• Abstract summary: We consider the challenging problem of zero-shot video object segmentation (VOS) We treat this as a grouping problem by exploiting object proposals and making a joint inference about grouping over both space and time. We show that the proposed method, which we call ALBA, outperforms the previous stateof-the-art on three benchmarks.

• Abstract: We consider the challenging problem of zero-shot video object segmentation (VOS). That is, segmenting and tracking multiple moving objects within a video fully automatically, without any manual initialization. We treat this as a grouping problem by exploiting object proposals and making a joint inference about grouping over both space and time. We propose a network architecture for tractably performing proposal selection and joint grouping. Crucially, we then show how to train this network with reinforcement learning so that it learns to perform the optimal non-myopic sequence of grouping decisions to segment the whole video. Unlike standard supervised techniques, this also enables us to directly optimize for the non-differentiable overlap-based metrics used to evaluate VOS. We show that the proposed method, which we call ALBA outperforms the previous stateof-the-art on three benchmarks: DAVIS 2017 [2], FBMS [20] and Youtube-VOS [27].

  Humans tend to mine objects by learning from a group of images or several frames of video since we live in a dynamic world. Previous approaches design different networks on similar tasks separately, and they are difficult to apply to each other. We introduce a unified framework to tackle these issues, term as UFO (UnifiedObject Framework for Co-Object Framework)

• Rethinking Cross-modal Interaction from a Top-down Perspective for Referring Video Object Segmentation [140.4291169276062]
  Referring video object segmentation (RVOS) aims to segment video objects with the guidance of natural language reference. Previous methods typically tackle RVOS through directly grounding linguistic reference over the image lattice. In this work, we put forward a two-stage, top-down RVOS solution. First, an exhaustive set of object tracklets is constructed by propagating object masks detected from several sampled frames to the entire video. Second, a Transformer-based tracklet-language grounding module is proposed, which models instance-level visual relations and cross-modal interactions simultaneously and efficiently.
