• Title: Learning Structured Representations of Visual Scenes
• Authors: Meng-Jiun Chiou
• Abstract summary: We study how machines can describe the content of the individual image or video with visual relationships as the structured representations. Specifically, we explore how structured representations of visual scenes can be effectively constructed and learned in both the static-image and video settings.

• Abstract: As the intermediate-level representations bridging the two levels, structured representations of visual scenes, such as visual relationships between pairwise objects, have been shown to not only benefit compositional models in learning to reason along with the structures but provide higher interpretability for model decisions. Nevertheless, these representations receive much less attention than traditional recognition tasks, leaving numerous open challenges unsolved. In the thesis, we study how machines can describe the content of the individual image or video with visual relationships as the structured representations. Specifically, we explore how structured representations of visual scenes can be effectively constructed and learned in both the static-image and video settings, with improvements resulting from external knowledge incorporation, bias-reducing mechanism, and enhanced representation models. At the end of this thesis, we also discuss some open challenges and limitations to shed light on future directions of structured representation learning for visual scenes.

  We introduce improved Prompt Diffusion (iPromptDiff) in this study. iPromptDiff integrates an end-to-end trained vision encoder that converts visual context into an embedding vector. We show that a diffusion-based vision foundation model, when equipped with this visual context-modulated text guidance and a standard ControlNet structure, exhibits versatility and robustness across a variety of training tasks.

  Vision systems to see and reason about the compositional nature of visual scenes are fundamental to understanding our world. The models learned to bridge the gap between such modalities coupled with large-scale training data facilitate contextual reasoning, generalization, and prompt capabilities at test time. The output of such models can be modified through human-provided prompts without retraining, e.g., segmenting a particular object by providing a bounding box, having interactive dialogues by asking questions about an image or video scene or manipulating the robot's behavior through language instructions.
