TALENT

Usage

To evaluate the model, follow the installation instructions in the GitHub repository and run the following script:

bash run_scripts/test.sh

To visualize the results, you can set the visualize flag to True in the configuration file.

It introduces a Rectified Cost Aggregator (RCA) to aggregate text-referred features and a Target-aware Learning Mechanism (TLM) to calibrate activation into accurate target localization. ## Resources - **Paper:** [TALENT: Target-aware Efficient Tuning for Referring Image Segmentation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2604.00609) - **Repository:** [GitHub - Kimsure/TALENT](https://github.com/Kimsure/TALENT) ## Usage To evaluate the model, follow the installation instructions in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Kimsure/TALENT) and run the following script: ```bash bash run_scripts/test.sh ``` To visualize the results, you can set the `visualize` flag to `True` in the configuration file. ## Acknowledgements The code for TALENT is based on [CRIS](https://github.com/DerrickWang005/CRIS.pytorch), [ETRIS](https://github.com/kkakkkka/ETRIS), and previous TALENT implementations.
