Thinking Before Retrieving: Robust Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval via Strategic Planning and Self-Criticism

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Learn to improve zero-shot composed image retrieval by using strategic planning and self-criticism to construct effective retrieval-oriented textual queries, which enhances the robustness of the retrieval system

advanced Published 1 Jul 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a frozen vision-language embedding space to represent images and text in a shared semantic space
  2. Configure a strategic planning module to generate a retrieval-oriented textual query
  3. Apply self-criticism to evaluate and refine the generated query
  4. Test the robustness of the retrieval system using the refined query
  5. Run experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach
Who Needs to Know This

AI engineers and researchers working on computer vision and natural language processing tasks can benefit from this approach to improve the performance of their image retrieval systems. This can be particularly useful in applications where training data is limited or unavailable

Key Insight

💡 Strategic planning and self-criticism can significantly improve the robustness of zero-shot composed image retrieval systems
