• Abstract summary: Scene Graph Generation (SGG) is a challenging visual understanding task. It combines the detection of entities and relationships between them in a scene. The need for localization labels significantly increases the annotation cost and hampers the creation of more and larger scene graph datasets. We suggest breaking the dependency of scene graphs on bounding box labels by proposing location-free scene graph generation.

• Abstract: Scene Graph Generation (SGG) is a challenging visual understanding task. It combines the detection of entities and relationships between them in a scene. Both previous works and existing evaluation metrics rely on bounding box labels, even though many downstream scene graph applications do not need location information. The need for localization labels significantly increases the annotation cost and hampers the creation of more and larger scene graph datasets. We suggest breaking the dependency of scene graphs on bounding box labels by proposing location-free scene graph generation (LF-SGG). This new task aims at predicting instances of entities, as well as their relationships, without spatial localization. To objectively evaluate the task, the predicted and ground truth scene graphs need to be compared. We solve this NP-hard problem through an efficient algorithm using branching. Additionally, we design the first LF-SGG method, Pix2SG, using autoregressive sequence modeling. Our proposed method is evaluated on Visual Genome and 4D-OR. Although using significantly fewer labels during training, we achieve 74.12\% of the location-supervised SOTA performance on Visual Genome and even outperform the best method on 4D-OR.

  We present a novel generative task: joint scene graph - image generation. We introduce a novel diffusion model, DiffuseSG, that jointly models the adjacency matrix along with heterogeneous node and edge attributes. With a graph transformer being the denoiser, DiffuseSG successively denoises the scene graph representation in a continuous space and discretizes the final representation to generate the clean scene graph.

• Iterative Scene Graph Generation with Generative Transformers [6.243995448840211]
  Scene graphs provide a rich, structured representation of a scene by encoding the entities (objects) and their spatial relationships in a graphical format. Current approaches take a generation-by-classification approach where the scene graph is generated through labeling of all possible edges between objects in a scene. This work introduces a generative transformer-based approach to generating scene graphs beyond link prediction.

  We propose to learn scene graph embeddings by directly optimizing their alignment with images. Specifically, we pre-train an encoder to extract both global and local information from scene graphs. The resulting method, called SGDiff, allows for the semantic manipulation of generated images by modifying scene graph nodes and connections.
