• Abstract summary: This paper focuses on leveraging multi-modal content in the form of visual and textual cues to tackle the task of fine-grained image classification and retrieval. We employ a Graph Convolutional Network to perform multi-modal reasoning and obtain relationship-enhanced features by learning a common semantic space between salient objects and text found in an image.

• Abstract: Scene text instances found in natural images carry explicit semantic information that can provide important cues to solve a wide array of computer vision problems. In this paper, we focus on leveraging multi-modal content in the form of visual and textual cues to tackle the task of fine-grained image classification and retrieval. First, we obtain the text instances from images by employing a text reading system. Then, we combine textual features with salient image regions to exploit the complementary information carried by the two sources. Specifically, we employ a Graph Convolutional Network to perform multi-modal reasoning and obtain relationship-enhanced features by learning a common semantic space between salient objects and text found in an image. By obtaining an enhanced set of visual and textual features, the proposed model greatly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art in two different tasks, fine-grained classification and image retrieval in the Con-Text and Drink Bottle datasets.

  We devise a generic unsupervised technique to learn multimodal affinities between textual entities in a document-image. We then use these learned affinities to automatically cluster the textual entities in the image into different semantic groups. We show that our technique can operate on highly varying images spanning a wide range of documents and demonstrate its applicability for various editing operations.

  We propose a new visual contextual text representation for text-to-image multimodal tasks, VICTR, which captures rich visual semantic information of objects from the text input. We train the extracted objects, attributes, and relations in the scene graph and the corresponding geometric relation information using Graph Convolutional Networks. The text representation is aggregated with word-level and sentence-level embedding to generate both visual contextual word and sentence representation.
