LLaVA-SG: Leveraging Scene Graphs as Visual Semantic Expression in Vision-Language Models

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Recent advances in large vision-language models (LVLMs) typically employ vision encoders based on the Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture. The division of the images into patches by ViT results in a fragmented perception, thereby hindering the visual understanding capabilities of LVLMs. In this paper, we propose an innovative enhancement to address this limitation by introducing a Scene Graph Expression (SGE) module in LVLMs. This module extracts and structurally expresses the complex semantic information within images, thereby improving the foundational perception and understanding abilities of LVLMs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that integrating our SGE module significantly enhances the LVLM’s performance in vision-language tasks, indicating its effectiveness in preserving intricate semantic details and facilitating better visual understanding.
