Towards Vision-Free CIR: Attribute-Augmented Scoring and LLM-Based Reranking for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

Recent work has shown that "Vision-Free'' approaches (representing images as text) can be effective for standard image retrieval tasks. However, it remains unclear whether this paradigm can effectively handle a more complex, multimodal task, Composed Image Retrieval (CIR), due to the inherent information loss in textual descriptions. In this paper, we introduce a Vision-Free CIR framework that addresses this challenge through two key techniques: (1) Attribute-Augmented Hybrid Scoring, which…
