Plug-and-Adapt: Multimodal Coreference Resolution at First Sight with a Pretrained Alignment Model

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Learn how to adapt a pre-trained alignment model for multimodal coreference resolution tasks, achieving state-of-the-art results without requiring large amounts of training data or relying on massive Vision-Language Large Models (VLLMs)

advanced Published 17 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Pre-train a fine-grained alignment model between textual and visual contextual information using vision-language alignment datasets
  2. Repurpose the alignment model for multimodal coreference resolution through similarity aggregation by fusing visual and categorical cues with evidence theory
  3. Evaluate the method on benchmark datasets such as Coreference Image Narratives (CIN) and VCR-MCR
  4. Fine-tune the alignment model for specific tasks or datasets as needed
  5. Apply the method to real-world applications such as image captioning or visual question answering
Who Needs to Know This

Researchers and developers working on natural language processing and computer vision tasks can benefit from this method, as it provides a more efficient and effective way to perform multimodal coreference resolution

Key Insight

💡 A pre-trained alignment model can be adapted for multimodal coreference resolution tasks, achieving state-of-the-art results without requiring large amounts of training data or relying on massive VLLMs
