• Authors: Benet Oriol, Jordi Luque, Ferran Diego and Xavier Giro-i-Nieto
• Abstract summary: We propose an effective approach for training unique embedding representations by combining three simultaneous modalities: image and spoken and textual narratives. Our experiments on the EPIC-Kitchen and Places Audio Caption datasets show that introducing the human-generated textual transcriptions of the spoken narratives helps to the training procedure yielding to get better embedding representations.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose an effective approach for training unique embedding representations by combining three simultaneous modalities: image and spoken and textual narratives. The proposed methodology departs from a baseline system that spawns a embedding space trained with only spoken narratives and image cues. Our experiments on the EPIC-Kitchen and Places Audio Caption datasets show that introducing the human-generated textual transcriptions of the spoken narratives helps to the training procedure yielding to get better embedding representations. The triad speech, image and words allows for a better estimate of the point embedding and show an improving of the performance within tasks like image and speech retrieval, even when text third modality, text, is not present in the task.

  Previous works leverage the CLIP's cross-modal association ability for image captioning, relying solely on textual information under unsupervised settings. This paper proposes a novel method to address these issues by incorporating synthetic image-text pairs. A pre-trained text-to-image model is deployed to obtain images that correspond to textual data, and the pseudo features of generated images are optimized toward the real ones in the CLIP embedding space.

  This work presents new methods to employ visual information as assistant signals to general NLP tasks. For each sentence, we first retrieve a flexible number of images either from a light topic-image lookup table extracted over the existing sentence-image pairs. Then, the text and images are encoded by a Transformer encoder and convolutional neural network, respectively.

  Story visualization aims to generate a sequence of images to narrate each sentence in a multi-sentence story with a global consistency across dynamic scenes and characters. Current works still struggle with output images' quality and consistency, and rely on additional semantic information or auxiliary captioning networks. We first introduce a new sentence representation, which incorporates word information from all story sentences to mitigate the inconsistency problem. Then, we propose a new discriminator with fusion features to improve image quality and story consistency.
