Title: Criterion-Conditional In-Context Learning: Evaluating Criterion-Shift Adaptation in Vision-Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2607.02575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models can perform new tasks without parameter updates through in-context learning (ICL), whose core mechanism is utilizing the support set for task induction. In the standard ICL setting, once the task is induced, its decision criterion remains fixed. However, in real-world applications, many tasks exhibit a stable high-level intent, while their decision criteria shift according to specific requirements. Thus, we introduce a new
