• Abstract summary: We introduce PEVL, which enhances the pre-training and prompt tuning of vision-language models with explicit object position modeling. PEVL reformulates discretized object positions and language in a unified language modeling framework. We show that PEVL enables state-of-the-art performance on position-sensitive tasks such as referring expression comprehension and phrase grounding.

• Abstract: Vision-language pre-training (VLP) has shown impressive performance on a wide range of cross-modal tasks, where VLP models without reliance on object detectors are becoming the mainstream due to their superior computation efficiency and competitive performance. However, the removal of object detectors also deprives the capability of VLP models in explicit object modeling, which is essential to various position-sensitive vision-language (VL) tasks, such as referring expression comprehension and visual commonsense reasoning. To address the challenge, we introduce PEVL that enhances the pre-training and prompt tuning of VLP models with explicit object position modeling. Specifically, PEVL reformulates discretized object positions and language in a unified language modeling framework, which facilitates explicit VL alignment during pre-training, and also enables flexible prompt tuning for various downstream tasks. We show that PEVL enables state-of-the-art performance of detector-free VLP models on position-sensitive tasks such as referring expression comprehension and phrase grounding, and also improves the performance on position-insensitive tasks with grounded inputs. We make the data and code for this paper publicly available at https://github.com/thunlp/PEVL.

  Current Referring Video Object (RVOS) methods typically use vision and language models pretrained independently as backbones. We propose a temporal-aware prompt-tuning method, which adapts pretrained representations for pixel-level prediction. Our method performs favorably against state-of-the-art algorithms and exhibits strong generalization abilities.

  We propose a novel Position-guided Text Prompt (PTP) paradigm to enhance the visual grounding ability of cross-modal models trained with Vision-Language Pre-Training. PTP reformulates the visual grounding task into a fill-in-the-blank problem given a PTP by encouraging the model to predict the objects in the given blocks or regress the blocks of a given object. PTP achieves comparable results with object-detector based methods, and much faster inference speed since PTP discards its object detector for inference while the later cannot.
