• Title: Domain-Specific Lexical Grounding in Noisy Visual-Textual Documents
• Authors: Gregory Yauney, Jack Hessel, David Mimno
• Abstract summary: Images can give us insights into the contextual meanings of words, but current image-text grounding approaches require detailed annotations. We present a simple unsupervised clustering-based method that increases precision and recall beyond object detection and image tagging baselines. The proposed method is particularly effective for local contextual meanings of a word, for example associating "granite" with countertops in the real estate dataset and with rocky landscapes in a Wikipedia dataset.

• Abstract: Images can give us insights into the contextual meanings of words, but current image-text grounding approaches require detailed annotations. Such granular annotation is rare, expensive, and unavailable in most domain-specific contexts. In contrast, unlabeled multi-image, multi-sentence documents are abundant. Can lexical grounding be learned from such documents, even though they have significant lexical and visual overlap? Working with a case study dataset of real estate listings, we demonstrate the challenge of distinguishing highly correlated grounded terms, such as "kitchen" and "bedroom", and introduce metrics to assess this document similarity. We present a simple unsupervised clustering-based method that increases precision and recall beyond object detection and image tagging baselines when evaluated on labeled subsets of the dataset. The proposed method is particularly effective for local contextual meanings of a word, for example associating "granite" with countertops in the real estate dataset and with rocky landscapes in a Wikipedia dataset.

  We propose an embarrassingly simple approach to better align image and text features with no need of additional data formats other than image-text pairs. We parse objects and attributes from the description, which are highly likely to exist in the image. Experiments substantiate the average 5.2% improvement of our framework over existing alternatives.

  We propose an end-to-end trainable network that mines implicit contextual knowledge behind scene text image. We employ KnowBert to retrieve relevant knowledge for semantic representation and combine it with image features for fine-grained classification. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art by 3.72% mAP and 5.39% mAP, respectively.

  We argue that captions contain much richer information about the image, including attributes of objects and their relations. We present a method that uses the attributes in this "textual scene graph" to train object detectors. We empirically demonstrate that the resulting model achieves state-of-the-art results on several challenging object detection datasets.
