• Abstract summary: Multimodal tasks in the fashion domain have significant potential for e-commerce. We propose a novel fashion-specific pre-training framework based on weakly-supervised triplets constructed from fashion image-text pairs. We show the triplet-based tasks are an effective addition to standard multimodal pre-training tasks.

• Abstract: Multimodal tasks in the fashion domain have significant potential for e-commerce, but involve challenging vision-and-language learning problems - e.g., retrieving a fashion item given a reference image plus text feedback from a user. Prior works on multimodal fashion tasks have either been limited by the data in individual benchmarks, or have leveraged generic vision-and-language pre-training but have not taken advantage of the characteristics of fashion data. Additionally, these works have mainly been restricted to multimodal understanding tasks. To address these gaps, we make two key contributions. First, we propose a novel fashion-specific pre-training framework based on weakly-supervised triplets constructed from fashion image-text pairs. We show the triplet-based tasks are an effective addition to standard multimodal pre-training tasks. Second, we propose a flexible decoder-based model architecture capable of both fashion retrieval and captioning tasks. Together, our model design and pre-training approach are competitive on a diverse set of fashion tasks, including cross-modal retrieval, image retrieval with text feedback, image captioning, relative image captioning, and multimodal categorization.

  Leopard is a vision-language model for handling vision-language tasks involving multiple text-rich images. First, we curated about one million high-quality multimodal instruction-tuning data, tailored to text-rich, multi-image scenarios. Second, we developed an adaptive high-resolution multi-image encoding module to dynamically optimize the allocation of visual sequence length.

  We propose a visual-linguistic representation learning approach within a self-supervised learning framework. We generate diverse features for the image-text matching (ITM) task via soft-masking the regions in an image. We identify the relevant regions to each word by computing the word-conditional visual attention using multi-modal encoder.

  There exist two typical types, textiti.e., the fusion-encoder type and the dual-encoder type, depending on whether a heavy fusion module is used. We propose an effective yet straightforward scheme named PTUnifier to unify the two types. We first unify the input format by introducing visual and textual prompts, which serve as a feature bank that stores the most representative images/texts.

  ERNIE-ViL 2.0 is a Multi-View Contrastive learning framework to build intra-modal and inter-modal correlations between diverse views simultaneously. We construct sequences of object tags as a special textual view to narrow the cross-modal semantic gap on noisy image-text pairs. ERNIE-ViL 2.0 achieves competitive results on English cross-modal retrieval.

Our findings call for a backbone modelling approach that can be built on to advance text generation from images and text beyond image captioning.
