• Abstract summary: We introduce DiffAugment -- a method which augments the tail classes in the linguistic space by making use of WordNet. We demonstrate the effectiveness of hardness-aware diffusion in generating visual embeddings for the tail classes. We also propose a novel subject and object based seeding strategy for diffusion sampling which improves the discriminative capability of the generated visual embeddings.

• Abstract: The task of Visual Relationship Recognition (VRR) aims to identify relationships between two interacting objects in an image and is particularly challenging due to the widely-spread and highly imbalanced distribution of <subject, relation, object> triplets. To overcome the resultant performance bias in existing VRR approaches, we introduce DiffAugment -- a method which first augments the tail classes in the linguistic space by making use of WordNet and then utilizes the generative prowess of Diffusion Models to expand the visual space for minority classes. We propose a novel hardness-aware component in diffusion which is based upon the hardness of each <S,R,O> triplet and demonstrate the effectiveness of hardness-aware diffusion in generating visual embeddings for the tail classes. We also propose a novel subject and object based seeding strategy for diffusion sampling which improves the discriminative capability of the generated visual embeddings. Extensive experimentation on the GQA-LT dataset shows favorable gains in the subject/object and relation average per-class accuracy using Diffusion augmented samples.

  We introduce DIFfusionHOI, a new HOI detector shedding light on text-to-image diffusion models. We first devise an inversion-based strategy to learn the expression of relation patterns between humans and objects in embedding space. These learned relation embeddings then serve as textual prompts, to steer diffusion models generate images that depict specific interactions.

  We argue that diffusion-based DA methods cannot take account of both faithfulness and diversity, which are two critical keys for generating high-quality samples. We propose a novel-based Inversion Interpolation DA method: Diff-II. Experiments on multiple image classification tasks have demonstrated Diff-II's effectiveness over state-of-the-art diffusion-based DA methods.
