Quantum-Inspired Vision: Leveraging Wave-Particle Duality for Low-Illumination Enhancement

Yiquan Gao

This study provides a theoretical expansion of the recent Data Relativistic Uncertainty (DRU) framework by formalizing a physics-to-AI paradigm for image enhancement. By modeling images as probabilistic wave functions rather than deterministic states, the paradigm explicitly integrates wave-particle duality to illustrate the system flow of how DRU leverages the intrinsic physical uncertainty of light, a dimension requiring further theoretical discussion. Consequently, this paradigm provides a rigorous Explainable AI (XAI) approach that enhances the interpretability of how DRU mitigates illumination bias and maintains robustness against data noise.

Vertical Fusion: Condensing Internal Representations for Robust ViT Classification

Francesco Di Salvo, Shyam Nandan Rai, Hamed Damirchi, Ignacio Meza De la Jara, Sebastian Doerrich, Marco Lents, et al.

Despite exposing rich intermediate representations, Vision Transformers (ViTs) are almost exclusively utilized as black-box feature extractors, where only the last layer is considered for downstream tasks. We challenge this convention by introducing the notion of recoverability:…

Ask Twice, Look Twice: Prompt Echoing Resolves the Question-First Paradox in Vision-Language Models

Rakshanda Hassan Abhinandan, John Galeotti, Deva Ramanan, Gautam Rajendrakumar Gare

Where should the question go in a vision-language model (VLM) prompt: before the image or after it? Intuition says before: knowing what is asked should tell the model where to look. Yet across visual question answering benchmarks, question-first prompting consistently underperfor…

Attributes Should Come from Images, Not Class Names: Distribution-Conditioned Attribute Selection for Vision-Language Models

Gautam Rajendrakumar Gare, Jia Shi, Zhiqiu Lin, Deepak Pathak, John Galeotti, Deva Ramanan

A popular route to interpretable zero-shot classification asks a large language model (LLM) to describe each class name and prompts CLIP with the resulting descriptors. We show that these descriptors carry little visual evidence of their own: removing the class name from the prom…
