SLQ: Bridging Modalities via Shared Latent Queries for Retrieval with Frozen MLLMs

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) possess intrinsic reasoning and world-knowledge capabilities, yet adapting them for dense retrieval remains challenging. Existing approaches typically rely on invasive parameter updates, such as full fine-tuning and LoRA, which risk disrupting the pre-trained…
