Title: Decoupling Endpoint and Semantic Transition Learning for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.08389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zero-shot composed image retrieval (ZS-CIR) retrieves a target image from a reference image and a text modification without human-annotated CIR triplets. Projection-based ZS-CIR methods are attractive because they do not rely on LLMs at inference and remain lightweight, but they often underperform LLM-based approaches on complex semantic modifications. This gap reflects a semantic transition bottleneck in projection-based ZS-CIR: endpoint-level m
