PailitaoGR: Latent Think-with-Images for Generative Image Retrieval

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Generative retrieval has demonstrated strong performance by directly generating product semantic identifiers (SIDs). Extending this paradigm to image search, however, is nontrivial because real-world query images contain diverse information, including the search target, useful auxiliary evidence, and irrelevant visual content. This requires the model to identify and focus on the search target while selectively utilizing auxiliary evidence. In this paper, we propose \textbf{PailitaoGR}, a \emph{Latent Think-with-Images} method for generative image retrieval, which internalizes target-focused pe
