Vision-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have demonstrated exceptional generalization capabilities and can quickly adapt to downstream tasks through prompt fine-tuning. Unfortunately, in classification involving non-training classes, known open-vocabulary setting, fine-tuned VLMs often overfit train resulting a misalignment between confidence scores actual accuracy on unseen which significantly undermines their reliability real-world deployments. Existing calibration methods typically...
