Attention-guided local dynamic alignment: Boosting zero-shot classification of vision-language models

This paper proposes Attention-guided Local Dynamic Alignment (ALDA), a training-free method that enhances zero-shot vision-language classification by employing attention-driven adaptive multi-scale sampling to reduce background noise and bidirectional iterative propagation on a region-description bipartite graph to model mutual semantic correlations, thereby achieving significant accuracy improvements across diverse benchmarks.
