• Abstract: Text-to-image person re-identification (ReID) aims to retrieve images of a person based on a given textual description. The key challenge is to learn the relations between detailed information from visual and textual modalities. Existing works focus on learning a latent space to narrow the modality gap and further build local correspondences between two modalities. However, these methods assume that image-to-text and text-to-image associations are modality-agnostic, resulting in suboptimal associations. In this work, we show the discrepancy between image-to-text association and text-to-image association and propose CADA: Cross-Modal Adaptive Dual Association that finely builds bidirectional image-text detailed associations. Our approach features a decoder-based adaptive dual association module that enables full interaction between visual and textual modalities, allowing for bidirectional and adaptive cross-modal correspondence associations. Specifically, the paper proposes a bidirectional association mechanism: Association of text Tokens to image Patches (ATP) and Association of image Regions to text Attributes (ARA). We adaptively model the ATP based on the fact that aggregating cross-modal features based on mistaken associations will lead to feature distortion. For modeling the ARA, since the attributes are typically the first distinguishing cues of a person, we propose to explore the attribute-level association by predicting the masked text phrase using the related image region. Finally, we learn the dual associations between texts and images, and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our dual formulation. Codes will be made publicly available.

  In this paper, we work towards the textbfEntity-centric textbfImage-textbfText textbfMatching (EITM) problem. The challenge of this task mainly lies in the larger semantic gap in entity association modeling. We devise a multimodal attentive contrastive learning framework to adapt EITM problem, developing a model named EntityCLIP.

  Current diffusion models create images given a text prompt as input but struggle to correctly bind attributes mentioned in the text to the right objects in the image. We propose focused cross-attention (FCA) that controls the visual attention maps by syntactic constraints found in the input sentence. We show substantial improvements in T2I generation and especially its attribute-object binding on several datasets.

  Text-to-image person re-identification (TIReID) retrieves pedestrian images of the same identity based on a query text. Existing methods for TIReID typically treat it as a one-to-one image-text matching problem, only focusing on the relationship between image-text pairs within a view. We propose a framework, called LCR$2$S, for modeling many-to-many correspondences of the same identity by learning representations for both modalities from a novel perspective.

  Composed image retrieval (CIR) is the task of retrieving specific images by using a query that involves both a reference image and a relative caption. We propose to leverage pretrained V-L models, e.g., BLIP-2, to generate sentence-level prompts. Our proposed method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art CIR methods on the Fashion-IQ and CIRR datasets.
