Abstract

The large-scale pre-trained vision-language model CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) aligns images and texts in a shared semantic space, demonstrating robust generalization capabilities across diverse downstream tasks. However, existing prompt learning methods often independently insert learnable prompt vectors into each layer of CLIP’s visual and text encoders. This approach results in limited cross-modal interaction, with independent prompts across layers failing to effectively guide the encoders in capturing task-relevant information. To address these issues, we propose Progressive Co-Prompting Learning (ProgCoPL) . This method introduces text-guided prompt vectors into the visual encoder layers and vision-guided prompt vectors into the text encoder layers, thereby enhancing cross-modal interaction and alignment. Furthermore, ProgCoPL incorporates information transmission channels between prompt vectors across layers, enabling hierarchical and progressive integration of task-specific information. Experiments on 11 datasets show that ProgCoPL efficiently adapts CLIP to downstream tasks, significantly improving its cross-dataset generalization ability. ProgCoPL outperforms existing methods in multiple generalization tests, particularly achieving notable advancements in cross-dataset scenarios.
