Vision Language Representation

Vision-language representation learning aims to create computational models that understand and integrate visual and textual information, enabling more robust and versatile AI systems. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and reliability of these models, particularly by addressing issues like hallucinations and out-of-distribution detection, often through techniques like contrastive learning, masked image modeling, and multimodal fusion within transformer-based architectures. This field is significant because it underpins advancements in various applications, including image captioning, visual question answering, and robotic control, by enabling machines to better understand the world through a combination of visual and textual data.
