Open-vocabulary dense prediction tasks including object detection and image segmentation have been advanced by the success of Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP). CLIP models, particularly those incorporating vision transformers (ViTs), have exhibited remarkable generalization ability in zero-shot image classification. However, when transferring the vision-language alignment of CLIP from global image representation to local region representation for the open-vocabulary dense prediction tasks, CLIP ViTs suffer from the domain shift from full images to local image regions. In this paper, we embark on an in-depth analysis of the region-language alignment in CLIP models, which is essential for downstream open-vocabulary dense prediction tasks. Subsequently, we propose an approach named CLIPSelf, which adapts the image-level recognition ability of CLIP ViT to local image regions without needing any region-text pairs. CLIPSelf empowers ViTs to distill itself by aligning a region representation extracted from its dense feature map with the image-level representation of the corresponding image crop. With the enhanced CLIP ViTs, we achieve new state-of-the-art performance on open-vocabulary object detection, semantic segmentation, and panoptic segmentation across various benchmarks. Models and code are released at https://github.com/wusize/CLIPSelf.

Test-time adaptation (TTA) aims to adapt a pre-trained model from a source domain to a target domain only using online unlabeled target data during testing, without accessing to the source data or modifying the original training process. Among the various TTA methods, pseudo-labeling has gained popularity. However, the presence of incorrect pseudo-labels can hinder the effectiveness of target domain adaptation. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel TTA method, called PROtotype GRAph Model based pseudo-label learning (PROGRAM). PROGRAM consists of two key components: (1) Prototype Graph Model (PGM) for reliable pseudo-label generation; (2) Robust Self-Training (RST) for test-time adaptation with noisy pseudo-labels. PGM constructs the graph using prototypes and test samples, facilitating effective message passing among them to generate more reliable pseudo-labels. RST combines the advantages of consistency regularization and pseudo-labeling to achieve robust target domain adaptation in the presence of noisy pseudo-labels. Our proposed PROGRAM can be easily integrated into existing baselines, resulting in consistent improvement. Extensive experiments show that our PROGRAM outperforms the existing TTA methods on multiple domain generalization and image corruption benchmarks.

Localizing keypoints of an object is a basic visual problem. However, supervised learning of a keypoint localization network often requires a large amount of data, which is expensive and time-consuming to obtain. To remedy this, there is an ever-growing interest in semi-supervised learning (SSL), which leverages a small set of labeled data along with a large set of unlabeled data. Among these SSL approaches, pseudo-labeling (PL) is one of the most popular. PL approaches apply pseudo-labels to unlabeled data, and then train the model with a combination of the labeled and pseudo-labeled data iteratively. The key to the success of PL is the selection of high-quality pseudo-labeled samples. Previous works mostly select training samples by manually setting a single confidence threshold. We propose to automatically select reliable pseudo-labeled samples with a series of dynamic thresholds, which constitutes a learning curriculum.Extensive experiments on five keypoint localization benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art SSL approaches.
