Pre-trained vision-language models have inspired much research on few-shot learning. However, with only a few training images, there exist two crucial problems: (1) the visual feature distributions are easily distracted by class-irrelevant…
Few-shot adaptation of vision-language models remains fundamentally limited by how negative class signals are handled at inference. Existing methods apply uniform negative suppression across all queries, ignoring that the most damaging…
