The CLOVE framework, developed by researchers at the University of Michigan and Netflix, significantly enhances compositionality in pre-trained Contrastive Vision-Language Models (VLMs) while maintaining performance on other tasks. Through data curation, hard negatives, and model patching, CLOVE improves VLM capabilities without sacrificing overall performance, outperforming existing methods and demonstrating effectiveness across multiple benchmarks.

Vision-Language Modeling Advances
Recent developments in Vision-Language tasks, particularly with models like CLIP, have demonstrated impressive performance. However, a key challenge lies in enabling these models to compose known concepts in novel ways due to limitations in text representations.
Challenges and Solutions
Existing methods like NegCLIP and REPLACE aim to enhance compositional capabilities in Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, they often trade off performance in object-centric recognition tasks like ImageNet.
Researchers from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor and Netflix have proposed a new method, CLOVE, that enhances the compositional language encoding in existing two-tower models while maintaining performance on standard benchmarks.
Practical Solutions
CLOVE achieves this through three key contributions: leveraging data curation, incorporating training with hard negatives, and utilizing model patching to preserve performance on previous tasks.
CLOVE enhances compositionality in VLMs by utilizing synthetic data generation, incorporating randomly generated hard text negatives, and employing model patching to balance compositional gains with maintaining performance on previous tasks.
Performance and Value
CLIP+CLOVE framework significantly improves compositionality over pre-trained CLIP while maintaining ImageNet performance within 1%. It outperforms other methods across compositionality benchmarks and achieves higher Recall@5 scores than alternative approaches.
