Findings

• IC-280CLIP, OpenCLIP, and SigLIP exhibit intra-modal misalignment: intra-modal similarity comparisons are suboptimal for image-to-image and text-to-text retrieval [eval]
• IC-281SLIP's intra-modal self-supervised loss reduces intra-modal misalignment, making inter-modal inversion unnecessary for image retrieval [eval]
• IC-318CLIP backbones from different architectures (ViTs and ResNets) trained with the same data and objective exhibit complementary strengths, with an oracle per-image backbone selection improving zero-shot accuracy by up to 43.5% over the best single backbone [eval]
• IC-319Different CLIP backbones exhibit distinct robustness profiles to specific image perturbations, with each architecture being most resilient to a different transformation [eval]
• IC-419CLIP ViT-B/16's layer-11 residual stream contains class-discriminative information in sparse SAE latent directions, and ablating class-specific top-k latents significantly degrades zero-shot classification accuracy [eval]
• IC-643Conditioning CLIP on correct contextual attributes in the text prompt improves zero-shot classification accuracy across 13 image transformations [eval]
• TM-010Fixed corner patches dominate Integrated Gradients maps regardless of image content [eval]
