CARPRT: Class-Aware Zero-Shot Prompt Reweighting for Vision-Language Model

ICLR 2026poster

Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) enable zero-shot image classification by computing the similarity score between an image and textual descriptions, typically formed by inserting a class label (e.g., "cat") into a prompt (e.g., "a photo of a").Existing studies have shown that the score betwe…

Attribute-based Visual Reprogramming for Vision-Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

*Visual reprogramming* (VR) reuses pre-trained vision models for downstream image classification tasks by adding trainable noise patterns to inputs. When applied to vision-language models (e.g., CLIP), existing VR approaches follow the same pipeline used in vision models (e.g., ResNet, ViT), where g…

Sample-specific Noise Injection for Diffusion-based Adversarial Purification

ICML 2025poster

*Diffusion-based purification* (DBP) methods aim to remove adversarial noise from the input sample by first injecting Gaussian noise through a forward diffusion process, and then recovering the clean example through a reverse generative process. In the above process, how much Gaussian noise is injec…

Understanding Model Reprogramming for CLIP via Decoupling Visual Prompts

ICML 2025poster

Model reprogramming adapts pretrained models to downstream tasks by modifying only the input and output spaces. *Visual reprogramming* (VR) is one instance for vision tasks that adds a trainable noise pattern (i.e., a visual prompt) to input images to facilitate downstream classification. The existi…

Bayesian-guided Label Mapping for Visual Reprogramming

NeurIPS 2024oral

*Visual reprogramming* (VR) leverages the intrinsic capabilities of pretrained vision models by adapting their input or output interfaces to solve downstream tasks whose labels (i.e., downstream labels) might be totally different from the labels associated with the pretrained models (i.e., pretraine…

Sample-specific Masks for Visual Reprogramming-based Prompting

ICML 2024spotlight

*Visual reprogramming* (VR) is a prompting technique that aims to re-purpose a pre-trained model (e.g., a classifier on ImageNet) to target tasks (e.g., medical data prediction) by learning a *small-scale pattern* added into input images instead of tuning considerable parameters within the model. Th…
