• Authors: Zhuowan Li, Quan Tran, Long Mai, Zhe Lin, Alan Yuille
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new task, context-aware group captioning, which aims to describe a group of target images in the context of another group of related reference images. To solve this problem, we propose a framework combining self-attention mechanism with contrastive feature construction. Our datasets are constructed on top of the public Conceptual Captions dataset and our new Stock Captions dataset.

• Abstract: While image captioning has progressed rapidly, existing works focus mainly on describing single images. In this paper, we introduce a new task, context-aware group captioning, which aims to describe a group of target images in the context of another group of related reference images. Context-aware group captioning requires not only summarizing information from both the target and reference image group but also contrasting between them. To solve this problem, we propose a framework combining self-attention mechanism with contrastive feature construction to effectively summarize common information from each image group while capturing discriminative information between them. To build the dataset for this task, we propose to group the images and generate the group captions based on single image captions using scene graphs matching. Our datasets are constructed on top of the public Conceptual Captions dataset and our new Stock Captions dataset. Experiments on the two datasets show the effectiveness of our method on this new task. Related Datasets and code are released at https://lizw14.github.io/project/groupcap .

  We describe a protocol to study text-to-video retrieval training with unlabeled videos. We assume (i) no access to labels for any videos, and (ii) access to labeled images in the form of text. We show that automatically labeling video frames with image captioning allows text-to-video retrieval training.

  We propose a new unified Vision-Language (VL) model based on the One For All (OFA) model. Our approach aims to overcome the context-independent (image and text are treated independently) nature of the existing approaches. Our system achieves state-of-the-art results with an improvement of up to 8.34 CIDEr score on the benchmark news image captioning datasets.

We introduce an intuitive baseline that outperforms these methods on zero-shot image-set retrieval by 10% on the GoodNews dataset.

  We introduce a new task called captioning on image (CapOnImage), which aims to generate dense captions at different locations of the image based on contextual information. We propose a multi-modal pre-training model with multi-level pre-training tasks that progressively learn the correspondence between texts and image locations. Compared with other image captioning model variants, our model achieves the best results in both captioning accuracy and diversity aspects.

The experimental results based on MSCOCO dataset shows the competitiveness of our approach.
