Supervised Classification Heads as Semantic Prototypes: Unlocking Vision-Language Alignment via Weight Recycling

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at tasks like zero-shot classification and cross-modal retrieval by mapping images and text to a shared space, but this requires expensive end-to-end training with massive paired datasets. Current post-hoc alignment methods reduce computational costs by connecting…
