• Abstract: Contrastive learning models have achieved great success in unsupervised visual representation learning, which maximize the similarities between feature representations of different views of the same image, while minimize the similarities between feature representations of views of different images. In text summarization, the output summary is a shorter form of the input document and they have similar meanings. In this paper, we propose a contrastive learning model for supervised abstractive text summarization, where we view a document, its gold summary and its model generated summaries as different views of the same mean representation and maximize the similarities between them during training. We improve over a strong sequence-to-sequence text generation model (i.e., BART) on three different summarization datasets. Human evaluation also shows that our model achieves better faithfulness ratings compared to its counterpart without contrastive objectives.

  Given a series of natural language captions, an agent must generate a sequence of images that correspond to the captions. Prior work has introduced recurrent generative models which outperform synthesis text-to-image models on this task. We present a number of improvements to prior modeling approaches, including the addition of a dual learning framework.

  This paper develops a plug-and-play hierarchical-topic-guided image paragraph generation framework. To capture the correlations between the image and text at multiple levels of abstraction, we design a variational inference network. To guide the paragraph generation, the learned hierarchical topics and visual features are integrated into the language model.

  Contextual embeddings derived from transformer-based neural language models have shown state-of-the-art performance for various tasks. We focus on the problem of textual similarity from two perspectives: matching documents on a granular level, and an abstract level. We empirically demonstrate, across two datasets from different domains, that despite high performance in abstract document matching as expected, contextual embeddings are consistently (and at times, vastly) outperformed by simple baselines like TF-IDF for more granular tasks.

  We present a novel image captioning architecture to better explore semantics available in captions and leverage that to enhance both image representation and caption generation. Our models first construct caption-guided visual relationship graphs that introduce beneficial inductive bias using weakly supervised multi-instance learning. During generation, the model further incorporates visual relationships using multi-task learning for jointly predicting word and object/predicate tag sequences.
