About this paper

Yikun Liu, Jiangchao Yao, Weidi Xie, Yanfeng Wang

Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University developed a comprehensive evaluation suite for Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) models, introducing the Fully-Informed Semantically-Diverse (FISD) benchmark to address ambiguous queries and an automated multi-round framework to assess interactive performance, revealing that multi-round interactions consistently enhance model efficacy.

Key insights

  • Existing CIR models show notable deficiencies in handling complex semantic modifications, such as negation and cardinality, even on the precisely controlled FISD benchmark.
  • Multi-round interactions consistently lead to substantial performance gains for CIR models across various benchmarks, indicating significant untapped potential in iterative refinement.
  • Foundation models can effectively simulate human user feedback in multi-round evaluation settings, offering a scalable and realistic method for assessing interactive retrieval systems.
