Jag: Direct Box Prediction for Efficient Visual Grounding

Visual grounding combines image--language understanding with geometric prediction, yet autoregressive multimodal models often express a box as a coordinate sequence.

Key points

  • Sequential decoding adds computation to the multimodal processing needed for localization.
  • Adapting these representations to box geometry offers a route to direct prediction.
  • We present Jag, which adapts a compact pretrained multimodal model for direct continuous box prediction.
  • These results show how supervision tailored to the geometric answer can specialize a compact pretrained multimodal model for accurate grounding and efficient direct prediction.
