• Abstract summary: RVSE consists of novel image-based and text-based augmentation techniques called semantic preserving augmentation for image (SPAugI) and text (SPAugT) Since SPAugI and SPAugT change the original data in a way that its semantic information is preserved, we enforce the feature extractors to generate semantic aware embedding vectors. From extensive experiments using benchmark datasets, we show that RVSE outperforms conventional retrieval schemes in terms of image-text retrieval performance.

• Abstract: Image text retrieval is a task to search for the proper textual descriptions of the visual world and vice versa. One challenge of this task is the vulnerability to input image and text corruptions. Such corruptions are often unobserved during the training, and degrade the retrieval model decision quality substantially. In this paper, we propose a novel image text retrieval technique, referred to as robust visual semantic embedding (RVSE), which consists of novel image-based and text-based augmentation techniques called semantic preserving augmentation for image (SPAugI) and text (SPAugT). Since SPAugI and SPAugT change the original data in a way that its semantic information is preserved, we enforce the feature extractors to generate semantic aware embedding vectors regardless of the corruption, improving the model robustness significantly. From extensive experiments using benchmark datasets, we show that RVSE outperforms conventional retrieval schemes in terms of image-text retrieval performance.

  Named entity recognition (NER) models often struggle with noisy inputs. We propose a more realistic setting in which only noisy text and its NER labels are available. We employ a multi-view training framework that improves robust NER without retrieving text during inference.

  Image-text retrieval is a central problem for understanding the semantic relationship between vision and language. Previous works either simply learn coarse-grained representations of the overall image and text, or elaborately establish the correspondence between image regions or pixels and text words. In this work, we address image-text retrieval from a novel perspective by combining coarse- and fine-grained representation learning into a unified framework.
