• Abstract: In recent years, open-vocabulary (OV) object detection has attracted increasing research attention. Unlike traditional detection, which only recognizes fixed-category objects, OV detection aims to detect objects in an open category set. Previous works often leverage vision-language (VL) training data (e.g., referring grounding data) to recognize OV objects. However, they only use pairs of nouns and individual objects in VL data, while these data usually contain much more information, such as scene graphs, which are also crucial for OV detection. In this paper, we propose a novel Scene-Graph-Based Discovery Network (SGDN) that exploits scene graph cues for OV detection. Firstly, a scene-graph-based decoder (SGDecoder) including sparse scene-graph-guided attention (SSGA) is presented. It captures scene graphs and leverages them to discover OV objects. Secondly, we propose scene-graph-based prediction (SGPred), where we build a scene-graph-based offset regression (SGOR) mechanism to enable mutual enhancement between scene graph extraction and object localization. Thirdly, we design a cross-modal learning mechanism in SGPred. It takes scene graphs as bridges to improve the consistency between cross-modal embeddings for OV object classification. Experiments on COCO and LVIS demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Moreover, we show the ability of our model for OV scene graph detection, while previous OV scene graph generation methods cannot tackle this task.

  We present a new type of link prediction problem: link prediction on partially observable dynamic graphs. Our graph is a representation of a scene in which rooms and objects are nodes, and their relationships are encoded in the edges. We propose a novel state representation -- Scene Graph Memory (SGM) -- with captures the agent's accumulated set of observations. We evaluate our method in the Dynamic House Simulator, a new benchmark that creates diverse dynamic graphs following the semantic patterns typically seen at homes.

• Location-Free Scene Graph Generation [45.366540803729386]
  Scene Graph Generation (SGG) is a visual understanding task, aiming to describe a scene as a graph of entities and their relationships with each other. Existing works rely on location labels in form of bounding boxes or segmentation masks, increasing annotation costs and limiting dataset expansion. We break this dependency and introduce location-free scene graph generation (LF-SGG) This new task aims at predicting instances of entities, as well as their relationships, without the explicit calculation of their spatial localization.

• 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.

  Scene graph generation (SGG) is built on top of detected objects to predict object pairwise visual relations. We propose a relation regularized network (R2-Net) which can predict whether there is a relationship between two objects. Our R2-Net can effectively refine object labels and generate scene graphs.

  We propose one of the first methods that learn from image-sentence pairs to extract a graphical representation of localized objects and their relationships within an image, known as scene graph. We leverage an off-the-shelf object detector to identify and localize object instances, match labels of detected regions to concepts parsed from captions, and thus create "pseudo" labels for learning scene graph.

Based on the extracted features, we utilize Gated recurrent units (GRUs) to capture the temporal information for anomaly detection.
