摘要
Most vision-language models assume images have a single literal meaning, even though images are inherently polysemous. We propose a retrieval paradigm that models many-to-many relationships between images and text using interpretive lenses and introduce Lenses, a multi-prompt embedding model and dataset for polysemous image-text retrieval. The Lenses dataset contains 105,669 images and 732,405 captions, with each image paired with multiple captions and image-side prompts annotated across five categories: Literal, Figurative, Abstract, Background, and Emotional. Building on a multimodal large language model, the Lenses model uses learned lens tokens to extract lens-specific embeddings for every image and caption and compares these using a lens-masking similarity function with a global fallback that prioritizes same-lens matches while retaining a global pathway. Training uses a category-aware multi-positive contrastive loss and intra-set diversity regularization to align corresponding perspectives while preventing semantic collapse across lenses. We further propose lens-aware evaluation protocols, including category-aware ranking, that better reflect how humans match images and text. Experiments on the Lenses dataset and public benchmarks show that our model outperforms baselines on literal and non-literal retrieval and reduces over-reliance on literal cues.

Lenses: Toward Polysemous Vision-Language Understanding
Most vision-language models assume images have a single literal meaning, even though images are inherently polysemous.

The Lenses dataset contains 105,669 images and 732,405 captions, with each image paired with multiple captions and image-side prompts annotated across five categories: Literal, Figurative, Abstract, Background, and Emotional. Building on a multimodal large language model, the Lenses model uses learned lens tokens to extract lens-specific embeddings for every image and caption and compares these using a lens-masking similarity function with a global fallback that prioritizes same-lens matches while retaining a global pathway. Training uses a category-aware multi-positive contrastive loss and intra-set diversity regularization to align corresponding perspectives while preventing semantic collapse across lenses.
