用视觉原型提升提示调优效率，无需标签和训练

Prompt tuning adapts vision--language models with few trainable parameters, but existing approaches trade off efficiency and adaptation: static textual prompts can overfit source classes, image-conditioned prompts add per-instance computation, and multimodal tuning modifies the visual branch. We propose VDA (Visual Distribution Anchoring), a training-free target adaptation framework that augments a frozen semantic classifier with class-level visual prototypes estimated offline from an unlabeled target pool. We first ask whether prototypes can be synthesized from class names. A text-to-centroid mapper reconstructs held-out source prototypes but fails under dataset shift because class names specify semantic identity, not target-domain appearance. An oracle analysis confirms that true target prototypes are highly discriminative. VDA therefore uses frozen semantic and domain-template classifiers to partition unlabeled target images into class-correlated groups. Confidence-ranked image features form normalized prototypes, fused with the semantic classifier using one global weight. Adaptation requires no target labels, target-side optimization, uniform class-prior assumption, iterative refinement, or test-query access, and yields a fixed, cacheable classifier. Controlled experiments show that class-specific partitioning drives gains and that visually local pseudo-label errors can remain useful despite being class-incorrect. Across ten ImageNet-to-target transfers, the same frozen design improves zero-shot CLIP, TCP, and MaPLe by 3.22, 3.39, and 3.35 points, respectively, improving nine of ten targets in every setting. Its visual correction further improves leakage-free PromptKD by 2.79 points, complementing zero-shot, source-prompted, multimodal-prompted, and target-distilled classifiers.
