Unified Prompt Based Vision Task Execution

via “multi-task prompt-conditioned inference”

Microsoft's unified model for diverse vision tasks.

Unique: Uses learnable task-specific prompt tokens that condition the entire decoder output format, enabling task switching through text input rather than model architecture changes or separate model loading

vs others: More flexible than separate specialized models and more efficient than multi-head architectures, though with performance trade-offs compared to task-optimized models
