Abstract

Abstract: The field of computer vision has experienced significant advancements through scalable vision encoders and multimodal pre-training frameworks. However, existing approaches often treat vision encoders and large language models (LLMs) as independent modules, limiting the integration of hierarchical visual features. In this work, we propose HIVE (Hierarchical Pre-Training of Vision Encoders), a novel framework that enhances vision-language alignment by introducing hierarchical cross-attention between the vision encoder and LLM. Unlike conventional methods that flatten image embeddings, HIVE enabl

Research Question

How do latency-accuracy trade-offs in automatically generated multimodal pipelines compare to manually optimized models on standard vision-language evaluation suites?

Verification Level

Descriptive public verification status only; aggregate claim counts are public, but individual claim records are not exposed here.

Truth-Engine Gate Verdict

This record has not completed Gate 2 of the verification pipeline (a type-checked Lean4 proof for mathematical claims, or a sealed-sandbox reproduction for empirical claims). It is a literature synthesis only. VERIFIED requires an attached reproducible artifact (Lean4 proof source, or repro script and results) before this status can be set; it is not derived from review score or claim count.

Quality Tier

Descriptive public triage only; this tier does not alter current publication or DOI behavior.

Quality Dimensions

Automated triage signals derived from public fields; not human peer review or independent validation.

Correction Record

Public corrections are additive records. Current status does not claim the synthesis is error-free.
