• Authors: Sulabh Katiyar, Samir Kumar Borgohain
• Abstract summary: Convolutional Neural Networks have been proposed for Sequence Modelling tasks such as Image Caption Generation. Unlike Recurrent Neural Network based Decoder, Convolutional Decoder for Image Captioning does not generally benefit from increase in network depth. We observe that Convolutional Decoders show performance comparable with Recurrent Decoders only when trained using sentences of smaller length which contain up to 15 words.

• Abstract: Recently Convolutional Neural Networks have been proposed for Sequence Modelling tasks such as Image Caption Generation. However, unlike Recurrent Neural Networks, the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks as Decoders for Image Caption Generation has not been extensively studied. In this work, we analyse various aspects of Convolutional Neural Network based Decoders such as Network complexity and depth, use of Data Augmentation, Attention mechanism, length of sentences used during training, etc on performance of the model. We perform experiments using Flickr8k and Flickr30k image captioning datasets and observe that unlike Recurrent Neural Network based Decoder, Convolutional Decoder for Image Captioning does not generally benefit from increase in network depth, in the form of stacked Convolutional Layers, and also the use of Data Augmentation techniques. In addition, use of Attention mechanism also provides limited performance gains with Convolutional Decoder. Furthermore, we observe that Convolutional Decoders show performance comparable with Recurrent Decoders only when trained using sentences of smaller length which contain up to 15 words but they have limitations when trained using higher sentence lengths which suggests that Convolutional Decoders may not be able to model long-term dependencies efficiently. In addition, the Convolutional Decoder usually performs poorly on CIDEr evaluation metric as compared to Recurrent Decoder.

  Motivated by continual learning, this work investigates how to accumulate and transfer neural implicit representations for multiple complex video data over sequential encoding sessions. We propose a novel method, Progressive Fourier Neural Representation (PFNR), that aims to find an adaptive and compact sub-module in Fourier space to encode videos in each training session. We validate our PFNR method on the UVG8/17 and DAVIS50 video sequence benchmarks and achieve impressive performance gains over strong continual learning baselines.

  We propose a novel decoder, termed dynamic neural representational decoder (NRD) As each location on the encoder's output corresponds to a local patch of the semantic labels, in this work, we represent these local patches of labels with compact neural networks. This neural representation enables our decoder to leverage the smoothness prior in the semantic label space, and thus makes our decoder more efficient.
