• Authors: Shuai Wang, Fan Lyu, Wei Feng, and Song Wang
• Abstract summary: Referring expression comprehension aims to localize a text-related region in a given image by a referring expression in natural language. We argue that for REC the referring expression and the target region are semantically correlated. We propose a novel approach called MutAtt to construct mutual guidance between vision and language.

• Abstract: Referring expression comprehension (REC) aims to localize a text-related region in a given image by a referring expression in natural language. Existing methods focus on how to build convincing visual and language representations independently, which may significantly isolate visual and language information. In this paper, we argue that for REC the referring expression and the target region are semantically correlated and subject, location and relationship consistency exist between vision and language.On top of this, we propose a novel approach called MutAtt to construct mutual guidance between vision and language, which treat vision and language equally thus yield compact information matching. Specifically, for each module of subject, location and relationship, MutAtt builds two kinds of attention-based mutual guidance strategies. One strategy is to generate vision-guided language embedding for the sake of matching relevant visual feature. The other reversely generates language-guided visual feature to match relevant language embedding. This mutual guidance strategy can effectively guarantees the vision-language consistency in three modules. Experiments on three popular REC datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods.

  Tracking by natural language specification (TNL) aims to consistently localize a target in a video sequence given a linguistic description in the initial frame. We propose a joint multi-modal tracking framework with 1) a prompt module to leverage the complement between temporal visual templates and language expressions, enabling precise and context-aware appearance and linguistic cues. This design ensures-temporal consistency by leveraging historical visual information and an integrated solution, generating predictions in a single step.

We extract key points and proposal points to model 3D contexts and instances, and propose point-language alignment with context modulation. To further capture both global and local relationships, we propose a spatially multi-granular modeling scheme.

Visually grounded language models slightly outperform text-only language models in instance retrieval, but greatly under-perform humans.
