LAMP: Layerwise Adaptive Mixing of Predictors for Training-Free Few-Shot Vision-Language Adaptation

We propose LAMP, Layerwise Adaptive Mixing of Predictors, a training-free framework that combines global and regional information from multiple encoder layers.

Key points

  • Few-shot adaptation often relies on an encoder's final global representation, leaving complementary information in intermediate layers underused.
  • Global and support-calibrated regional kernel predictors independently fit the same label residuals.
  • LAMP achieves state-of-the-art mean accuracy among the compared published training-free ResNet-50 methods at 4, 8, and 16 shots, reaching 78.73% at 16 shots.
  • These findings show that combining layer-specific predictions can exploit complementary features from frozen encoders to improve few-shot classification.
