Intra-Modal Neighbors Never Lie: Rectifying Inter-Modal Noisy Correspondence via Graph-Based Intra-Modal Reasoning

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.04061v1 Announce Type: new Large-scale web-harvested datasets have fueled the progress of cross-modal retrieval but inevitably suffer from noisy correspondence, which severely degrades model generalization. Existing methods primarily address this by filtering out noise or seeking a substitute label, yet they predominantly remain bound by a "Discrete Selection" paradigm. We argue that relying on a single discrete proxy induces Single-Point Fragility and Discretization Error.
