Learning to Select Visual In-Context Demonstrations
Researchers propose a new method for selecting visual in-context demonstrations for multimodal large language models, improving upon the traditional k-Nearest Neighbor search approach
- Reframe demonstration selection as a sequential decision-making problem
- Develop a new selection strategy that prioritizes diversity and coverage of the task's output range
- Evaluate the new strategy against traditional k-Nearest Neighbor search approach
AI researchers and engineers working on multimodal large language models can benefit from this research to improve the performance of their models, particularly those working on complex factual regression tasks

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.26775v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) adapt to visual tasks via in-context learning (ICL), which relies heavily on demonstration quality. The dominant demonstration selection strategy is unsupervised k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) search. While simple, this similarity-first approach is sub-optimal for complex factual regression tasks; it selects redundant examples that fail to capture the task's full output range. We reframe selection as a sequentia
