• Authors: Wei Su, Peihan Miao, Huanzhang Dou, Yongjian Fu, and Xi Li
• Abstract summary: This paper explores the adaptation between expressions and REC models for dynamic inference. We propose a framework named Language Adaptive Subnets (LADS), which can extract language-adaptives from the REC model conditioned on the referring expressions. Experiments on RefCOCO, RefCO+, RefCOCOg, and Referit show that the proposed method achieves faster inference speed and higher accuracy against state-of-the-art approaches.

• Abstract: Different from universal object detection, referring expression comprehension (REC) aims to locate specific objects referred to by natural language expressions. The expression provides high-level concepts of relevant visual and contextual patterns, which vary significantly with different expressions and account for only a few of those encoded in the REC model. This leads us to a question: do we really need the entire network with a fixed structure for various referring expressions? Ideally, given an expression, only expression-relevant components of the REC model are required. These components should be small in number as each expression only contains very few visual and contextual clues. This paper explores the adaptation between expressions and REC models for dynamic inference. Concretely, we propose a neat yet efficient framework named Language Adaptive Dynamic Subnets (LADS), which can extract language-adaptive subnets from the REC model conditioned on the referring expressions. By using the compact subnet, the inference can be more economical and efficient. Extensive experiments on RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, RefCOCOg, and Referit show that the proposed method achieves faster inference speed and higher accuracy against state-of-the-art approaches.

  Generalized Referring Expression introduces new challenges by allowing expressions to describe multiple objects or lack specific object references. Existing RES methods, usually rely on sophisticated encoder-decoder and feature fusion modules. We propose a novel Model with Adaptive Binding Prototypes (MABP) that adaptively binds queries to object features in the corresponding region.

  Often-overlooked design choice is the retrieval unit in which the corpus is indexed, e.g. document, passage, or sentence. We introduce a novel retrieval unit, proposition, for dense retrieval. Experiments reveal that indexing a corpus by fine-grained units such as propositions significantly outperforms passage-level units in retrieval tasks.

  Large-scale retrieval is to recall relevant documents from a huge collection given a query. Recent retrieval methods based on pre-trained language models (PLM) can be coarsely categorized into either dense-vector or lexicon-based paradigms. We propose a new learning framework, UnifieR which unifies dense-vector and lexicon-based retrieval in one model with a dual-representing capability.

We propose a new dataset for visual reasoning in context of referring expression comprehension with two main features.
