Vision-Language Grounding as Bidirectional Concept Correspondence
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language grounding connects language to visual content, yet most existing formulations reduce grounding to a unidirectional localization problem: given a prespecified text phrase or category name, identify the corresponding image region. This setup assumes that the relevant linguistic unit is already known, overlooking a more basic challenge in grounded communication: determining which parts of the text are visually referential and how they correspond to entities in the image. We formulate grounding as $\textit{bidirectional concept corr
