Experiments show that LLaMP outperforms state-of-the-art prompt learning methods on both zero-shot generalization and few-shot image classification across a spectrum of 11 datasets.
- The authors also conduct extensive analysis to investigate the effectiveness of each component of LLaMP and discuss the optimal setup for LLM-aided image classification.

"The Yak-40 has a unique trijet configuration with a large passenger window section and a sloping nose, along with three engines mounted on the rear of the aircraft, creating an unmistakable silhouette in the sky."
"By simply incorporating noun phrases extracted from a LLM's response, the performance of the ordinary CLIP models is improved by more than 1% without any training."

"To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to investigate how to use the encyclopedic knowledge inherent in Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance low-shot image classification."
"We design a framework, LLaMP, to effectively adapt LLMs for image classification, without training the entire language model, and achieve state-of-the-art in both few-shot and zero-shot settings."
