Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance with Prototype Anchor Calibration for Source-Fully-Free Adaptation of Vision-Language Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Source-Fully-Free Domain Adaptation (SFF-DA) has emerged as a strategic paradigm to adapt Vision-Language Models (VLMs) without any access to source data or task-specific source models. However, we identify a critical Dual Semantic Drift that hinders this process: static drift arising from the rigidity of fixed class embeddings, and dynamic drift stemming from the divergence of generated captions, causing severe semantic misalignment that intensifies the stability-plasticity dilemma. To address this, we propose DSSG (Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance), an end-to-end framework that reconciles fine-
