• Abstract summary: The Out-Of-Vocabulary 2022 (OOV) challenge introduces the recognition of unseen scene text instances at training time. The competition compiles a collection of public scene text datasets comprising of 326,385 images with 4,864,405 scene text instances. A thorough analysis of results from baselines and different participants is presented.

• Abstract: This paper presents final results of the Out-Of-Vocabulary 2022 (OOV) challenge. The OOV contest introduces an important aspect that is not commonly studied by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models, namely, the recognition of unseen scene text instances at training time. The competition compiles a collection of public scene text datasets comprising of 326,385 images with 4,864,405 scene text instances, thus covering a wide range of data distributions. A new and independent validation and test set is formed with scene text instances that are out of vocabulary at training time. The competition was structured in two tasks, end-to-end and cropped scene text recognition respectively. A thorough analysis of results from baselines and different participants is presented. Interestingly, current state-of-the-art models show a significant performance gap under the newly studied setting. We conclude that the OOV dataset proposed in this challenge will be an essential area to be explored in order to develop scene text models that achieve more robust and generalized predictions.

  We introduce the Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event localization problem. This problem requires localizing audio-visual events and predicting explicit categories for both seen and unseen data at inference. We propose the OV-AVEBench dataset, comprising 24,800 videos across 67 real-life audio-visual scenes.

  "Detect Any Text" is an advanced paradigm that unifies scene text detection, layout analysis, and document page detection into a cohesive, end-to-end model. A pivotal innovation in DAT is the across-granularity interactive attention module, which significantly enhances the representation learning of text instances. Tests demonstrate that DAT achieves state-of-the-art performances across a variety of text-related benchmarks.

  Most vision-language foundation models employ image-text datasets for pretraining. We propose COSA, a COncatenated SAmple pretrained vision-language foundation model. We achieve this by sequentially concatenating multiple image-text pairs as inputs for pretraining. This transformation effectively converts existing image-text corpora into a pseudo long-form video-paragraph corpus.

  The competition opened on 30th December, 2022 and closed on 24th March, 2023. There are 35 participants and 91 valid submissions received for Track 1, and 15 participants and 26 valid submissions received for Track 2. According to the performance of the submissions, we believe there is still a large gap on the expected information extraction performance for complex and zero-shot scenarios.

  We present a novel domain-adaptive visually-fused event detection approach that can be trained on a few labelled image-text paired data points. Specifically, we introduce a visual imaginator method that synthesises images from text in the absence of visual context. Our model can leverage the capabilities of pre-trained vision-language models and can be trained in a few-shot setting.
