Scaffolding Coordinates to Promote Vision-Language Coordination in Large Multi-Modal Models (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing prompting techniques for Large Multi-Modal Models (LMMs) focus on improving textual reasoning or leveraging tools for image preprocessing, lacking a simple and general visual prompting scheme to promote vision-language coordination. |
| Approach: | They propose a prompting scheme that scaffolds coordinates to promote vision-language coordination in Large Multi-Modal Models (LMMs) they overlay a dot matrix within the image as visual information anchors and leverage multi-dimensional coordinates as textual positional references. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on a wide range of vision-language tasks show the superiority of SCAFFOLD prompting over the textual Chain-of-Thought prompting. |
