InterHier: Learning Interconnected Hierarchical Semantics for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

In this paper, we investigate the limitations of fixed, hand-crafted connectors in hierarchical semantic representations for open-vocabulary object detection. Existing methods establish semantic relationships between base categories and unseen novel categories by placing a fixed connector between adjacent super-/sub-categories. However, such fixed connectors may not optimally capture the relationships within a semantic hierarchy. To address this limitation, we propose interconnected hierarchical semantic representations (InterHier), which utilize a prepended learnable context to globally guide
