• Abstract: Neuro-symbolic representations have proved effective in learning structure information in vision and language. In this paper, we propose a new model architecture for learning multi-modal neuro-symbolic representations for video captioning. Our approach uses a dictionary learning-based method of learning relations between videos and their paired text descriptions. We refer to these relations as relative roles and leverage them to make each token role-aware using attention. This results in a more structured and interpretable architecture that incorporates modality-specific inductive biases for the captioning task. Intuitively, the model is able to learn spatial, temporal, and cross-modal relations in a given pair of video and text. The disentanglement achieved by our proposal gives the model more capacity to capture multi-modal structures which result in captions with higher quality for videos. Our experiments on two established video captioning datasets verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach based on automatic metrics. We further conduct a human evaluation to measure the grounding and relevance of the generated captions and observe consistent improvement for the proposed model.

  In this paper, we study video in-context learning, where the model starts from an existing video clip and generates diverse potential future sequences. To achieve this, we provide a clear definition of the task, and train an autoregressive Transformer on video datasets. We design various evaluation metrics, including both objective and subjective measures, to demonstrate the visual quality and semantic accuracy of generation results.

  Embodied control requires agents to leverage multi-modal pre-training to quickly learn how to act in new environments. We propose Emergent Communication for Embodied Control (EC2), a novel scheme to pre-train video-language representations for few-shot embodied control. EC2 is shown to consistently outperform previous contrastive learning methods for both videos and texts as task inputs.

During generation, the model further incorporates visual relationships using multi-task learning for jointly predicting word and object/predicate tag sequences.
