Explaining, Verifying, and Aligning Semantic Hierarchies in Vision-Language Model Embeddings

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Researchers propose a framework to explain, verify, and align semantic hierarchies in vision-language model embeddings

advanced Published 31 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Extract a binary hierarchy by agglomerative clustering of class centroids
  2. Verify the hierarchy using semantic similarity metrics
  3. Align the hierarchy with a reference hierarchy to improve semantic consistency
