Seeing Through Words, Speaking Through Pixels: Deep Representational Alignment Between Vision and Language Models (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies show that deep vision-only and language-only models project inputs into a partially aligned representational space. |
| Approach: | They investigate whether a model's representational code is semantically shared . they find that alignment peaks in mid-to-late layers of both model types . |
| Outcome: | a forced-choice "Pick-a-Pic" task shows human preferences for image-caption matches are mirrored in embedding spaces across vision-language model pairs. |
