Learn how to leverage Hard Negative Captions (HNC) to improve models' fine-grained visual-linguistic comprehension capabilities in Image-Text-Matching (ITM) tasks

advanced Published 9 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Collect a large corpus of image-text pairs from the web
  2. Create a dataset of Hard Negative Captions (HNC) using automated methods
  3. Fine-tune a pre-trained model on the HNC dataset to improve its visual-linguistic comprehension capabilities
  4. Evaluate the model's performance on ITM tasks using metrics such as accuracy and F1-score
  5. Compare the results with baseline models to demonstrate the effectiveness of HNC

Title: HNC: Leveraging Hard Negative Captions towards Models with Fine-Grained Visual-Linguistic Comprehension Capabilities

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.06157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-Text-Matching (ITM) is one of the defacto methods of learning generalized representations from a large corpus in Vision and Language (VL). However, due to the weak association between the web-collected image-text pairs, models fail to show a fine-grained understanding of the combined semantics of these modalities. To address this issue we propose Hard Negative Captions (HNC): an automatically created dataset containing foiled hard negative
