Visual and linguistic concepts naturally organize themselves in a hierarchy, where a textual concept "dog" entails all images that contain dogs. Despite being intuitive, current large-scale vision and language models such as CLIP do not explicitly capture such hierarchy. We propose MERU, a contrastive model that yields hyperbolic representations of images and text. Hyperbolic spaces have suitable geometric properties to embed tree-like data, so MERU can better capture the underlying hierarchy in image-text datasets. Our results show that MERU learns a highly interpretable and structured representation space while being competitive with CLIP's performance on standard multi-modal tasks like image classification and image-text retrieval. Our code and models are available at https://www.github.com/facebookresearch/meru

  1. On the rankability of visual embeddings

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Visual embeddings from CLIP and other vision encoders encode ordinal attributes along linear directions, recoverable from as few as two extreme reference images, without full supervision.
