VeriCam: A Verification Baseline for the Classification of Unknown Data

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

The advent of foundation models have enabled a new era in zero-shot classification. Yet, key challenges persist. Despite their impressive generalization power that leverages the immense pre-training knowledge, both foundation models for image and text as well as vision-text hybrids lack the representational power needed for fine-grained, minutiae-based class separation that some real-world tasks require. To address the current gaps in the literature, we propose VeriCam, a pipeline designed to learn highly specialized features that enable classification of unknown classes in unseen data. VeriCa
