Large Vision-Language Models: Pre-training, Prompting, and Applications

The rapid progress in the field of large multimodal foundation models, especially vision—language models, has dramatically transformed the landscape of machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. These powerful models, trained on vast amounts of multimodal data mixed with images and text, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in tasks ranging from image classification and object detection to visual content generation and question answering.
